A contributor removed the WikiProject Terrorism template from an article with the edit summary:

"prejudment - there is nothing in the article that confirm he is or has been involved in terrorism"

The individual in question is alleged to have attended two Afghan training camps American counter-terrorism analysts routinely described as "terrorist training camps".

No, a mere allegation doesn't confirm he was involved with terrorism.

But is this template intended to be used solely on individuals who have been confirmed to be terrorists? Or is it also to be used on articles about individuals when an authoritative verifiable source has alleged are involved with terrorism?

If it is the latter then I think the template should be restored. Geo Swan (talk) 22:52, 20 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

  • The template is used for anybody believed, suggested or proven to be a victim or perpetrator of "terrorism" or "the war on terror"; with these examples, either the men are perpetrators...or they are victims. Either way, the template belongs. Sherurcij (speaker for the dead) 04:06, 21 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
