This has gone way over time. There is clearly no consensus to delete, but someone may wish to remove inappropriate quotes.-- Poetlister 06:12, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Religious police
I don't believe this is at all as coherent a concept as the title would make it out to be. — BD2412 T 18:06, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment We have already discussed this article here, which resulted in a name change. I think it should be restricted to quotes that explicitly mention "religious police".-- Poetlister  20:29, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Even if there are quotes that mention the term, I just don't think it's a coherent term with a set meaning. Most of the quotes we have are on a specific Islamic concept which, to my understanding, is a translation of a term that does not quite mean "religious police". BD2412 T 21:22, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep but trim I don't think a theme article needs to be coherent in the way BD2412 seems to want; it suffices if the quotes actually use the phrase.--Yehudi 19:26, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The problem I have with it is that there are four or five quotes about Islamic religious police, which are in certain countries a recognized and existing entity, and then one quote about Christians acting as "sex police", which is a completely different concept and should be filed, perhaps under prudishness. If that one out-of-place quote is removed, the concept then becomes wholly that of Islamic religious police organizations, for which there are specific names. BD2412 T 20:04, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Fine; remove that quote and suggest a re-name.--Yehudi 22:45, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd be inclined to say Mutaween, but I don't think the topic is broad enough to merit an article once more concise parameters are drawn. BD2412 T 03:56, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete As B|D2412 says, it's a bit over-narrow.--Cato 19:53, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep It is a good subject, so i don't think it warrants deletion, at the same time i don't think it really is big enough to split into two articles.
 * Keep. Good subject.--Jusjih 18:52, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
