[edit] Notability?
I've added a notability tag because there seems to have been no media coverage of this event. The article needs to demonstrate why this event is notable. Jayran 20:17, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
- There was plenty of coverage .--CltFn 03:22, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

- a)Google news only return links to recent events. b) You must have missed the CNN coverage. The declaration is a key aspect of the summit --CltFn 04:32, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

- No, those are Google archives, which do go back several years at least. The hits on it, which are cursory are from before the summit. Also, here is the Washington Post archives from 1987 to two weeks ago. [[2]] Jayran 04:40, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
- Also, CNN has no hits on that pertain to this story, unless the Pope being in Turkey is actually this summit. [3] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jayran (talk • contribs) 04:42, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

- First off, youtube is by no means a rs or a sign of notability. Second, the Washington Post own archives - which I have included above show no record of any article pertaining to this summit under this name. Newsweek has no article on this but rather a blog hosted on their site - and like youtube, that isn't a reliable source. Also, posting the entirety of the declaration is a copyvio.

- The video on Youtube is the the CNN broadcast that covered the secular Islam summit. I have also added 3 more mainstream media links from the Wall Street Journal , US News and World Report and Toronto Sun--CltFn 12:08, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Isn't "secular Islam" a contradiction in itself? After all, Islam means submission. Some of the delegates explicitly refuse to identify as Muslims. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.162.58.248 (talk) 11:38, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
