Passenger List[edit]

I removed the passenger list, for now, as I couldn't see it on any of the links given in the sources at the bottom or at http://www.arminfo.am/ - can someone please find a permalink for the source of this list?

Would also like to know what our policy is with naming the dead from major disastors. Many news outlets have a policy of only releasing lists AFTER they are sure that all of the relatives have been informed, where possible (to avoid family finding out the news indirectly). Should we follow this? There's also the issue of being even more thorough than usual to try and make sure the list is correct. Re-publishing the name of someone who was meant to be on the flight, but cancelled late (or didn't make the plane), which has happened before, can potentially cause a lot of upset.

I'm not against the list, but we should be careful, is all I'm saying... Frankie Roberto 13:34, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
