Merge needed
I see we already have an article Ruqayya Mashhad, and this stub needs to be merged with that article. However, that article also has copyright problems because it was only very lightly paraphrased from the ArchNet source. Invertzoo (talk) 20:40, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Categorization
Category:12th-century religious buildings is a container cat, but I'm not sure which subcat is appropriate for this. --Slivicon (talk) 20:48, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

Undo Merge of "Mashhad of Sayyida Ruqayya" with "Sayyida Ruqayya bint Ali"
The page "Mashhad of Sayyida Ruqayya" was recently merged with the page "Sayyida Ruqayya bint Ali", on the proposed grounds that the subject of the former is the same the latter. I believe this is improper, as the mausoleum is an important architectural and historical monument in its own right, discussed in many scholarly works, and Sayyida Ruqayya is also a significant historical and religious figure in her own right. The two should be discussed separately, just as every other historical figure who happens to have a mausoleum does not have a combined page for both their biography and the architecture of their mausoleum. The mausoleum itself is a significant Fatimid-era construction built long after Ruqayya's death. Moreover, most of the information and imagery on this page is from the Mashhad of Sayyida Ruqayya, and the intro is now confusing since it reads as both an intro to the person and an intro to the mausoleum structure, with no other information provided about the person. I also don't see any attempt to discuss the merger beforehand, as would have been appropriate in this case (see guidelines here). It is too late to undo the merge directly in the edit history. I presume the easiest thing to do is to simply delete the redirect at "Mashhad of Sayyida Ruqayya" and move the relevant content back to that page? Discussion and suggestions welcome.

 * I have reversed the merger by removing the redirect and restoring the content to that original page (i.e. copy-pasting the content back into it). As mentioned above, I couldn't see any other way to reverse the merger. If there are better ways, please discuss or offer guidance. (I have also restored the talk page at Talk:Mashhad of Sayyida Ruqayya.) (Casual Builder) Robert Prazeres (talk) 23:51, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
