Twelvers[change]
Eptalon (talk) has nominated this page for deletion for the reason:
- Currently this page consists of a listing of people, marked with stub. Myself, I think that the article has potential for expansion, the English Wikipedia article is over 40k in size, and we need to start somewhere. Article was created by an IP, and given we do have kind of a weak spot on articles related to Islam, I think we should Assume good Faith and not scare them away.
Please discuss this deletion below, but keep in mind that you shouldn't vote on everything and that there may be options that are not just "keep" or "delete", such as merging.
Discussion[change]
- File:Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose - The subject has potential. We also should not scare people away just because they finally create those subjects most of us know little about. Just because most of the editors here are Christians does not mean we should prevent articles about other religions from being made.--Eptalon (talk) 10:17, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
- I'm not sure there was an pro-Christian/anti-Islam agenda here Eptalon, just an editor not necessarily accustomed to our processes, stubs etc... The Rambling Man (talk) 20:34, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
- In my understanding most people who edit here are either from Europe, or from the United States/Canada; While these people may not be Christians themselves, they will likely be influenced by Christian values. Southern Continental Europe: Catholicism, Eastern Europe: Eastern Orthodox, Northern Europe/GB/US: Protestantism. This also explains why we have so much trouble writing articles about other Religions...--Eptalon (talk) 09:18, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
- I'm not disputing that Eptalon, it was just that the way you phrased your comment sounded like you made an assumption of an agenda on behalf of the nominator, which I just thought was a little unfair on a brand new editor. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:22, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

- Delete - I nominated it for QD as I thought it is a small article, only a list of people (not linked) and it does not aptly describe who those people are. NotGiven 10:20, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
