Having considered at first that this topic may have notability I have taken some tome to look at the English version of its web site. Having done so it appears to me that this is some form of evangelical website rather than a necessarily notable entity, and thus it concerns me that it both may have no genuine notability and may also be both an attempt to gain notability by being listed in Wikipedia, and may be seeking to use Wikipedia as a set of inbound links to enhance its reputation.
Wiser heads than mine may disagree, but I am proposing it for discussion in order to reach a consensus on whether it should remain here or not. For the moment please take this as a neutral nomination. I will consider my opinion further and give an opinion when I have it fully formulated. Fiddle Faddle 14:14, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment A "neutral nomination"?? Is this a deletion discussion or not? If yes, please provide a valid delete rationale. If not, please withdraw this nom. Note that links from WP do not do anything to enhance a websites standing on, e.g., search machines like Google, because they are all tagged as "nofollow". --Randykitty (talk) 20:51, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- That the nofollow attribute is present is not known to those who seek to use us for link purposes. Links here also drive traffic. The rationale that you missed is lack of notability, stated above. Fiddle Faddle 20:56, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- So what's a neutral nomination? And are you sure that an islamic magazine might be "evangelizing"? --Randykitty (talk) 21:32, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete No independent sources means no notability. --Randykitty (talk) 14:04, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
