[edit] Islam in Greenland

So there is possibly one Muslim in Greenland (unconfirmed). Wouldn't this material be better covered in an article about religion in Greenland? Greenland has 70,000 people which is barely equivalent to a small city in most countries. MacRusgail 17:57, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't see a problem with this entry. It could be merged with Religion in Greenland, but I think it is fine on its own. Other countries and pseduo-countries have articles on Islam see Islam in Barbados, Islam in Seychelles or Islam in New Caledonia.

• Delete there's no point in having an article just to report that something is virtually inexistent. It's like Singaporeans in Liechtenstein.--Húsönd 18:42, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - not statistically significant enough to warrant an article, and there probably isn't enough research material available to base an article upon either. --Elkman - (Elkspeak) 18:48, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - That said someone should create a religion subsection in Culture of Greenland or perhaps even a Religion in Greenland article as it could be of interest. They were the first part of North America to have Christians, the Viking Greenland colony was largely Christian before dissolution, and Inuit beliefs could be of interest. Islam would be a very minor part of such an article, at best.--T. Anthony 19:04, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Greenland is not a country, like Barbados, Seychelles, or New Caledonia ... it's part of Denmark, like Alaska and Hawaii are part of the United States. --72.75.117.73 21:59, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Umm you are aware that New Caledonia is not an independent nation and that Greenland has more autonomy than Hawaii. I voted delete here, but let's try to use valid justifications.--T. Anthony 23:00, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment England, Scotland, Wales are not countries either. They have statistics articles. 132.205.44.134 00:11, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment, England Scotland and Wales are all proper countries and refer to themselves as such. As is Greenland. But they are not sovereign states, which is I think the term that you folk are looking for. Don't confuse "state" with "country". --MacRusgail 15:09, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
