[edit] Mere Muslim

Mere Muslim (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Subject does not appear to meet the requirements of WP:BIO. Notability not asserted. Articles circulating the net do not qualify for notability. Allegedly mentioned in "Sexual Ethics & Islam: Feminist Reflections on Qur'an, Hadith, and Jurisprudence. Oxford, UK: Oneworld, pp. 146, 191, 192" possible minor discussion (unknown, though only three page references). If notability cannot be asserted the article should be deleted MidgleyDJ 23:18, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Again, the subject of the article is more notable than the subject of the Wikipedia entry for John Gilchrist. Both are polemicists and the subject of controversy.--Mere dhimmi 23:27, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. The references in the article are largely self-referential. Not seeing it here. Might I suggest referencing WP:N and WP:BIO for what is requrired? --Dennisthe2 00:34, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Not notable, written without any references. Looks like propoganda article used to improve hits on some freaky website. I being a Muslim has never heard this term because either you are Muslim or not-Muslim... --- ALM 15:16, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as not notable and NPOV.Montco 15:53, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, notability has not been established. ITAQALLAH 18:20, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Just another web pundit trying to make a name for himself; what makes him notable ? Nothing in the article says. WMMartin 19:03, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. If you took a look at the history, it's obvious that this entry was originally submitted by a detractor and critic of the person in question, not himself. Mere Muslim is a well-known figure and writer on Muslim apologetic websites, winner of several awards for his weblog, and I have updated the article to show that. ALM missed the point, since his pen name Mere Muslim relates to the name of his Mere Islam weblog, which is an Islamic twist of C.S. Lewis' book Mere Christianity.
