List of battles fought during Ramadan by Muslims

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Dubious intersection of topics leading to an implicit WP:COATRACK conclusion. WP:POVFORK of List of wars in the Muslim world. Article was originally cribbed from this source though copyvio is difficult to argue at this stage. Article could be improved if scope and title were changed but in present state seems only designed to prove a point. Dhartung | Talk 11:56, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Although the title may seem at first blush to be really narrow, and the author would do well by adding a note of explanation about the significance, this would be similar to something like "List of battles fought during Christmas by Christians" (Valley Forge, Christmas bombing of Vietnam, etc). Many of us non-Muslims know that Ramadan is a month of all-day fasting and other religious observances.  Thus, I don't see this as part of a series of articles.

 * Weakish keep. As it currently stands, it's a pretty sorry-looking thing, but it might be possible to improve this to a more functional article. The fact that a battle took place during Ramadan is, to the best of my memory, a significant thing, since there's slightly more than just a fast required during that month - so this article should contain that information. As it currently stands, though, the definition of "battle" is a bit shaky, since we have actual battles (such as Badr), full-scale wars which have lasted for several years (Iraq, Yemen), terrorist strikes (USS Cole) and a sort of hand-waving at the Algerian Civil War.

 * Delete, clear POV pushing. Besides, there are no rules in love and war. SolidPlaid 08:13, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
