The 100 A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is not an encyclopedic article. Fbdave (talk) 01:51, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - I was actually in the process of placing a PROD on this heap of flaming WP:OR at the same time as the nominator did so. Article has no useful content and is pure sectarian screed, with a sprinkling of anti-Semitism on top (see the "Jewish author" section). It also appears to have been previously deleted through the AfD process, and should be deleted as such.PohranicniStraze (talk) 02:04, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Should I place nominate the page for speedy deletion? Fbdave (talk) 02:24, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure. An article by the same name seems to have been created by the same user, so if it was substantially identical it would be eligible for speedy deletion under G4 (recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion). But I'm not an admin, so I can't see the old version to know if it was identical or not. Might be better to just let the AfD run its course.PohranicniStraze (talk) 02:30, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

 * So, plagiarism? I looked at the wikiislam site and it doesn't appear to be affiliated with wikipedia.PohranicniStraze (talk) 15:34, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as a copyright violation from http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Muhammad_and_Historys_100_Most_Influential_People. Wikiislam's Creative Commons license isn't compatible with Wikipedia's and we can't use material taken directly from that site. (Specifically, Wikiislam uses a BY-NC -- attribution & noncommercial use -- license, and we can't use material with a noncommercial use license.) The article that was deleted in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History was actually much better than this version, as it was not devoted to an anti-Islam polemic nor did it include strands of antisemitism. (If for some reason this article is not deemed to be a copyvio, delete as completely non-neutral.) After the speedy deletion, redirect to the author of the book, Michael H. Hart. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:02, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
