Listing together these verses and then slapping a "famous" tag on it, constitutes WP:OR/WP:SYNTH with a touch of WP:POV. I mean, who decides which verse is famous and which not? --HyperGaruda (talk) 05:46, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Editing history shows only one person has put any content into it and there are no "Famous" lists for other holy books. I really can't what the inclusion criteria is...--Savonneux (talk) 06:57, 7 August 2016 (UTC) --Savonneux (talk) 04:16, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment It's not based on any fact except that they are verses from the Quran itself. I don't think that is correct when you see random verses, you just put the name "famous" on ithem then make it an article. Anyway, any chance for an opinionedia?

• Delete per WP:LISTCRITERIA and WP:OR Eperoton (talk) 13:23, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete As mentioned by pretty much everyone above, this misguided list entry is based on the editor's subjective definition of "famous", so it is complete OR. Johanna^{(talk to me!)} 19:24, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as original research. Lepricavark (talk) 01:53, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - These verses are common in the Muslims society and used more than other verses. It is better keep and suggest new name for the article.Saff V. (talk) 19:34, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as per LISTCRITERIA; "famous" is almost inherently subjective, and a list such as "Famous Uzbek politicians" would be similarly problematic. GAB^gab 03:36, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete This is an open-shut case of original research. There's no evidence that these verses are more famous than others or that they deserve special attention, and there's no precedent for such a list on the site. MezzoMezzo (talk) 03:52, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
