These are just some personal notes on sources I have found useful, and might be added to some relevant article at some point:


 * In Jon Hoover (no Wikipedia article thus far, but he is Associate Professor of Islamic Studies at the University of Nottingham) addresses the Saudi scholar Abdul Aziz al-Harbi's arguments that Ibn Taymiyya and his disciple Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya did not teach universalism, or in other words they did not deviate from the classic Sunni consensus that hellfire is eternal for unbelievers – Hoover rejects al-Harbi's arguments with respect to Ibn Taymiyya; but, he finds some aspects of them convincing with respect to Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, to the point that he no longer feels he can claim as proven the claim made in his earlier work, that Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya was a universalist, and now considers the question of what the later's views on the topic actually were as unanswered
 * – this looks like a very useful book (Locating Hell in Islamic Traditions)
