This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record.
The result of the debate was ambiguous.

I count 7 clear "delete" votes, 1 "keep" vote (one very new user discounted) and 4 "keep as merge" votes (one probable troll discounted). Reviewing the article, I conclude that the content was in fact a fork from Islamophobia and find nothing that is appropriate to merge back. I also note that the article is an orphan.

On the principle that we should discourage the creation of forked articles that have the intent of pushing a particular point of view, I am going to exercise my discretion on this one and call it as a delete. Rossami (talk) 22:48, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Islamophobia and Islamism[edit]

POV fork. Firebug 05:13, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep or else merge back into criticisms section of Islamophobia,Islamofascism,Islamism. I think this article is good starting point for documenting how charges of "Islamophobia" get bandied about by Islamists, similar to charges of antisemetism by some Zionists.

  • Delete. User has created an awkward title just to push his POV. The issue - both sides of it - is covered well by Islamophobia. Eixo 08:06, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep The article makes a good case for the right of free speech versus the effort to suppress it by association with racism.--Artoner 12:27, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • This is Artoner's first edit. Anyway, it's not the function of articles to "make a good case" for political propositions; Wikipedia is not a soapbox. Firebug 13:03, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge with Islamophobia. Why do we need 2? Internodeuser 13:10, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete No need to merge any of this content. The issue is already covered in a reasonably NPOV fashion in Islamophobia. Leithp 20:37, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
