Muslim soldiers[edit]

Delete this page is redundant with the Mujahadeen page. The term "Muslim soldiers" should also be redirected to Mujahadeen. Jersey Devil 01:36, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep and rename "List of Muslim soldiers." A Mujahid is someone who engages in jihad, but there are Muslim soldiers that don't engage in jihad, e.g. those in the U.S. military. Also, the page is not redundant since it is a list, whereas Mujahadeen is an article. The page needs attention, though, to be sure. Шизомби 01:57, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Looking at the history, List of Muslim warriors was moved to Muslim warriors and then moved to Muslim soldiers. List of Muslim military leaders was merged in and redirected. It doesn't seem to me that much thought or any discussion went into all of that. Шизомби 16:46, 9 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep per Шизомби. YellowPigNowNow 05:49, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep there is difference between Mujahadeen and Muslim soldiers article. We need a place to list down names of Muslim leaders, who led armies in battlefields. I don’t think page Mujahadeen do justice with it. The concept of Mujahadeen is slightly different from contents in Muslim soldiers article. --Spasage 07:22, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Шизомби. As a list, this is helpful.--Pal5017 07:20, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per Jersey Devil. Also, since Islam is an old religion and currently has hundreds of millions of members, there is an enormous number of Muslim soldiers, so it would be better off as a category so that only notable people are included. -- Kjkolb 08:45, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

We'll not have list of all soldiers, only ones who were prominent, especially those who led Muslim armies. --Spasage 09:04, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Havent we had enough of JD yet? --Striver 01:09, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is interesting & useful list, Mujahedeen is article. As long as the two keep themselves separated in that way, & a bit of cleanup on this one, what's the problem.Bridesmill 01:17, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
