Talk:The Guardianship

Making this a seperate article
Though I only recognize Shoghi Effendi as having ever been Guardian, I think that it would be prudent to make an article on the Guardianship that is separate from the article about Shoghi Effendi, including the information in the writings of Bahá'u'lláh as well as the Will and Testament of `Abdu'l-Bahá pertaining to the station, requirements, appointment, ratification and successorship of guardians. Information pertaining to claims to guardianship after the passing of Shoghi Effendi could be included, but as most of the information regarding it is already contained within Baha'i Divisions I would like to keep it minimal in accordance with notability guidelines.

 * I suggest first expanding the articles on Shoghi Effendi and moving that here if it gets too big. The name would probably be "Guardian of the Cause", to follow Hands of the Cause, and I don't think we're supposed to start an article with "the". Cuñado  ☼ -  Talk  04:40, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Perhaps "Bahá'í Guardianship"? And while I agree that articles concerning Shoghi Effendi need expansion, I think that this situation calls for separate articles (similar to "President" and "George Washington" as an example.) Peter Deer (talk) 16:29, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
