The result was merge to Mahmudiyah killings. If, as here, a policy (WP:BLP1E) applies to an article in a relatively straightforward manner, I am bound to consider arguments more strongly that argue for its application; conversely, I am bound not to weigh arguments that do not address why the policy should not apply here. The "keep" arguments of Judo112 and Geo Swan do not address the BLP1E issue and are thus discounted. Taking all this into account, we have a consensus to apply the BLP1E rule to this article.
