The term Islamization is generally used to describe content already discussed in the Spread of Islam page. Islamization is most often used in an historical context to detail how Islam was introduced to new regions (e.g., Islamization of Albania (one exception to this is Islamization in Pakistan which describes a contemporary policy which uses the same word). However, this page previously discussed the contemporary spread of radical Islam, or contemporary conversion trends in a disjointed manner. The page was left in need of a major cleanup and cited few sources. After another user removed irrelevant content (as well as POV content), it was left pretty bare, since the Spread of Islam page already covers most of the content the would be relevant to this page. I believe it is best to delete this page and move unique content from this page to that one, as well as redirect Islamization to the Spread of Islam page. _{too_much}curiosity (talk) 18:18, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Spread of Islam: There is in fact nothing unique on this page any more, since I already copied the 'lead' into the "terminology" section on Spread of Islam, as well as the part below, which has been copied to the "Modern" section. And the different 'By Region' sections on Spread of Islam already directed to all of the different "Islamization by X" pages before I did anything.

Keep / Merge into Spread of Islam: For same reasons as mentioned above or cause it meets the notability requirements. — 216.49.130.8 (talk) 23:00, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Spread of Islam: Duplicate article, or at best an unneeded fork. All the useful content in the article is already in target (maybe one ref could be moved), so nothing to merge. // Timothy :: talk 17:05, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
