Mahound

I embarked upon this request before the creator of the article supplied a useful rationale for the article existing here. From that, I appear to have stumbled into an edit war on another article that this was thought to be a solution to. Now, I don't agree for several reasons - forking an article is rarely a good idea when trying to create NPOV texts; I know a (non-devout, quite the reverse, but still) muslim-origin person named Mahound; the article as it stands lacks context so readers would be as lost as I was; but nevertheless, it was a good faith solution to an awful problem. Prior to my fellow editor intervening, I had speedy deleted this. Now I'm left thinking that, whilst this is still a speedy delete for several reasons, the article may have a requirement to continue to exist. So I'd like advice here. Yes folks, this is an admin who would like others to advise him. Explain to me what you think and why. Give reasons. Don't just "vote" (this isn't a vote, don't let people tell you it is) but give me reasoning. No one here is going to just count heads. If you do give reasoning, it will help me in future when I'm on CSD patrol. Thanks.ЯEDVERS 20:37, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
