Muhammad's views on slavery

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The material most relevant to the topic is sourced almost entirely with primary sources, most of which are hadith based, which are themselves not considered reliable. A look at the Talk Page of the article shows that the situation is basically hopelessly incoherent. What's even worse (and most concerning) is that attempts have been made to use this ill-sourced article to support addition of badly sourced content on good articles like Muhammad recently. It's as if this article has become a virus that is trying to infect healthy hosts. c Ө de1+6 TP  03:41, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. The part that is somewhat reliably sourced with secondary sources is a WP:COATRACK about the much more encyclopedically written Islamic views on slavery. Everything else looks like original research based on primary sources (i.e. ḥadīth: traditions, sayings and stories attributed to Muhammad). - HyperGaruda (talk) 11:04, 30 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete. WP:TNT per WP:PRIMARY and WP:QUOTEFARM. There's almost nothing there sourced from up-to-date RSs. The title itself is problematic, because historians don't generally write about "Muhammad's view" on the subject. They make generalizations about the hadith, usually without getting into historicity of specific reports. Eperoton (talk) 13:45, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
