The result was keep. While several of the arguments for keeping merely state "it's useful," I do not find the arguments for deletion to be convincing. As is, the article does violate WP:IINFO (only because of the "excessive listing of statistics" clause), but because there is an easily defined rationale for inclusion in the list, I see this as a problem to be fixed by editing rather than deletion. Furthermore, it should be noted that the article does not fail the fourth criteria of WP:IINFO ("News reports") becuase the reports included are used as references, not as a basis for an article.

This article should be deleted as it is an indiscriminate collection of information. It was created by one of the many sock puppets User:Top Gun has employed in attempts to evade their indefinite block, and has mainly been edited by Top Gun using sock puppet and IP accounts. Top Gun's editing pattern is to hoover up random news reports of casualties in ongoing wars and create giant lists of them, including OR casualty totals. Many of these articles have been previously deleted, including the corresponding article for the Iraq War (see: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of insurgent fatality reports in Iraq) and this list should join them as it is nothing but a large list of news reports.
