Muhammad: The Messenger of God (book)

 * Delete, the article is created by User:Striver and is about a book. The article does not establish the books notablity and unless its notablity is established I vote for it to be deleted. Jersey Devil 13:39, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep The book is easly read by more than 5 000, and it is often quoted in Shi'a-Sunni arguements and also in books such as Restatement of History of Islam. The writer is also notable.--Striver 14:14, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, cleanup, and expand. A Google search yields over 10,000 hits and there's 29 used copies of this book for sale on Amazon. Seems notable enough for wikipedia. --BWD(talk) 15:18, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Note, however, that there are only 188 ghits for +"Betty Kelen" +"Muhammad: The Messenger of God" . "Muhammad the messenger of god" is a very common phrase, and is a title that is not limited to Kelen's book. Esquizombi 20:54, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per BWD. Bayberrylane 16:26, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, non-trivial book by notable author. Monicasdude 16:40, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep notable book. Stop nominating every article that Striver makes without checking it first. -- a.n.o.n.y.m  t 17:48, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - In need of expansion, but clear keep. --Irishpunktom\talk 17:52, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Doesn't seem difficult to establish notability!   Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk  18:02, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

So, what do i do if i want to "file a charge" of being stalked? I have never done that, could anyone help. What do i need to prove? --Striver 18:17, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Betty Kelen. If there were actual content, I would vote merge, but there is not. Esquizombi 19:21, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I note that there is at least one precedent for merging a book stub into its author's stub (or deleting the book stub while leaving the author stub, or redirecting the book stub to the author's article) Articles for deletion/Thomas McElwain, and I think that is appropriate here.

 * Keep And enough with nominating Striver's articles. Even if they're non-notable, you up and mentioned him in the nomination like him writing an article is a criteria for deletion. This is starting to get goofy. — Adrian~enwiki (talk) 20:26, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect. There's nothing there, and nothing that can't be dealt with in her article. ProhibitOnions 21:53, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep And second Adrian's comments. Jersey Devil, you are in the neighborhood of wikistalking Striver with this series of AfD's.  Georgewilliamherbert 02:54, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable enough to justify a stub. Now someone please be bold and expand the darn thing. 23skidoo 04:27, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per all --Khoikhoi 08:34, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Betty Kelen as per Schizombie. 118 hits for author + title is very damning. --Mmx1 16:06, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
