This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 08:27, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

• Note: I've moved this over from technical requests. I will ping the participants shortly. SITH (talk) 14:05, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
• Pinging participants from technical section: Anthony Appleyard, In ictu oculi, Station1, MarkZusab and Gonnym. I have left a direct link on the nominator's talk page. SITH (talk) 14:09, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose per WP:SURPRISE. A reader would not expect a title like "God's Rule", "Doomsday Cult", or "Future Jihad" to be about a specific book. --Ahecht (TALK

• Strong procedural oppose These should each be discussed separately, since each has differing issues concerning them. A mass nomination is highly disruptive. -- 70.51.201.106 (talk) 07:02, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
  • Strong oppose "The Rusdie Affair", that is clearly an atlernate name for the Satanic Verses controversy, as used in the press and on Wikipedia. -- 70.51.201.106 (talk) 07:02, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
  • Strong oppose "God's Rule" this is clearly prejudicial in focus only on a book about Islam and not any other topics and religions, perhaps amounting to institutional bias if the move is carried out. -- 70.51.201.106 (talk) 07:04, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
  • Oppose "Doomsday Cult", WP:NPOVTITLE, unduly demonizes the Moonies, which hasn't committed mass murder/suicide, unlike Jonestown, Aum Shin Rikyo, Order of the Solar Temple, Heaven's Gate. Nor is it the most prominent sect committed to apocalyptism and millennarianism. Leave it as it is, redirecting to doomsday cult. --- 70.51.201.106 (talk) 07:13, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
  • Oppose "Expectation of the Millennium"; that should redirect to Millenarianism -- 70.51.201.106 (talk) 07:15, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose all particularly Expectation of the Millennium, The Rushdie Affair, God's Rule, God's Caliph, Future Jihad, Doomsday Cult; less so In the Path of God, Support Maududi and the Making of Islamic Fundamentalism which is just a CAPS problem. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:01, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
