This seems to be nothing but some "See also" stuff and an external links section (now that I've removed some very POV stuff added today). It used to be a redirect, to Democratic Muslims in Denmark, which doesn't seem like an obvious target at all, before it was recreated as an article in September 2010. I'm reluctant to tag it as CSD:A3, in case anyone thinks there's anything it should be turned into - I can't think of anything sensible, but you never know -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 18:45, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

• Delete – Looking at the article history, what I gather is that Moderate Muslims was the name of a political group in Denmark created in January 2006. In February 2006, the group changed their name to Democratic Muslims and the author of the original Moderate Muslims redirected to the new article. (Who by the way was also involved in creating/editing the new article). I would typically say just put the redirect back in place. However, in that the original name was only used for about a month, 5 years ago I cannot see anyone using the Term Moderate Muslim that is actually looking for Democratic Muslims. In fact, a redirect would most likely be confusing. Thanks ShoesssS ^Talk 19:08, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
• Comment. As it stands, the article appears to qualify for speedy deletion (A3) as it is nothing but an implicit "See Also" section, some external links and a category tag. RichardOSmith (talk) 20:03, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
