• Keep - this nomination would seem to run against the efforts of some to counter the systemic WP:Bias of wikipedia.I disagree with the nominator's dismissal of the article as merely defining a slang term and that it is a web site promotion.--AYArktos 21:50, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
  • You have no evidence to back up your claims of a conspiracy - just because the article comes from an Islamic background does not mean it should be exempt from VfD, to do so would make this encyclopaedia biased. Your reasons for keeping it are thus invalid. JamesBurns 03:20, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. No opinion on the slang half; the website mentioned has an Alexa rank of 49,711, so it's just barely tolerable (in that they probably don't hugely benefit from us hosting an ad for them). With that abominable animated gif, though, I can't blame the nominator for bringing the article here. —Korath (Talk) 00:31, May 9, 2005 (UTC)
