[edit] Wikipedia:Islam and Judaism controversies noticeboard

This was posted at AfD. This is a procedural relisting, so I abstain.--Chaser T 08:19, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

One need look no further than the fact that this so-called "notice board" was created [1] by banned User:-Ril- -- This user is banned from editing Wikipedia under any username by decision of Jimbo Wales, the Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee, and/or a consensus of administrators. It has been determined by the Arbitration Committee that this user is a sock puppet of User:CheeseDreams. Please refer to Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/-Ril- 2 for evidence. -- This so-called "noticeboard," while masquerading as a "NPOV" place is actually violating WP:NOT and WP:NOR designed to attract and encourage friction between editors of opposing views by appearing to be a place where the connection between Islam and Judaism may be compared and discussed, but where in fact only articles critical of Islam and Arabs are noted and by implication it in effect invites incriminating "counter-attacks" against Judaism, Christianity, or any perceived enemies of Arabs and Islam. This is a magnet for a disaster waiting to happen. There is also a huge logical fallacy at work in its opening premise by soliciting for articles that "includes interests in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict" and indeed the articles that have been subsequently listed essentially have nothing to do with Judaism or Islam as such, see Wikipedia:Islam and Judaism controversies noticeboard#Articles with disputes. Finally, this "noticeboard" is redundant because the very respectable and established Wikipedia:WikiProject Islam and Wikipedia:WikiProject Judaism and their respective talk pages serve as true noticeboards and are degraded by this sham pov magnet.

• Delete. Wikipedia is neither a soapbox nor a battleground, the article is a POV magnet, and it was created by a banned user (which makes it speediable, actually). --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 09:45, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Per nom. My concern is that many articles on the Middle East are already slanted towards the conflicts. Please note that I am talking about proportions, not about this POV or another. I think that instead of arguing so much politics, we could make up for some of the underrepresentation of all other subject matter. gidonb 02:14, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
