As per the discussion, lack of proven notabilty, no strong criteria for inclusion of scientists other than being from majority Muslim countries, and overcategorization. --Chuunen Baka (talk) 16:11, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete While the scientists listed come from countries with a predominant Muslim population, I don't see any evidence that some of the ones listed even adhere to the religion, so it would be POV (however unintentional) to characterise their work as "Islamic". Even if they were adherents, they would probably be notable in the first place for their scientific work, not their religious background. This isn't any more valid than an article on "Modern Christian/Jewish/Hindu/Buddhist contributions to science". Spellcast (talk) 21:25, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
