• Keep. Wikipedia:Websites is just a proposal. Alexa score is very high for being a Shia site, Shias being a minority group. Al Islam is one of the most prominent Shia sites, if not the most prominent. please see nominator contribution list [2] --Striver 22:40, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

note: "Other sites that link to this site: 336" --Striver 23:21, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

What has my contribution list got to do with it? I saw a load of "articles" written by one person that were no more than an internet directory. --Bob 23:26, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

I see it strange that a editor does nothing more than talk and delet... --Striver 23:49, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

i publicly apologise for accusing Bob of being a suckpupet, i misstok his contribution list [3] and i am also involved in a conflict with some other users. Sorry! --Striver 00:05, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep The article offers it's readers some good genuine information, and it seems to be noteable. -- Karl Meier 20:19, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Not notable and will never be notable. Zora 05:49, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Two bob each way, one of whom is the article's creator. Extending due to low participation. - brenneman^(t)(c) 04:32, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep This article's afflicted with a severe case of stubness, but I'm going to say that being the top site in Yahoo's list of Shia sites by popularity, coupled with the Alexa ranking (which, incidentally, I think should not be in the article) demonstrate the site is keepworthy. However, it needs expansion, and given that it's an Islam site, I'm going to go ahead and stick it on WP:CSBOT. The Literate Engineer 07:45, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

The biges Shia online site does not deserve its own article, but this does?
