  • Delete no evidence of notability. JJL (talk) 03:59, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. What is more, smells of pork and so tagged for speedy deletion. Ohconfucius (talk) 04:03, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment. Don't you realise how offensive that comment would be to any Muslims involved with this organisation? Phil Bridger (talk) 19:22, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment So since when is it offensive to speak about pork front of muslims, then?
  • Comment. If you were simply speaking about pork it wouldn't be offensive, but saying that an Islamic insitution smells of pork certainly is. Phil Bridger (talk) 08:35, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment Well, it was unwitting, and I apologise. I quite often use that phrase when I am commenting about spam. Ohconfucius (talk) 03:59, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Revision to Weak delete. Appears to be an Egyptian organisation, and may suffer from systematic bias due to search language. WP:RS concerns still need to be addressed. Ohconfucius (talk) 02:38, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak delete The first paragraph has simply been copied from ISRA website. There's nothing notable about the article. It is blatantly promoting the ISRA. Their might be some significance we are not aware off but if the article remains as it is then it should be deleted.Ziphon (ALLears) 04:55, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak delete The article is badly written without assertion of notability. However, Google news reveals some (although not very reliable) sources, and it seems to be mentioned by a lot of websites. — Wenli (reply here) 04:21, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment the news mention the islamic research academy in egypt. But in the wikipedia article, is only about the IRSA in London. I'm not to sure if there's link between the two.Ziphon (ALLears) 02:29, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep on the basis of the sources Wenli found. Animportant institutee with important publications in a major university.DGG (talk) 01:52, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
