 * Symbol question.svg hook doesn't make any sense grammatically. In any case, the source used in the article doesn't make this claim.--Carabinieri (talk) 22:23, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
 * The hook might be grammatically incorrect, but it is definitely sourced. Please see this article the The Economist. Scroll down to the chart, which appears next to the paragraph "Or take Rotterdam, where Ahmed Aboutaleb, a Muslim from Morocco, will take over as mayor at the start of 2009." As you can from the chart, Paris has, by far, more Muslims than any other city in the EU. -- Ե րևանցի talk  01:08, 16 February 2013 (UTC)


 * ALT1 ... that more Muslims live in Paris than any other city in the European Union?


 * ALT2 ... that Paris has the largest number of Muslims in the European Union?
 * The chart in the Economist only lists selected cities and does not claim that there aren't any other cities with more Muslims. The cities listed there are probably those with the largest number of Muslims, but the article doesn't say so.--Carabinieri (talk) 01:12, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Does it really have to state the obvious? If you gonna follow that "word-by-word" style, then see ALT3. -- Ե րևանցի talk  02:11, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
 * ALT3 ... that the quarter of France's second largest city, Marseille, is Muslim? -- Ե րևանցի talk  02:11, 16 February 2013 (UTC)


 * That should be "a quarter" rather than "the quarter". The claim in the original hook is still in the article, but unsourced. I was unable to find the claim "Although Muslim communities existed in the Old Continent long before this, especially in the Balkans, no major wave of immigration of Islamic population ever took place before" in the cited source. The source for the claim that "In Western Europe, Muslims generally live in major urban areas, often concentrated in poor neighborhoods of large cities" says nothing about Muslims being concentrated in poor neighborhoods. Also, the source is talking about Muslims in the "West" in general, not just about the European Union. More generally, it seems to me that most of the prose in the article discusses Islam in Europe in general not the Muslim population of the major cities in the European Union, so there seems to be a slight disconnect between the article's title and its content.--Carabinieri (talk) 03:10, 16 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg There has been no response here in three weeks, and after an inquiry on Yerevanci's talk page, it seems apparent that there will be no further edits on the article given a disagreement as to whether data from Daniel Pipes is appropriate for inclusion. I'm giving another two or three days in case matters change, but expect to close the nomination after that interval if they don't. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:29, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
