Simplify this list

edit

I suggest that this list be radically simplified and move back towards it's title. The bar of 'noteworthy' should be removed, it should aim to be a list of *all* prisoners. Further, prisoners who have been released or executed should be removed. Lod 04:02, 6 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

I disagree. We'll never be able to get a full list of all prisoners and in any case some would not want to have their names listed for privacy reasons - we should respect that given their circumstances. And if a notable prisoner has ben released or executed, here is the logical place to list him/her. -- Iantalk 05:04, 24 February 2006 (UTC)Reply
I'm with Ian here. Does anyone remember during 2005 the young Australian chap who was feared missing or even dead in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, only to reappear in a jailhouse in another state on a minor charge of being drunk in a public place? I'm sure somebody with an overseas imprisonment of that nature wouldn't appreciate the lifetime reminder of being listed at Wikipedia. Many people are arrested and imprisoned overseas. Some arrests are so minor, it's just not worth the mention in the media at all, or here. -- Longhair 05:17, 24 February 2006 (UTC)Reply
Rather than talking about "serious crime", how about "noteworthy crime"? Some crimes are serious but not noteworthy, and some are noteworthy but not serious, and wikipedia should be looking at whether a crime is noteworthy. Andjam 03:04, 26 February 2006 (UTC)Reply
To be included on the list, it should be likely that the person will be the subject of significant reports - ie meet WP:ATT. That is - given time someone will write an article about the person.
Being released should not be a reason to be removed from the list - but the list should provide a space for "released / executed" date (which it currently does).Garrie 01:44, 2 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Prisoners no longer imprisoned outside Australia

edit

Should prisoners who are no longer imprisoned outside Australia really be included in an article titled "List of Australians in international prisons"? It seems to me that if they are moved to a prison in Australia, they need to be removed from this list. --DavidGC 14:00, 9 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
