After an AfD less than two weeks ago, it was decided that something needed to be done about the Muslim lists. List of Muslims on February 24 took over as, essentially, the table of contents for those lists. This article, as well as the ones that follow, have been excluded from the re-organization as they all have been replaced with or merged into different articles. They, thus, should be offered for deletion (see List of Muslims/Proposed Organization A for more). joturner 22:26, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Muslim businessmen (replaced by List of Muslim businesspeople)
• Muslim leaders (replaced by List of Muslim military leaders, List of Muslim politicians, etc)
• Muslim professions (replaced by List of Muslims)
• Muslim scientists (replaced by List of Muslim scientists)

• Delete as nominator. joturner 22:29, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I can be swayed to Merge or Redirect on some of them if someone brings the idea up. joturner 22:38, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge the list is very small and can be easily held in another list. Jedi6 23:03, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete List of Muslim Islamic jurists to Ulema because the title is incorrect and claims to be a subpage of a redirected page - Muslim Islamic jurists which points to Ulema anyway. Correct title should have been List of Islamic jurists, perhaps User:Striver overdid the Islamicness a bit there.

Merge and Redirect Muslim businessmen and Muslim scientists to the replacement articles.

Delete Muslim leaders because it is a frivolous combination of notable people, but for the record Saddam Hussain was a secular dictator, Benazir Bhutto leads a secular-based socialist party and Osama bin Laden has never held elected or unelected office (except in his own grouping). The only two who could realistically be described as leaders would be Khomeini and Husayn ibn Ali.

Keep and expand Muslim professions to include professions specific to Islam - Ulema/Imam, Qadi/Jurisconsult, Caliph, Emir, Muezzin etc but not Sufis because it's the title of a follower of a particular style of Islam - otherwise would need to list Shia and Sunni as professions too. Also remove Sahaba because these were Companions of the Prophet Muhammad and not an actual profession and List of Muslim Dynasties as it is completely inappropriate.

I never thought about that approach for Muslim professions; that may be a good idea. joturner 03:55, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete & merge anything unique to a list created as proposed by Green Giant; if kept, the title needs changing as most people would assume that Islamic jurists would be Muslim having the double title is redundant like List of Jewish Rabbis Carlossuarez46 22:09, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
