Talk:Al-Wakwak

It seems to me that sources in English are more likely to drop the definite article than retain it. Srnec (talk) 23:05, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

 * From my experience, words borrowed from Arabic that are virtually exclusive to Arab, or sometimes Islamic, subjects frequently maintain the definite article, while all others normally drop it. For example, Al-Mi'raj, Al-Andalus, Al-Karak, Al-Aqsa, Al Ain, Al-Kafi, Sahih Al-Bukahri, Al-Azhar, Al-Qaeda, Al-Akhdam, etc. In my opinion, the definite article should be kept for this article because it is strictly related to Arabian mythology, and also to distinguish it from Philippine mythology's Wakwak. — LissanX (talk) 23:31, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
