Strong delete: Wikipedia should not group people on the basis of their religions. India already has its fair share of communal conflicts. No need to increase "separatism". I dont understand why an encyclopaedia needs such a list, and why it remained there for such a long time. —usernamekiran(talk) 11:14, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: If some wikilawyer votes for "keep", instead of pointing out why it should not be deleted, kindly point out why it deserves a place in an encyclopaedia. —usernamekiran(talk) 11:19, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

And this article (up for deletion) is along the exact same lines: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Muslim sportspeople. Ajf773 (talk) 19:33, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:LISTCRUFT. Not a notable list, containing only people who are Muslim, male, Indian and prominent in some aspect of business. Also, only one of the articles for the people in the list contains any referenced indication that the person actually is Muslim, the others merely state that one or both their parents are/were. We shouldn't assume that people follow the faith of their parents - if we're highlighting faith in this way surely there should be a reference to back it up?

Delete - I see no reason why this list of "X Y in Z" is encyclopedic. Smmurphy^(Talk) 17:58, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
