Scientific Explanation for the Event of Miraj

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)
 * (nearly the same content)

This article appears to be presenting some original research on the part of the author (Hafiz Owais-ur-rehman Khan) on an attempt to unify Islamic tradition with modern science. Note that we already have a perfectly good article on the legend of Isra and Mi'raj, so nothing's being lost. Zetawoof(&zeta;) 11:42, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, I think it's what you call a point of view fork, where someoen creates a related article to emphasise on one point of view.--Jaeger123 (talk) 14:40, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong delete, original research. Note that the text of the article closely mirrors this blog post, both of which presume to be written by the same person. (I'm comfortable enough that it's the same author that, rather than deleting as copyvio, I'm deeming the blog post to have been licensed into the GFDL by its posting on Wikipedia.) —C.Fred (talk) 14:49, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Complete OR, per above. //   Chris  (complaints) • (contribs) 15:58, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Would we keep an article about a "scientific explanation" for loaves and fishes? Perhaps, if someone were to have published sources for it.  However, I agree that this is original research that started with a website, and whose author continues to enjoy the anonymity of Wikipedia (and I hope and pray that the screen name isn't anyone's real name).  If you want to compare the "Miraj" to a "mirage", do it at your own risk. Mandsford (talk) 16:02, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete for all of the excellent reasons given above. Qworty (talk) 01:54, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
