-There is probably going to be a bit of trouble with the categorisation, possibly when it comes to defining the limits between academic books and other books, and very likely when it comes to the border between magazine articles and commentaries. Any ideas regarding a more fool-proof categorisation would be highly appreciated.

-::The idea was to separate single-author opinion pieces from more thorough articles that have been worked on by a redaction. I thought about it in the same way as the [[WP:RS]] guidelines distinguish between reports and opinion pieces. However, I can see how this could make opinion pieces by experts seem less important than reports by not-so-knowledgeable journalists, so I guess it's not really that straightforward. If you want to merge, it's okay with me until we come up with a better solution.

-== Where's the references? ==
-[[Eurabia]] is a specific theory of the growth of Arab and Muslim influence in Europe. Where's the references that the books listed in the article adhere to that specific theory? There are many other sources and writers on the growth of Arab or Islamic influences that may arise from ''cultural conservatives'', pro-Zionist advocates, or old-fashioned xenophobic writers. One would like to see references after each book to a review that argues the book in question is advocating Bat Ye'or's theory.

-== Caldwell ==
-We can not include Caldwell as a Eurabia author (conspiracy theory; islamophobia) just because some scholars argue he belongs there. There would have to be consensus for this to include him. Otherwise, it's a BLP violation. I'll quote [[Fouad Ajami]] in his [http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/02/books/review/Ajami-t.html?pagewanted=2 NYT review]: I"n his “Reflections on the Revolution in Europe,” Christopher Caldwell [...] gives this subject its most sustained and thoughtful treatment to date." "It is a tribute to Caldwell that he has not oversold this story, that he does not see the Muslim immigrants conquering the old continent and running away with it." The Financial Times article which is linked does not mention Eurabia at all. [[User:Iselilja|Iselilja]] ([[User talk:Iselilja|talk]]) 23:05, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
-: What do you mean by "[to] include Caldwell as a Eurabia author (conspiracy theory; islamophobia)"? [[User:Visite fortuitement prolongée|Visite fortuitement prolongée]] ([[User talk:Visite fortuitement prolongée|talk]]) 21:31, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
-::The way I understand this bibliography; it is made up of two kind of authors: Those who write within the Eurabia mindset; like Bat Ye'or and then scholars/authors on the Eurabia theory/literature (who don't themselves adhere to the theory). Caldwell - if included - would fall within the first category (people who spread the Eurabia theory), not a scholar on the theory/Eurabia literature itself. Including him is therefore a grave accusation since the theory is widely seen as a conspiracy theory; and the Islamophobia template is used in the article. Per prior debate; the inclusion criteria for the islamophobia template is very strict (only clear-cut cases), because it is a serious allegations; and the inclusion criteria for a list of literature that promotes the Eurabia theory should be equally strict. [[User:Iselilja|Iselilja]] ([[User talk:Iselilja|talk]]) 23:47, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
-::: Do the wikipedians at WP:BLP/N support this complex deduction, including your claim that this bibliography is actually a list of authors? And do you plan to delete the mentions of Vaïsse 2010 and Vaïsse 2010? [[User:Visite fortuitement prolongée|Visite fortuitement prolongée]] ([[User talk:Visite fortuitement prolongée|talk]]) 21:02, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
-:agree with Iselilja. Eurabia is a very specific set of authors writing on the Eurabia conspiracy theory since Bat Ye'Or's work on Eurabia.
-:It would be much better to move this article to bibliography of works critical of islam, and simply include a section on eurabia in that article. --[[User:C|C]] ([[User talk:C|talk]]) 21:16, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
-:: I previously reverted your hijacking of the page, but now I do not care anymore. Feel free to do whatever you want. [[User:Visite fortuitement prolongée|Visite fortuitement prolongée]] ([[User talk:Visite fortuitement prolongée|talk]]) 21:09, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
-:Yeah, this is a ''bibliography'' so I should have written book/s; however with regard to BLP I think that's a distinction without a difference. I removed it per BLP because I believe my view will have support at the BLPN if brought there; but of course it remains to be seen. I think there is some inherent problem with this list article, as Eurabia is both a controversial/stigmatized concept and at the same time there is no clear definition of what falls within the concept; and a list is pretty much either/or; it doesn't have room for the same nuances as you can have in ordinary articles; like this article's mother article. It also is confusing when proponents of the theory is mixed with academics and critics; and now even a fictional work (''Submission''). I recognize Vaïsse as a RS; but his pov regarding Caldwell is not shared by other RSs. (I may want to delete links to him for some other reasons; see below (soon)). [[User:Iselilja|Iselilja]] ([[User talk:Iselilja|talk]]) 21:47, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
-:I have moved the article so that also works published before Bat YeOr and on other geographic areas can be included in the article. --[[User:C|C]] ([[User talk:C|talk]]) 09:45, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
-== 2015-03 deletion of content ==
-The deletion of the mention of DOI:10.1177/0306396806066636 under the comment "remove offtopic entries (either focused on America or on criticism of Islam in general), not specifically on Eurabia" is a nice move. Bravo! [[User:Visite fortuitement prolongée|Visite fortuitement prolongée]] ([[User talk:Visite fortuitement prolongée|talk]]) 21:02, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
-== Linkfarm problem ==
-I think several sections of this bibliography may violate [[WP:Linkfarm]]. A bibliography should be made up of notable works and maybe a few that is not notable enough for its own article, but it shouldn't be a collection of everything that has been written on a subject. Wikipedia articles aren't meant to be hand manuals. Basically I think the Books section is all right (to the degree there is consensus in RS that they are books on Eurabia) and problably the Reports section, but I am sceptical to the ''Academic works'' section and in particular to the ''Other articles'' section. They seem to include a lot of works that are OK to use as sources; but the works themselves are not of encyclopedic notable. See [[Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Stand-alone_lists#Selection_criteria|Selection criteria]]. [[User:Iselilja|Iselilja]] ([[User talk:Iselilja|talk]]) 22:05, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
-: Since you do not oppose to (agree? support?) the deletion of the mention of the most RS and on-topic publication about Eurabia (see section ''2015-03 deletion of content'' above), there is nothing worth of being mentionned in the page. I suggest you to blank the page, or to help your new friend to rename and rewrite the page.

-== Deprod ==
-I removed a [[WP:N|notability]]-based [[WP:PROD|prod]] just now. Notability of a list of books critical of Islam does not seem to be an issue. The issue with this page is that
-#what qualifies a book as "critical of Islam" should be explicit
-#to what extent do we require citing a [[WP:RS|reliable source]] stating that a book is critical of Islam (if the answer is "always", #1 is all but moot)
-#I'm a little uneasy with the having a bibliography of books critical of Islam when we don't have a bibliography of Islam. Sometimes bibliographies are best when they're more specific, so I don't ''know'' this is a bad thing -- but I wanted to mention it. &mdash; <tt>[[User:Rhododendrites|<span style="font-size:90%;letter-spacing:1px;text-shadow:0px -1px 0px Indigo;">Rhododendrites</span>]] <sup style="font-size:80%;">[[User_talk:Rhododendrites|talk]]</sup></tt> \\ 12:53, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
