[edit] September 11 Attack Casualties

September 11 Attack Casualties (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) –

Wikipedia is WP:NOT a memorial. shoy 19:44, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete: Unfortunately, this does fall into the category WP:NOT#MEMORIAL. - Rjd0060 19:47, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong delete per nom. I'd say speedy per WP:SNOW if I could find the precedent AFDs to link to (I know there are several). Darksun 19:54, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, memorial page previously rejected by consensus. See Wikipedia:9/11 victims and its Talk page for more information. --Dhartung | Talk 20:59, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Where does WP:NOT stop being about misc. material in memorial, to actually being factual, certifiable, and useful? There were issues like this during the I-35W Mississippi River bridge, and I simply cannot accept the catch all rebuttal that any list in effect creates a memorial purely for emotional reasons, and does not actually forward articles. Too often WP:NOT is brandished, and limits the knowledge base itself. While I agree that this particular list is in need of help, I do not think this AfD is appropriate.

  • Delete - This article does nothing but list the victims of the attacks. That information might be useful in an article such as September 11, 2001 attacks, but not as a stand-alone article. Either Merge the information into a suitable article, or simply delete per WP:NOT. -- Kesh 02:41, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge per Kesh. The content is useful, but the article is unsourced and a POV fork. Bearian 03:20, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - this should be speedied under CSD G4 given Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/American_Airlines_Flight_11_victims. Darksun 07:58, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
It wasn't really deleted by consensus, it was speedied at the request of the author. shoy 12:03, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
It looked like a pretty clear consenus before it was speedied though. However, if letting this AfD run it's course will help to build a more complete consenus then keep it running for the full 7 days. Darksun 17:46, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, Wikipedia is not a memorial. Pablo Talk | Contributions 08:53, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, unhelpful list and Wikipedia is not memorial. Carlosguitar 18:47, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge, or weak keep This list seems like something some researcher might find useful. Tiptopper 20:25, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Very Strong (very close to the speedy) Delete It only shows the victims from Flight 11 only consisting of a list of nn individuals and also WP is not a memorial.--JForget 23:25, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
