explanation

I reverted this excision. No doubt well-intentioned -- but hasty -- contributor's edit summary said: "Guantanamo medical records: remove - not relevant, poorly sourced, possible harmful WP:NPF, WP:GRAPEVINE"

That edit summary is all the explanation that has been offered so far? Geo Swan (talk) 07:21, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Relevance?

  1. The camp has been the subject of an on-going series of hunger strikes;
  2. There are conflicting reports on what the captives' diet has been like, with some accounts saying ordinary captives have wasted away, due to bad diet, while the authorities say that captives have all gained weight;

These records show:

  1. that most captives did gain weight, and most captives were overweight, or at the high end of the normal range, for most of their stay;
  2. that many captives weigh-in records include periods of wild fluctuation;
  3. that some captives remained underweight for the duration of their stay;

It would be "orginal research" to insert into article space speculation over the cause of the wild fluctuations in weight.

These records also show when the captives arrived at the camp. Geo Swan (talk) 07:21, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Poorly sourced?

This claim puzzles me. The DoD published height and weight records. Is the challenger waiting for the camp authorities to allow the Red Cross to weigh the captives, and publish their weights? Geo Swan (talk) 07:21, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Possibly harmful?

Again, this assertion puzzles me. Geo Swan (talk) 07:21, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
