• Delete. Personal essay. -- Antaeus Feldspar 20:08, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC) Keep the new content of the article. It needs work but it's a damn good start. Nice work, 146.176.2.17! -- Antaeus Feldspar 22:35, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)

• Indeed, it seems to be a copy-and-paste text dump of this editorial. I have removed the material and listed it on WP:CP accordingly. [[User:Livajo|Ливай | ☺]] 23:06, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)

• Oh, and for the record, delete. [[User:Livajo|Ливай | ☺]] 23:06, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)

• I am impressed with the rewrite and feel that it has potential to be a good NPOV encyclopedic article. Keep. [[User:Livajo|Ливай | ☺]] 00:37, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hi there, I feel that this is a useful article in certain ways. I have added a list of Islamic democracies, as far as I can find them. Please tell me what you think of the new version, and if it can be "saved" - RB p.s. I am not a Muslim, so impartial in this matter.

• • Hi anonymous contributor. I think this is very important subject and I very much hope a wikipedia-compatible article about it can be created. It may help if you read about Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and Wikipedia:Cite sources and go back to work on the article. Kappa 00:25, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • Dear Kappa, I have attempted to 'improve' the article to the best of my knowledge, although most of the new contribution has been on the western democracies, and the former Soviet Union. The article probably needs a good list of "see also"s. Hopefully it should barely resemble the original cut and paste job, but still deal with Islamic democracy. - R.B. p.s. I'm just going to add one more section, so see what you think...
• Keep. The article has a ways to go yet, but it's definitely coming together as an article, and it certainly doesn't qualify under the deletion policy. I hope those who have made improvements will continue to do so! Jwrosenzweig 20:58, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Certainly Keep now, continued improvement would be great. Kappa 22:17, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Significantly expanded - keep. Samaritan 00:44, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• I don't particularly like the article in its current state, but it has potential. 'Keep. -- Jmabel | Talk 00:55, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)
  • - Jmabel, please tell me what you don't like about it, and maybe it can be set right. ~~RB
