Biography of living persons issues here. There is *no* sourcing, and I've already seen complaints about it such as in otrs:1882285 in which one list member was not happy to be added. NonvocalScream (talk) 22:22, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Delete This is an unmanageable and poorly defined list. As NonvocalScream points out, this has no sources. If a list of this type is really necessary, and I see no reason to believe that it is, perhaps it should be split into separate, manageable lists like Musicians who self-identify as Muslim,etc. as "entertainers" is so vague that this could encompass any number of professions.

Keep If someone is on that list that doesn't belong there, than that indivdual should be removed. The list should be moved to List of Muslim entertainers, but it should not be deleted. We have lists very similar to this one, including Lists of African Americans, List of Christians, List of Italian actors, List of military brats, List of military commanders, and List of cheerleaders.

:WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, Let's try and keep this debate focused to this article only. NonvocalScream (talk) 04:00, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

::I once again agree with NonvocalScream. I still don't see any argument that explains why this list is considered encyclopedic. I'd have no problem if this list had defined boundaries, but this is just a list of random, not sourced people who may or may not be Muslims and may or may not be entertainers.

Delete. This appears to be a major breach of WP:BLP and WP:REF as there are no references to support claims of religious affiliation. Placement on the list appears to be based mainly on the name, race or nationality of the individual. WWGB (talk) 06:30, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
