Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Social class in the Muslim world
per #CONTENT. This article was https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Social_class_among_Muslims&oldid=105501331 originally about caste system among South Asian Muslims (which even https://www.britannica.com/topic/Islamic-caste Encyclopædia Britannica has an article on). The scope and content of the article was changed to cover the entire world relatively recently, and the page was moved accordingly by Metaphysicswar (who has since been blocked as a sockpuppet). The original topic has multiple books dedicated to it (e.g. https://books.google.com/books?id=lb7fjgEACAAJhttps://books.google.com/books?id=YRFuAAAAMAAJhttp://www.worldcat.org/title/basic-problems-of-obc-dalit-muslims/oclc/143331939http://www.worldcat.org/title/hindustan-men-zat-pat-aur-musalman/oclc/656153588https://books.google.com/books?id=Sdz9AAAAQBAJhttps://books.google.com/books?id=IToWAAAAIAAJ), and also finds a mention in hundreds of other books (e.g. https://books.google.com/books?id=qcYJAQAAIAAJhttps://books.google.com/books?id=dSzcaSf5vDsChttps://books.google.com/books?id=ZQ5lFywZAqYChttps://books.google.com/books?id=GC8-AAAAMAAJ). Not to mention journal/magazine articles (e.g. http://www.ijahs.com/view/sociological-perspectives-on-caste-among-muslims-in-india.pdfhttp://www.epw.in/system/files/pdf/1962_14/7/muslim_caste_in_uttar_pradesh.pdfhttp://www.frontline.in/books/caste-muslims/article5914944.ece), government reports (e.g. http://ncm.nic.in/pdf/report%20dalit%20%20reservation.pdfhttp://www.outlookindia.com/website/story/the-muslim-obcs-and-affirmative-action/233259), and news articles (e.g. http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/muslim-intercaste-tension-surfaces-in-bihar/1049300/http://www.rediff.com/news/2003/mar/06bihar.htmhttp://www.ummid.com/news/2015/August/26.08.2015/cabinet-nod-to-add-muslim-castes-in-obc.htmlhttp://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/sunday-times/deep-focus/Being-Muslim-in-India-means-Syeds-spit-on-Julahas-in-an-egalitarian-community/articleshow/5935797.cmshttp://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-opinion/muslims-that-minority-politics-left-behind/article4821472.ecehttp://tribune.com.pk/story/290249/the-making-of-the-modern-maulvi--xiii/). I suggest moving the article back to its original title, and reducing its scope to the Indian subcontinent as before
