[edit] Northern Somali sultanates

The page is rife with tribalist propaganda that literally could have dangerous implications in Somalia today 70.28.236.161 19:34, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

• No reason to delete. Keep and cleanup. - Mike Rosoft 20:02, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. This is a legitimate topic. Strongly agree with need for cleanup. Possible merge with History of Somalia, but both are long articles and will need some study. •DanMS 21:47, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep with possible examination for POV. Capitalistroadster 23:38, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - encyclopedic topic JoJan 09:16, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Wikipedia is woefully short of articles on the history of non-English-speaking countries, so it would be a pity to lose this one. It despreately needs clean-up, though. I have started, and request the help of others in making this a keepable article. This is an episode of Somali history, so it need not be merged, espeically when both articles are lengthy.

• Comment: appears to be at least partially a copyvio from [1], but I think that section can be edited out with no great loss to an otherwise legitimate historical article. MCB 07:24, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
