Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedy deleted as an attack or a negative unsourced biography of a living person, because... (your reason here) --~Of course it should not be deleted. I am still working on it and will work no it later. It is veriable and in the public interest and there is no other mention of it on Wikipedia. I shall return to it later in the day with more substantial information, sourced but thus far this has been the case.Clownbears (talk)

I have declined deletion as it does not appear to be an attack page. However, this subject is mentioned at Human rights in Australia#National Inquiry into Children in Immigration Detention. It may be better suited to add the information there instead of creating a separate article. If the content there becomes too large it could later be spun out to a separate article.

Four years later[edit]

The author of this article seems to have disappeared after making the comments above. There was some work on the article later that day, but four years later and we have an article that is very poorly formatted and so far as I can see does not amount to anything more than a dispute over the age of some people smugglers and whether they should have been sent to adult or juvenile facilities.

These people - asylum-seekers and people-smuggling crew alike - typically destroyed any identification in transit between Indonesia and Australia, presumably so that whatever story they told authorities on arrival could not be checked. If other means were used under medical advice to determine age, is this really a notable event? The article lists no person involved, apart from some lawyers, and some of the sources - YouTube videos and the like - look to be unreliable.

It was suggested above that this article be merged into another, which seems appropriate, but on checking the article mentioned, it is a very broad compendium on human rights in Australia, and this seems far too minor an event to be included there.

I suggest that it is far too minor an event to be included in Wikipedia. --Pete (talk) 19:49, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
