On a living Guantanamo prisoner with no independent coverage at all. Fails WP:GNG, WP:BIO, WP:BLP1E. There are no secondary sources to claim notability and the citations used are primary sources (WP:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 84#Reliability of US military summary reports).

- Keep -- Prior to this Afd this article was gutted on questionable ground by a contributor who was subsequently permanently blocked for edit-warring. Rather than try to roll-back the article to prior to the questionable edits of that contributor I spent most of today rewriting the article.
Al Aasmi, or to call him by his real name, Walid Hijazi, was the first Guantanamo captive who was not a Spainard who was transferred to Spain. He has subsequently had multiple profiles in the Spanish press. Geo Swan (talk) 18:01, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Walid Ibrahim Mustafa Abu Hijazi aterrizó en España procedente de Guantánamo a finales de febrero vistiendo aún su mono de la "cárcel de la vergüenza". Es palestino; el primer preso de Guantánamo acogido en nuestro país en virtud de un acuerdo del Gobierno de Zapatero con la Administración de Barack Obama.

... there are concerns that the ill-defined obligations of countries accepting cleared prisoners from Guantánamo have left the first prisoner given a new life in Spain — the Palestinian Walid Hijazi, who was released in February — in a precarious position, effectively abandoned by the State, and largely reliant on the kindness of strangers for his financial and psychological support.

The Palestinian Assem Matruq al-Aasmi, for example, who is from Gaza, and was 21 years old at the time of his capture, was seized by the Pakistani authorities from a hospital and handed over — or sold — to the Americans.

- Comment @ creator Geo Swan Andy's Blog entry 1 and Andy's Blog entry 2 are blogs from author who has written a book on the Guantanamo prisoners WP:COI ?. cageprisoners.com Primary source on Guantanamo Prisoners with its routine articles, does not establish Notability. The subject still fails WP:BLP1E --DBigXray 11:28, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Still WP:BLP1E, being arrested and held in Gitmo is not a noteworthy enough of a single event to surpass 1E even where there is scant reliable Source coverage. I sincerely hope at the end of all these mass AfD noms that Geo Swan is topic-banned from any terrorism-related articles so we can be done with this junk once and for all.

- Delete WP:BLP1E applies here, especially as the article provides no evidence of repeated in-depth coverage in the Spanish press as claimed above. Nick-D (talk) 08:27, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
