I question the notability of this article. I do not feel that every detainee of the United States needs his or her own wikipedia page. Furthermore, the references in the article are all primary sources, which contribute to, but do not establish notability according to wikipedia guidelines.

Could you please explain how you reached the conclusion the Seton Hall study this article cites is a "primary source"?

I recently posed a couple of questions, over on Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard, asking for opinions about whether the "Summary of Evidence" memos are not really "secondary sources". Short version -- the memos summarize multiple documents, from multiple agencies -- a canonical example of a "secondary source". I would appreciate it if you would go take a look there. If you still think they are "primary sources", I would really appreciate you leaving your explanation for this conclusion.

Regarding whether Guantanamo captives merit coverage here -- how do you know your feeling that they do not hasn't lead you to offer an instance of WP:IDONTLIKEIT?

Orphaned references in Ali Ahmad Muhammad Al Rahizi

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Ali Ahmad Muhammad Al Rahizi's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "MiamiHerald2015-11-16":

From Yemeni detainees at Guantanamo Bay: Carol Rosenberg (2015-11-16). "U.S. sends 5 Guantánamo detainees to the United Arab Emirates". Miami Herald. With Congress pushing stricter restrictions on prisoner transfers, the Pentagon this weekend released five Yemenis from the prison camps at Guantánamo to resettle in the United Arab Emirates, an Arabian Gulf [sic] nation. None of the captives had ever been charged with a crime.
From Timeline of the release and transfer of Guantanamo Bay detainees: Carol Rosenberg (2015-11-16). "U.S. sends 5 Guantánamo detainees to the United Arab Emirates". Miami Herald. Archived from the original on 2015-11-16. With Congress pushing stricter restrictions on prisoner transfers, the Pentagon this weekend released five Yemenis from the prison camps at Guantánamo to resettle in the United Arab Emirates, an Arabian Gulf [sic] nation. None of the captives had ever been charged with a crime. {{cite news}}: Unknown parameter |deadurl= ignored (|url-status= suggested) (help)

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 01:35, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
