Introduction to Islam Bibliography
This is a list of published works on Islam, and self-professes "to compile a comprehensive list of introductory books on Islam written in English anywhere in the world". It does not fill any normal definiton of an encylcopedia article, it's not even properly a list by the Wikipedia definition i.e. it does not contain information, merely data. None of the books or authors on the list (bar one or two) are demonstrated to satisfy the relevant notability guidelines. In short, this is a pure data-dump, not knowledge.

- Delete It is just a (very long) reading list and not an encyclopaedia entry - never could be. Although it could be useful for scholars to have such a list, this is not the place for it. Any articles on Islam and related topics ought to carry appropriate and relevant references in any case. Emeraude 16:35, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
