Deletion Sorting
Project

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Islam. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Islam|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Islam. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
Further information
For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Per WP:BIO1E, this figure has only received coverage due to one event which he didn't have a significant role in, and likely wouldn't have been deemed notable enough to warrant a separate article (which is reflected in the article's rather small size and detail). Asclepias tuberosa (talk) 00:02, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - This is a instance of WP:BLP1E, as nom said. There is no secondary coverage aside from this event about the subject, which means that there is no real reason to believe that this subject is notable enough to have their own separate article.

President of the Malaysian Islamic Party

[edit]
President of the Malaysian Islamic Party (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No other Malaysian political party's leadership positions have dedicated article and the position of President of the Malaysian Islamic Party on its own is simply not notable enough to warrant one. Content of the article seems more suitable for the main Malaysian Islamic Party page if not already present.

Edit: Looking through the edit history and it appears the article was moved from the author's draft to the mainspacce by a since-banned sockpuppet. Article was previously submitted for creation and declined by User:DoubleGrazing for failing to meet notability guidelines.

Edit 2: I have struck the WP:OTHERSTUFFDOESNTEXIST portion of my AfD submission, kindly ignore that argument. Sisuvia (talk) 14:48, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I concede that you're right about there being a dedicated article for another Malaysian political party's leadership position, that's my mistake. I will also be nominating that for deletion. As for the argument that the main article about the Malaysian Islamic Party is too bloated, the information you've included in the article nominated for deletion is mostly redundant and what I would support being migrated to Malaysian Islamic Party would take up no more than a few sentences, so I don't think that holds much water.

Oh well then it should be Draftified 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 08:19, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify, this is probably a notable topic (and other political parties may have similar notable positions), but I agree with the original AfC reviewer that this is not ready for mainspace. Most of it is unsourced, and even where there is a source, it's hard to see the connection to the text. For example, the Powers and duties section has one source, [1], which is a high-quality source. However, the content in the Wikipedia article doesn't seem related to the topic of that source. Müller 2014, p. 46 supports its second use, but not the first. In addition to sources, the topic seems ill defined, the Official seat and residence section seems to cover the current President's personal life rather than anything about the position, and the infobox provides as an official website the overall PAS website rather than anything directly related to the party President. I've tagged it for more sources, but this seems insufficient, and I'm not sure removing the unsourced/unsupported text is a better idea than giving time for sourcing.

Sultan Zauq Nadvi

[edit]
Sultan Zauq Nadvi (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This BLP article has been tagged for the use of unreliable sources since 2020. Wikipedia's strict standards for Biographies of Living Persons (BLP) require that all content be supported by reliable and verifiable sources. Upon review, I found that the article cites eight sources, six of which are entirely unreliable, including local book-selling websites, while another provides only a trivial mention. The article relies almost entirely on Nadvi, Jasim ad-Din (2019); however, no direct link is provided, and the reference appears to be from a user-generated website, which does not meet Wikipedia’s reliability standards. I considered removing the material cited from this user-generated source, but doing so would leave the article as little more than a one-line stub. Due to the lack of reliable, independent secondary sources, the subject fails to satisfy the notability guidelines outlined in WP:Scholar, WP:AUTHOR, and WP:GNG, and therefore, the article is not eligible for retention and should be deleted.–𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 03:07, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Is there really any need for a separate article just to write this little? It doesn’t meet the notability criteria at all. At most, it can be attached to Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami. Somajyoti ✉ 19:30, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I can find absolutely nothing about this individual on a WP:BEFORE search other than facebook posts and the like, and the article itself (along with being incredibly poorly written and overly long for no apparent reason) has absolutely zero sources. As such I don't believe this article meets WP:BIO. CoconutOctopus talk 14:33, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Thank you for your comments. I would like to clarify that the article on **Sultan ul Arifeen Hazrat Syed Rakhyal Shah Sufi Al Qadri** is based on verifiable historical and spiritual references. The most comprehensive source is the book *Bahr-ul-Ishq*, authored and published in Balochistan with multiple editions in **1923**, 1952, 1968, 1995, 2001, 2005, and 2008 by Fateh Chand Kunya Lal. This book documents the life, teachings, and spiritual lineage of **Sultan ul Arifeen Hazrat Syed Rakhyal Shah Sufi Al Qadri** in detail.
    A digital version of the book is publicly available here: Bahr-ul-Ishq – Archive.org
    I believe this satisfies the requirement of WP:V and demonstrates notability as per WP:BIO. I respectfully request that this article not be deleted. This subject holds significant cultural and spiritual importance, and the article has been created to make this knowledge accessible to the public, including through search engines like Google. I am fully open to rewriting, restructuring, and improving the article to meet Wikipedia's standards. ATIF ALI JISKANI 2346 & (talk) 18:59, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • The article would clearly need to be totally rewritten, and probably renamed, if kept, but there seem to be some sources here. Remember that South Asian names are often surrounded by honorifics and don't usually come with consistent spelling in a foreign alphabet. Phil Bridger (talk) 11:51, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I located a single reference to him here, but it is unclear if it meets BIO because of it. Article needs degaussing; it is currently a hagiography, and his name should be Rakhyal Shah.

There seem to be more sources with the spelling "Rakhial Shah" than with "Rakhyal Shah". Phil Bridger (talk) 22:35, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm hesitant to mark this article for deletion, but the sources here feel insufficient to establish notability per WP:GNG, as well as WP:NSCHOLAR (for the work in question). In addition, a rudimentary check suggests an extremely high likelyhood the article was written by AI, and lastly, the dates of the citations violate WP:MOS, raising questions as to whether they were hallucinated. Allan Nonymous (talk) 22:49, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - I originally created this article 12 years ago. Back then, the size of the article was not much and so were the number of references. Per, 7-day deletion tag created about two weeks ago, I added more content and references. The sources (except for Hedaytoor website) are all independent of the author. That said, for most of Exegeses not written in English, the issues mentioned above exist. Take for example the following:

Tafsir al-Mazhari,Tazkirul Quran

Moreover, the references of this article went through a round of modification ever since this deletion nomination started. I did that to make sure they are all accessible online.Kazemita1 (talk) 16:08, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The arguments you have made here are largely WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, which aren't really good arguments in this case and do not address the concerns raised by User:Bearian. Allan Nonymous (talk) 18:51, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think my arguments are "largely" WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. I mentioned finding several online-accessible sources in the last couple of weeks. I also mentioned that these sources are independent of the subject of the article. These are notability policies after all. As for what you call WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, I am bringing up a point about a big existing category in the English Wikipedia, i.e. Tafsir of Quran. I think I can expect to see the same standard being applied to all articles in that category. Kazemita1 (talk) 15:34, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Deep Research by ChatGPT (in Farsi) produces an article with multiple sources: تفسیر مشکات. My conclusion it to keep it. However, as an existential question, if ChatGPT can create such a decent article on demand without referring to the Wikipedia articles, I guess we can argue that we don't need to have a Wikipedia article in the first place. Taha (talk) 16:55, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"Research by ChatGPT" is virtually never a good argument for anything on wikipedia whatsoever. Allan Nonymous (talk) 19:18, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You might be surprised, but deep research produces really high quality articles. Also, it is more to the point than wiki articles. Disclaimer: AI is my research area and day job. Taha (talk) 07:57, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The AI draft is slop, the sources are untenable including using Wikipedia itself. By all means, continue using it in your day job, but not here please. Geschichte (talk) 09:56, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
