Guantanamo prisoners have always been notable, and are a clear case for [[WP:IAR]] to bypass the contradiction with GNG.

| − | Initially the Bush administration asserted that they could withhold all the protections of the [[Geneva Conventions]] to captives from [[the war on terror]]. This policy was challenged before the Judicial branch. Critics argued that the USA could not evade its obligation to conduct [[competent tribunal]]s to determine whether captives are, or are not, entitled to the protections of [[prisoner of war]] status.

| − | This policy was challenged before the Judicial branch. Critics argued that the USA could not evade its obligation to conduct [[competent tribunal]]s to determine whether captives are, or are not, entitled to the protections of [[prisoner of war]] status.

| − | | + | |
| − | Subsequently the [[United States Department of Defense|Department of Defense]] instituted the [[Combatant Status Review Tribunal]]s. The Tribunals, however, were not authorized to determine whether the captives were ''lawful combatants'' -- rather they were merely empowered to make a recommendation as to whether the captive had previously been correctly determined to match the Bush administration's definition of an [[enemy combatant]].

In response to those who would like to protect the rights of the detainees by deleting their Wikipedia articles, the response of a judge in denying the US Department of Defense the right to withhold information about the detainees:
Against deleting because it is dehumanizing, US propaganda, bleh bleh. The 'worst' stay on WP, the innocent get deleted. Which gives a distorted view of the imprisonment and procedures. The more innocent are in one sense more notable because unfair imprisonment is notable.
"Guantanamo" gets 134,000 hits on Google News. Are we to believe that this is because of the architecture of the internment facility there? Or perhaps the guards, or their uniforms? A score or two of Gitmo prisoner articles have been deleted, first on the basis of an outdated interpretation of the WP:PRIMARY rule that forbad all primary sources, and now an invocation of GNG that clearly contradicts the facts. Guantanamo prisoners have always been notable, and are a clear case for WP:IAR to bypass the contradiction with GNG. The article, like all Guantanamo prisoner articles, has been savagely cut, from a 32k article down to only 2k bytes,
