Native Americans and Islam

 * — (View AfD)

Almost entirely original research, of the crackpot variety. The small part that's not, the section on African-Americans, belongs in a different article. Ptcamn 22:34, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom. And move the small worthwhile parts to their own article. --Miskwito 22:52, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete nearly all unsourced, unreferenced WP:OR. And obvious nonsense as well.--Anthony.bradbury 23:16, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Speedy delete as a recreation of a deleted article might apply, as I'm sure I read this article before under a different title (maybe Articles for deletion/Islamic place names in America?) Agent 86 00:06, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Clearly crackpot research, as for some of the sections on African-Americans, that can be salvaged and moved. Abstrakt 05:05, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * comment: no speedy deletion doesn't apply unfortunately - USER:7day created four or five articles about the same subjectat once - click the different links and you'll find them.Maunus 06:12, 16 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete I believe that a decentarticle could be made about the subject - but since the article at hand contains nothing that would be useful in the creation of such an article I'd prefer deletion so that the public at leastisn't misled untill someone tries to do it right.

 * Delete, next we will have flying saucers and Islam... Alf photoman 15:24, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * keep I see sources and further reading, this is not OR. Maybe a minority view, but hey, this is wikipedia, remember? --Striver 16:27, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge with Mormonism in Islam. &mdash; coe l acan t a lk  &mdash; 17:03, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge with what? --Striver 18:13, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Oops! I meant merge with Mormon historical revisionism in modern Islam, of course. &mdash; coe l acan t a lk  &mdash; 20:51, 16 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete: per Maunus, there is perhaps an appropriate topic for coverage struggling to get out, but the present article is being subsumed by plenty of highly dubious material. There is already a pre-Columbian Islamic contact theories article to deal with the speculations claiming early contacts between Muslims and indigenous American peoples, one such article is enough. The only way for this Native Americans and Islam article to remain a viable prospect would be if someone were to completely rewrite and address the genuine, modern-day experiences of Native American peoples with Islam- but unless or until this is done there's no justification to have it remain in its present highly misleading form.--cjllw | TALK  22:51, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
