List of muslim athletics

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

Lacks capitalization, of course, but that could be fixed with a page move. I'm nominating this for deletion because I believe this sort of information is better organized with a category - that is, if the intersection is considered relevant at all. Picaroon (t) 02:58, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete should be List of Muslim athletes but better as a category; this could be a very long list. JJL (talk) 04:13, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I actually went ahead and struck that, because "athletes" refers to practitioners of the sport athletics (track and field), not sportspeople in general. Sportspeople in general are called - well, sportspeople. Punkmorten (talk) 07:55, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Please don't edit my comments to reflect your absurd POV. JJL (talk) 22:25, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, useless, should be category. Punkmorten (talk) 07:55, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep No reason not to have a list and a category. The list, as usual, offers greater possibilities--for adding sports, dates, nationalities. Not much developed yet,  but keep and improveDGG (talk) 03:48, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Save it to your hard drive and work on the improvements if you think it's got great potential. However, this is a category at best, and not a very good category at that.  As with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, there are lots of athletes and lots of adherents to a major religion, and this is the intersection.  Given that one's religious beliefs have no direct effect on their athleticism, this is a list of athletes who happen to believe the Muslim faith.  Mandsford (talk) 16:13, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Probably Delete Fellowship of Christian Athletes is an organisation, as is Christians in Sport. The value of a list - and probably the only value - is that it can have red links for articles that are needed, but there are few red links here.  Categories are much more useful.  However, this list could contain almiost every athlete from north Africa, the Middle East, pakistan and Indonesia (to name a few).  If anything is retained, it should be split into separate lists by sport;the main list shoudl be converted into a list of these lists, which should then be categorised.
