[edit] Islam and alcohol

Islam and alcohol (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Deletion was suggested by User:Matt57 on my talk page, who started Islam and pork. This article is similar in that it has little to no real content and also has a POV statement about Muslim youth drinking to seem more "western" (it goes without saying that there have always been Muslims who drink alcohol since the beginning of the religion, since every society of earth has had alcohol since the dawn of time). Whatever. Simply an unnecessary article considering Islamic dietary laws. Khorshid 09:03, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Merge to Islamic dietary laws per nom. Not enough information to sustain a separate article, plus unsourced armchair-sociology. A bad mix. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 09:47, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge as above, doesn't require a separate article. Sfacets 11:11, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge for now and get rid of unsourced speculation. It would be possible to write a full-length article on this subject, but at the moment there is not enough material here to make one. --Folantin 11:48, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge any useful content to wherever is correct - per everyone else. Despite finding the last couple sentences laugh-out-loud hilarious, one does have to say this just a redundant POV fork. Moreschi Request a recording? 12:32, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge as above, into the dietry laws.--Matt57 13:19, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge per above, there only seems to be one or two sentences of worth. ITAQALLAH 13:34, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Islam-related deletions. ITAQALLAH 13:34, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge per others--Sa.vakilian(t-c) 14:30, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge (or Expand, per Folantin's point). Jakerforever 17:01, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment I think it's interesting that we have an article on Religious restrictions on the consumption of pork, but none on Religious restrictions on the consumption of alcohol. Crotalus horridus (TALK • CONTRIBS) 18:51, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand. Very interesting and complex subject that deserves its own article without a doubt. David Spart (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log) 21:51, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge per above.--Sefringle 02:06, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete What exactly is there to merge?--Ķĩřβȳ♥♥♥ŤįɱéØ 23:33, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Tell me about it. Merging of Islam and pork is also pointless since there is nothing there to merge! Khorshid 00:19, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
