Languages of Muslim countries

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The article is well-intentioned, but it appears to be a randomly assembled hodgepodge list of blatantly obvious observations (they speak Turkish in Turkey, French in France, etc.) Ecoleetage (talk) 00:34, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm, it's a tough one for sure. I would say it could (with a chance) be salvageable, but unless no one wants to clean it up...Delete. RockManQ  (talk) 01:23, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete it is well-intentioned but this could easily be Languages of countries because there appears to be no definition of what makes a Muslim country, etc. Also do, for example, no Muslim people in America speak Arabic? I don't think so. TravellingCari  02:36, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep I think that this could be improved with some census data, which would be a primary source for the information about languages. I agree that a lot of this is blantantly obvious, but this article is not beyond cleanup.  Mandsford (talk) 20:01, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as a plainly impossible-to-define topic: as Cari notes, how do we know what a Muslim country is? If this were specifically about countries where Muslims are the majority, or where Islam is the state religion, or with other similar criteria, but "Muslim" by itself is too broad.

 * Keep It is not beyond cleanup, not all of it is obvious.--Res2216firestar 21:07, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, unless wikipedia has an article Muslim countries a list of the sort x of Muslim countries should not be included in the encyclopedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RegentsPark (talk • contribs)
 * Delete--even if this is cleaned up, there's still no point to it. Right--what IS a Muslim country? Even with Nyttend's specifications this remains pointless: the languages spoken in a country are the languages that are spoken in that country, irregardless of anyone's religion.

 * Keep or merge into a Languages of Muslims article 70.51.10.188 (talk) 04:14, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Ummm. no.  Languages in mulsim countries = languages.  Farsi, arabic, french, english, turkish, Indonesian, Languages of China...the list goes on. Protonk (talk) 18:19, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
