If we keep adding people to the "possibly alive" category, why not add Saddam Hussein, or JFK, or Michael Jackson? Don't be a conspiracy theorist.Bllasae (talk) 22:56, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Could you point to any reliable source that confirms that al-Yemeni is definitely dead? Because I can do that for all three that you mention above. NW(Talk) 22:58, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Can you? Or are they all in random countries around the world? I want irrefutable proof that Saddam Hussein is dead, and was not replaced with a look-alike.Bllasae (talk) 22:59, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Lol, Wikipedia is bullshit. That's why. Herp, Wikipedia doesn't work this way. This place is shit, and hardly reliable in any way.Also, apparently Wikipedia doesn't work that way, so why would you offer to provide proof?Bllasae (talk)
Wikipedia reports and distills what reliable sources, such as newspapers, journal articles, and books, have already reported. Now, please stop dodging my question: what reliable source has definitively said that al-Yemeni is dead? NW(Talk) 23:07, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
CNN, Huffington Post, and BBC.Bllasae (talk) 23:09, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, where's my proof of Saddam Hussein's death?Bllasae (talk) 23:10, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Links please to those three (note that the reliability of the Huffington Post is iffy at best)? Also, you can either watch his execution yourself (not a reliable source by Wikipedia's standards) or read this. NW(Talk) 23:15, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Huffington Post isn't a reliable source but Independent.co.uk is? Alrighty. Also, the links are in the references.Bllasae (talk) 23:19, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You mean the ones that say "US officials believe", "appears to have been killed," and "was believed killed"? Sorry, not good enough. This is why Category:Possibly living people exists. NW(Talk) 00:59, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I am going to readd the categories. Please do not remove them until we work out an consensus on this page. NW(Talk) 12:08, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
