Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Islam

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion and merging of articles related to Islam. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion and neither does removing an AfD from this page remove it from the main page at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:deletion sorting|Islam|sig=~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Islam. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

  Sorry its Religion in Tonga Weichan123 (talk) 06:15, 28 September 2026 (UTC)

• Comment: Correction, its Religion in Tonga
• Keep You edited Religion in Tuvalu to add the information about Islam in Tonga and it is still there even though you realized these are different countries after someone pointed it out. There is enough information to deserve its own article. Sodicadl (talk) 03:26, 29 September 2026 (UTC)

  Yes, that was a mistake from my part. I have corrected it now. Weichan123 (talk) 06:39, 29 September 2026 (UTC)

• Keep per user talk:Sodicadl It would be nice if that article was a little more substantive but seems notable. AadamentAardvark (talk) 03:26, 30 September 2026 (UTC)

The article has several concerns regarding source independence WP:RS / WP:IS, potential WP:COI, and WP:LLM-assisted editing.

Most sources appear closely connected to the subject or his teachings, with limited independent coverage to support WP:GNG. Additionally, I suggest reviewing the article history carefully. AriuCH (talk) 01:48, 25 September 2026 (UTC)

• Delete; it fails WP:NPOL having sponsored a few candidates in legislative elections and won no seat with its 0.0... votes performances in all the elections it contested in its lifetime. AmbreDoo (talk) 18:13, 2 October 2026 (UTC)

Fails WP:GNG. The article also has 2 sources and the first one doesn't mention anything about religion, it says about South Asian migrants in the country. Also I have covered information on Islam in Lesotho in Religion in Lesotho#Minority Religions Weichan123 (talk) 09:26, 20 September 2026 (UTC)

I propose merging to Religion in Samoa because. The article is very small and its contents are already mentioned in the Religion in Samoa page. WP:MERGE. Weichan123 (talk) 08:17, 13 September 2026 (UTC)

Oppose merge Am sympathetic to a merge in principle, but the Religion article is very short and wouldn't have a place for the contents of the Islam page without being WP:UNDUE. Dizzycheekchewer (talk) 05:35, 16 September 2026 (UTC)

Merge We don't really need a page for a religion that takes up less than 7.7% of the country's population and does not have an explicit entry on the census. And with Dizzycheekchewer, we can just expand it. Simple. An editor from Mars (talk) 09:03, 20 September 2026 (UTC)
