This is a collection of discussions on the deletion 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 WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. 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:delsort|Islam|~~~~}} 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.

This is a compilation of wars that are mostly unrelated other than that they were waged by Muslim rulers/states. There is no one "Muslim conquest of Mediterranean islands". It neither describes anything that is unique to itself nor properly covers a broader history that reoccurs among sources as a common theme. This article pretty much synthesizes some sort of a narrative and pushes a vague grouping of events. Aintabli (talk) 00:23, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. The topic of the article seems too broad and without a well-defined scope. It's a collection of various, many of them unrelated, wars waged by various muslim rulers all over the Mediterranean throughout the centuries. Modern scholarship doesn't really treat all these events in a unified manner. @Cplakidas explained it more thoroughly in the talkpage discussion "Article scope is utter WP:OR". Another issue that was pointed out by an editor is the fact that the content might potentially be one-sided, as the article was translated from the Arab wikipedia and uses mostly Arab-language, and many of poor quality, sources. Piccco (talk) 11:07, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I tagged the article for all the reasons mentioned in the talk page, but there definitely are more problems in terms of source adequateness and verifiability, as well as balance of viewpoints presented. To be clear, the topic, if carefully redefined, has merit. E.g. something on the 'Early Muslim naval campaigns in the Mediterranean', if we consider the early Muslim world as fairly homogeneous during the first centuries of its existence, or the Muslim-Christian naval wars along the lines of Ekkehard Eickhoff's Seekrieg und Seepolitik zwischen Islam und Abendland or the multifaceted Muslim experience of the Mediterranean as in Picard's La Mer des Califes, but it cannot be a catch-all for cherry-picked Muslim naval activity that happened between Muhammad and the Ottomans; it should also not be one-sided, taking only the perspective of the Muslims, or treat only the 'conquests' in detail and gloss over the losses in quick order. Furthermore, much if not all of the topic is actually covered in other articles such as Early Caliphate navy (which also has its problems, but at least has a more clearly defined scope) or Fatimid navy. A pity for the immense translation effort that went into it, but IMO this is a case of WP:STARTOVER. Constantine ✍ 15:38, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep this is an informative and well sourced article documenting an established and recognised occurrence in history. I don't see how it's original research to group together events that historians themselves typically group together. Flyingfishee (talk) 17:03, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The events are factual, but the choice of scope is very much WP:OR as being both too broad geographically and chronologically and too narrow in examining the Muslim conquests only, even if they are centuries apart, but not their context, not the intervening events, etc. It is as WP:OR and unbalanced as having an article on 'Indian victories' with events from remote antiquity to modern times. No historian adopts such a categorization or groups these events together in this uncritical fashion. Constantine ✍ 18:52, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Cplakidas' analysis. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 14:49, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify. The article has all the problems mentioned, although I'm not sure they are quite as bad as implied. The rationale for deletion, however, is weak. Deletion is not an end-around when you don't have the time or wherewithal to improve an article yourself. This is a borderline TNT case to me. The dates in the infobox are not far off the dates of the already cited Seekrieg und Seepolitik zwischen Islam und Abendland. Islands are a focus of recent scholarship Change and Resilience: The Occupation of Mediterranean Islands in Late Antiquity and the works of Luca Zavagno. There is a valid topic here, but the article is terribly unfocused. I'd be satisifed with moving it to draftspace to see if anyone can/wants to fix it before TNTing it.

An article with no encyclopedic value and for PR purposes only. Redivy (talk) 15:51, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
