[edit] Muslims in Space

Delete - seems like an issue that is only speculation and not notable at this point in time. Unless this turns into a big media issue at some later time, this article would most likely consist of original research and hypothetical questions. At most, this subject gets a line or two in another article. Wickethewok 23:08, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Keep The issue reached Reuters [1] that make it big enough to have an article. I'd write more about it but I'm hoping a Muslim wikipedian will know more about this topic than me. grazon 23:11, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

• Comment - I think a subject needs more than one media article to be considered notable. Wickethewok 23:20, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

• weak keep (possibly with a better title), or failing that merge as suggested on the page. It's a very commonly pondered question, and an issue has come up before, as there have been Moslems in space before (a Saudi prince in 1985, for instance). The following may shed more light: [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8] ... Grutness...wha? 00:55, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete there's really not anything here. What this article says, in short, is: there are some Muslims training to go into space, and if and when they do, they will find it hard to figure out which direction Mecca is in. I really don't see that this article could ever contain much of interest --Deville (Talk) 02:54, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to Salat —porges_(talk) 03:08, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - There is also ongoing discussion about Scientologists sending pregnant women to space. As we well know, in space, nobody can hear you scream. Which would make space the perfect birthing spot for little Scientologists. -- Миборовский ^{U|T|C|M|E|Chugoku Banzai!} 05:22, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete speculation and lack of content --Ajdz 06:03, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

• An interesting topic, but not of itself enough to be a whole article: merge any verifiable content into Salat, then delete the remaining silly named redirect. -- Karada 09:50, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. A note about this topic could be placed in Salat. — TheKMan^talk 23:41, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
