Islam in the Falkland Islands

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I'm assuming this was created because the standard template gives a redlink for every spot on earth. I do not think that this is a notable topic; it says less than 0.1% of the population practices Islam. My guess would be it's actually less than 0.01%. There shouldn't be a separate article on every political entity just because one Muslim family happens to reside there. This makes about as much sense as Navajos in Germany or Navajos in South Korea which I could easily pull out of my rear due to the U.S. military presence there.

 * Delete - population of the Falkland Islands is 3,140, according to the CIA - . Therefore there are about 3 Muslims living in the Falkland Islands... --Anthem of joy (talk) 11:20, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. If it were called Rockhopper Penguins on the Falkland Islands I would go for it. But this article is pointless, unjustifiable, and unreferenceable.  Nipson anomhmata   (Talk) 17:37, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep if one of the purposes of WP is to be a statistical atlas. The information that there are so few Muslims in the Falkland Islands is useful information, even if not very surprising. BTW please check out Islam in Cuba. Quite interesting (even shocking), and not talked about much.Kitfoxxe (talk) 19:44, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
 * None of Wikipedia's (many) purposes is "to be a statistical atlas". Where on earth did you get the idea that it was? – iridescent  21:08, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The large number of articles on small towns, airports, bus routes, etc. gave me the impression.Kitfoxxe (talk) 15:30, 16 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete No significant content or evidence of notability. Colonel Warden (talk) 19:57, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. --ddima/talk 21:30, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge I would suggest that this information be merged into the religion section of the Falkland Islanders article. This article could then be deleted or redirected. Mrmatiko (talk) 17:27, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Merge to Falkland Islanders per Gene93k.  If the Muslim population was a significant part of the Falkand's community, then an article would make sense.  But 3 people?  We don't need an article for every single tiny stat.--Oakshade (talk) 19:26, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge to Falkland Islanders. There is nothing unreasonable about having a redirect with this title. —  C M B J   04:22, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Doesn't even warrant a merge. Tijfo098 (talk) 08:27, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. If there is statistical data regarding the religious makeup of the Falkland Islands, it needs to be added to the Falkland Islands. With a small population, such as this one, it should be trivial to add a section to that article. This might, might, be worth a redirect if that ends up happening, but only because this title is linked from templates elsewhere. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 14:50, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, you're right Mrmatiko - Falkland Islanders is the correct target. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 14:52, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
