Criticism of Islam

Everything in this world is being "criticised", and we don't need articles on that. Besides, as this article is now, and as it has been for quite some time, it's just a collection of links. The intro is the only thing that isn't, and I say that part is redundant and being covered elsewhere. I'm only surprised this hasen't been up for deletion before. I say it's time.

• Speedy delete as a collection of links. --bainer (talk) 14:03, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. This doesn't really say anything Islam doesn't already say (see "Islam and the clash of civilizations" in that article, in particular), so there isn't anything to merge, unless someone wants to save those links, which don't seem that notable to me. If this can be speedied, so much the better. -- Captain Disdain 14:18, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Not an encyclopedia article. A simple solution is to merge the contents into main Islam article. - Mike Rosoft 15:28, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Done. - Mike Rosoft 15:37, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• comments if this is merged into Islam, as has now been done, then it can't be deleted for copyright reasons. In theory this is a legitimate topic and there is still no section of criticism of Islam in the Islam article, however nobody seems willing to write decent material in anything like NPOV so I'm not going to actively oppose this deletion. Until there is material to censor, nobody can cry censorship. Please note that this page used to be longer; I personally, deleted non NPOV material from the page earlier.

• Merge with Persecution of Muslims ~~~~ 17:28, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Abstain - but certainly don't merge with Persecution of Muslims - criticism and persecution of a religion are two different things. --Doc (?) 21:11, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as POV attack. Revolución 23:35, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Useful stuf to Islam. Other stuff can go. DJ Clayworth 03:50, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete wikipedia is not a collection of external links. JamesBurns 03:56, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Just a collection of links. --Arm
• Merge useful links to Islam (if any, that is) and delete - Skysmith 09:45, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • please note that you can't "merge and delete"; the VFD guidelines say this should be taken as "merge and keep". For copyright reasons, I plan to revert the merge if this page gets deleted. Mozzerati 09:17, 2005 Jun 12 (UTC)
    • If you believe this page is a copyvio then it should be deleted, otherwise I do not understand why you would revert the merge for copyright reasons: if you have written submitted the content yourself to Wikipedia, the Wikimedia foundation now owns the copyright. Axon 09:43, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Also you are mistating wikipedia policy: this can be read as either a Keep or Delete Axon 09:48, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. POV link collection. Jayjg ^(talk) 21:32, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect to Islam and then protect the page. Blackcats 06:08, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep This is a highly disturbing trend. Wikipedia has been hijacked by Islamists. First some Islamist proposes a page for deletion, and then invites others to vote. Islamophilia is another example. Administrators should do something.
