List of Muslims by date of birth

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This list is just too vague. We are talking about 1 billion + Muslim people in history. Not to forget, WP:NOT. What could be acceptable, would be perhapes a list of important Muslim religious scholars or something like that but to list people just by religion is too indiscriminate.

 * Delete - a chronological list of people by any faith is ridiculous. Otto4711 18:23, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete: WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of information. Leuko 19:22, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, even implying the word "notable" it serves no purpose. Carlossuarez46 21:25, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as indiscriminate list of info and as a directory. Useight 22:22, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Sorry, Delete. This is a weak list to begin with.  I can't believe that Sadat, Khomeini, Omar Khayyam, Saddam Hussein, etc. aren't on here.  It does meet the Wikipedia standards for silliness by including squash players and comedians in there with historical figures, but it's not well researched.  If you're serious about something like this, you would look at the lists of people born in each year, pick out the notable Muslims, list their A.D. birthdates (1979, 1980, 1981) along with their Moslem birthdates (in A.H. 1399, 1400, 1401).  How many folks born on the 10th of Ramadan?  But anyway, do we need a list of Moslems by birthdate, any more than we need a list of Christians, Jews, Buddhists, etc...?  Not a very well done list.

 * Delete - not appropriate for Wikipedia. We are getting too many ethnicity lists - there really should only be a handful. Cedars 05:48, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
