[edit] Mishmahig

Mishmahig (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This is a copy of an article deleted by prod last December by User:The Behnam (since departed). The original prod reason was: "This article is mostly just a copy of a POV article from CAIS. Not only may this have a copyright issue, but this also provides a strong POV in both content and style. Any suitable facts should be relegated to the History of Bahrain article, and this Mishmahig at most remain a stub. In any case, this alternate, POV history of Bahrain should not remain." I'm inclined to agree but since this is a repost it's apparently a (belatedly) contested prod, I'm seeking suggestions here, and appreciate any opinions on whether this topic deserves an article and what it would consist of.

• Delete or Merge to Bahrain - non-notable (i mean, it's just the geographical area that makes up Bahrain). If anything, should be merged into Bahrain or History of Bahrain —Preceding unsigned comment added by Calvin 1998 (talk • contribs) 00:28, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
• Delete or merge, but this is an oddity. I gather that this article exists to give prominence to a subgroup? There doesn't seem to be much rationale for the article, which claims to be about "an island" that it says is made up of hundreds of islands. I.e. it claims to be about another name for a particular area of land, but then it's really about the nation of Bahrain. Something very fishy is going on, and possibly a POV fork.

• Speedy delete - seems to be a copyright violation. Compare content and observe the copyright notice at the bottom of this page. – jaksmata 19:40, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
• Speedy delete - and fast, per Jaksmata above. Calvin 1998 ^Talk _Contribs 02:44, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
