File:Folio from a Koran (8th-9th century).jpg, not delisted

Voting period ends on 25 Aug 2009 at 18:09:19

•  Info Reason to delist (Original nomination): Just an ordinary folio, but dirty and smeared in many places, plus the writing on the back shines through. This doesn't to the Koran justice. -- JovanCormac 18:09, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Delist As nominator. -- JovanCormac 18:09, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Delist -- TonyBallioni (talk) 01:37, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Keep Maybe not the prettiest, but of great historical value (8th-9th century !)
•  Keep the extreme age and archaic form of writing is VERY valuable. As the Koran was written in about the 7th century, this very early edition is extremely valuable. Adam Cuerden (talk) 10:13, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Delist --Claus (talk) 00:40, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Keep Good enough to stay. /Daniel78 (talk) 22:54, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Info I talked to a representative of the Chester Beatty Library in Dublin a few days ago (which is considered to be the finest collection of Qurans outside of the Islamic World) and he told me that they were currently in the process of digitizing their entire collection, for making it available to the entire world. Once this is done, we will import literally tens of thousands of beautiful Quran pages into Commons which (I can tell you, as I have had the privilege of seeing the collection with my own eyes) make the candidate look like a piece of scrap paper. -- JovanCormac 15:50, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Keep at least until the tens of thousands of beautiful Quran pages reach Commons. Lycaon (talk) 13:05, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Keep per Lycaon --Muhammad (talk) 23:38, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
