List of Islamic swords

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

This list offers nothing over the associated categories. There is no sorting or contextual information, and I do not see any that would be particularly applicable. Mintrick (talk) 03:51, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete: It's a misapplied list on the face of it; there is nothing about any of these swords that is "Islamic," and some - the tulwar and the kilij, for example - predate Muslim influence in the associated cultures.   RGTraynor  06:05, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, what do Islam and sword designs have to do with each other? The fact that Muslims were the primary users of certain swords is irrelevant to the swords themselves.  Nyttend (talk) 16:30, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete with caveat - Islam and swords don't seem to have anything to do with each other but if the article was changed to 'swords mentioned in the Qur'an' or something similar that could be worth keeping. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 19:15, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable. Borderline OR. Note: The term "islamic swords" is actually two words (Islamic and swords) and not an article on WP. Sole reference listed is a site that sells replicas (and will be removed momentarily under WP:EL). Niteshift36 (talk) 05:31, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
