 | Per Wikipedia policy on Biographies of Living Persons (WP:BLP)... "Wikipedia articles can affect real people's lives. This gives us an ethical and legal responsibility." Do not list a person as having converted from a particular religion (example: Islam) unless there are references in their article to their former religious affiliation with citation backing it up. (merely growing up in a Muslim family does not count.) |
WIKIPEDIA POLICY: DO NO HARM (WP:HARM) edit
I am not muslim and never have been, but given that in some parts of the world deconverting from Islam can be grounds for execution.......... why do we have a category like this one and the Christian converts from Islam category?????
(note: objection is not about dead persons in list, but living persons)
See:
- Apostasy in Islam#Punishment for apostasy
- WP:HARM Wikipedia policy of do-no-harm in regards to biographies of living persons.

I understand your concern about the collection of this data. Wikipedia has a policy of no censorship, but there is also the policy about living people. Have you checked any of the individual articles to make sure that the data is very well referenced? That might be the most effective means of addressing this issue. --AnnaFrance (talk) 03:06, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
will do........ am fact-checking the people listed who are living, and am only in the A's and have removed 2 so far for lack of anything backing it up. removing RFC tag. thanks -- caveman80(my 2 cents) 04:23, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
- Terrific. That's great that you're helping to police WP:BLP. It's important work. --AnnaFrance (talk) 05:00, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Is it possible for me to delete someone from the list? I found Naguib Mahfouz name on this list, he is an egyptian writer, a Nobel prize winner and he never converted from Islam to Christianity. Why would someone add false information about him??? He died a muslim and had a very big funeral in one of the biggest mosques in Cairo. How can I delete his name? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shansha (talk • contribs) 11:00, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Searching in this category is very difficult, it would be better if divided by nationality. I will do it. --نسر برلين (talk) 06:24, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
