Mufti Wali Hasan Tonki
Hi there I have a question you may be able to help with (but please feel free to ignore if you prefer!). This article has just appeared in the new pages feed and notability would rest on the claim that he was “Grand Mufti of Pakistan”. I don’t know if Pakistan actually has such a position as many other countries do, but if there is a recognised and publicly appointed Grand Mufti for the country it doesn’t look to me as though this person held that role. He looks more like a recognised authority within an individual school. If so, he might be notable but I don’t think we have the third party sources in the article as it stands to prove it. I hoped that your knowledge of the field might be helpful here. Many thanks.Mccapra (talk) 13:04, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , Definitely notable Deobandi scholar and teacher of known notable Deobandi scholars. The title is a honororary one, nothing official. Muhammad Rafi Usmani, Muhammad Taqi Usmani, Zar Wali Khan, Rashid Ahmed Ludhianvi have been referred with the title, and Muhammad Shafi Deobandi's name finds the title in official memoirs of the country. That said, I reckon Wali Hasan Tonki was a notable scholar. this] should be enough, his biography, life & works by some Muhammad Hasan Siddiqi. I'll try updating it soon as I get free. I'm saddened by Noor Alam Khalil Amini's death. ─ The Aafī   (talk)|undefined  13:15, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

If I may be so bold to say,
You sound like someone that I would absolutely love to have philosophical discussions with in regards to life and how we view the world around us. I know this isn't the place for it but I find your writing to be intriguing and highly stimulating to the mind. There is such a depth of color in your words. Even though you may at times be quoting others, I can see that you put your own emphasis behind each letter typed. I believe you are an amazing positive for the encyclopedia and your contributions are more than just the edits made to articles. -- A Rose Wolf  18:37, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , Thanks for the compliment. I'm just amazed to see that how did you notice my contributions. Thanks! ─ The Aafī   (talk)|undefined  18:43, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I was immediately captivated by your response to Mccapra on the AfD for Knowledge in Islam. I, admittedly, reviewed the history and looked at your list of contributions where I read many of them. -- A Rose Wolf  18:54, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , woah. Biographies are my favorite genre but the concept of "knowledge in Islam" is my favorite topic. I really admire Manazir Ahsan Gilani's works on this, whose single student Muhammad Hamidullah is seen as "unparalleled in the last century". Anyways, thanks for being the first female Wikipedian who has ever given a compliment to TheAafi. I really mean it. Thanks again. You may find and review my works on this Wikipedia here. ─  The Aafī   (talk)|undefined  19:07, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not deeply religious by any standards but I have a love for cultural beliefs, languages and music. I see the strings that bind us together as human kind so life has an added meaning for me. Everything is color and music, our lives and every experience we have within this circle are color and music. The deeper the colors the stronger the experiences. It's the same thing with a symphony. Every instrument has its color and every note has depth and distance. It's why I call us a symphony of life. Our lives are a literal song to me. -- A Rose Wolf  19:20, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , Looks interesting. I see the philosophy of life in one thing. It is to live life supporting and helping others. Grow and help grow. The closeness to God, and "collective-effort" is what means everything to me. Yeah, we "collectively" help this encyclopedia grow. If this collective effort doesn't remain there, hardly anything shall remain there. ─ The Aafī   (talk)|undefined  21:06, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

How can?
, How did you declare Emiway saying that it read like an advertisement? An experienced user Dan arndt has him while he is almost ready. Which is also an NPR. If you read it as an advertisement, show it by changing it or submit it for review. 223.238.216.75 (talk) 16:12, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Every reviewer has a different perspective while they review any article. This article doesn't look in a normal tone to me, and I think it needs some work before you resubmit it for any review. Just a side note, I'm not obliged to "resubmit" your draft, and I don't have time either to fix its problems. A reviewer (AfC or NPR) just tells you the problems, they aren't obliged to fix it on their own. That said, likewise is a `new page reviewer`, I am as well.

Coloman of Galicia
Hello, TheAafi,

In the future, if you fix a bad move, whether done in good faith or vandalism, could you leave a redirect? When the page has experienced a bad move, the bots on Wikipedia change all of the existing redirects to point to be bad new title. Then when the bad move is corrected, if you leave a redirect, then the bots can correct the redirects back to the right target. But if there is no redirect left, the redirects are broken and show up on User:AnomieBOT III/Broken redirects. There are a few editors who check this page periodically but if no one fixes these broken redirects, AnomieBOT III just deletes them all.

In this case, I have created a redirect from the bad title to the right title and now the bots can correct the redirects as they fix double redirects like these. Then, after the redirects are fixed, the temporary redirect I created can be deleted through CSD uncontroversial deletion.

This is typically not a huge problem because most articles have no or only a few redirects that point to them. But sometimes, like in cases like this, there are a lot of redirects and it's worth leaving a temporary redirect in place so the bots can get their work done. Thanks for your work! Liz Read! Talk! 00:53, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , Thanks for this. I guess this happened first time because the page was moved from "X" to "Y" and then from "Y" to "Z" by the disrupted user – and I thought the not should be fixing the redirects soon, when I reverted the "Z to Y" and "Y to X". I'll be watching this page too. I remember leaving a redirect while fixing those moves (because some involved round-robin moves including this) as well & those involved in this move are deleted "three days after I fixed" the move. Am I missing something? ─ The Aafī on Mobile   (talk)|undefined  03:47, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

Damien Echols (born 1974)
I am unsure what happened on the Damien Echols page by looking at the page history (regarding my request for deletion), please can you clarify. Thanks! &#8213; Qwerfjkl  &#124; 𝕋𝔸𝕃𝕂 (please use&#32; on reply) 21:29, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , okay. So accepted (AfC) the Draft:Damien Echols and moved it to Damien Echols (born 1974). Then they made a request at the RMT that Damien Echols (born 1974) be moved to Damien Echols. I followed the request. See the article history provides a glance. This move is called a "swap". See WP:SWAP & only admins/page-movers can do such moves. Once done, the left-over things are cleaned up. So what was earlier at Damien Echols was moved to Damien Echols (born 1974) and vice-versa (with history). The cleanup then demanded that Damien Echols (born 1974) be redirected Damien Echols. That's its condition now. Hence nothing was G6 deleted. I hope this clarifies everything. ─  The Aafī   (talk)|undefined  00:07, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

Ulama
Thank you for your message yesterday, I would be happy to share experiences. Please also look at the Ulama page. The entire page was written in the past, giving the reader the impression that madrassas don't exist any more and are a thing of the past. It is also difficult to check what is said in the sources as most of them are not online. The page gives a distorted as it focusses on issues of controversy such as power struggles between secular governments and madrassas.

I have come across biographies of contemporary Islamic scholars who are still living which describe the as 'Islamic scholar' and they place an internal link to the Ulama page on the term 'Islamic scholar', but the Ulama page fails to address how or where contemporary Islamic scholars are trained. The page also connects madrassas with extremism, but fails to mention that there are highly respected Ulama practicing today who are not extremists at all, so their are issues concerning a lack of neutral point of view by the editors of this page.

There have been discussions on the talk page about POV, but the page needs a lot more work. Last entry on the talk page was in 2017. A review of the sources currently used on the page would be useful to see if the sources themselves are NPOV or if controversial material has been cherrypicked from them.

What I did yesterday was a quick fix, changing some statements on madrassa's from past to present tense to reflect the fact that madrassas still exist and still follow traditional training methods. It would be useful to actually find reliable sources on the current situation of how the Ulama are trained and to start some new discussions on the talk page. If there is lack of consensus then page tags can be used to alert readers that neutrality is disputed until consensus is reached. Also, a tag at the top of the page to say the page needs updating could be used until content on contemporary training of the Ulama is reliably sourced and agreed upon. I would be interested to hear comments on these issues. Amirah  talk  10:04, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

 * , I was just going through Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Archive 108 and the conclusion was that, articles that have been linked in the RD (not in the blurb) are eligible for the DYK. Nonetheless, this would take days to get reviewed and passed. So there's no issue like "a thing being in the RD and DYK at a same time". Let me know if I'm mistaken. ─ The Aafī   (talk)|undefined  16:28, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * For example see this Template:Did you know nominations/Johnny Leach. I hope that you'd reconsider your review. ─ The Aafī   (talk)|undefined  16:45, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Also, there's another clarification at Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Archive 92, where maintains that Generally, a previous bold Main Page appearance makes an article ineligible for DYK. The articles in the "Recent deaths" subsection are simply listed and are not bold, so I'd say that does not disqualify them from DYK. Similar articles have been promoted in past like this and this. One of the two was passed by . ─  The Aafī   (talk)|undefined  16:50, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

DYK for Habibur Rahman Khairabadi
— Maile (talk) 00:02, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for a good one! On DYK today, two songs, a morning song that a cousin gave to me, about the many meanings of rising, and the other praying for the courage to take the necessary steps. The morning song is a GA, - I should write more given my initials, but I also want to care for articles of those who recently died (now Esther Béjarano). - Thank you for improving articles in July, - I come a few days earlier than normally because the bloom is fading already ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:00, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind

Some Lahpet for you!

 * , Thank you. I see you've a nice experience with GA's. Can you have a look at Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind that I recently expanded and tell me if it merits to be a GA or it needs more improvements in your opinion? I'll appreciate your advises. ─ The Aafī   (talk)|undefined  06:42, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
 * , the article, generally, is really nice; you could nominate for GA. But, as I mentioned earlier in your DYK nomination, some plagiarism is found, and you should paraphrase them first – it can be the main issue when you nominate. Zin Win Hlaing (talk) 07:28, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
 * , Thanks for the input. I've re-phrased a lot of stuff, and it is around 26% now. Still, I'm not able to understand, how this would be a problem when the statements in quotes have been attributed rightly? ─ The Aafī   (talk)|undefined  08:19, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
 * , I'm afraid I would refer you to WP:GACR. But plagiarism is excluded for quotations, I guess. And if you want to nominate for GA, just do that. A reviewer will tell you what you need to fix. Zin Win Hlaing (talk) 08:32, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

Clarification
Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you.

Just a note about your edit summary here: "7-year old discussions, they are fine and okay in Archive".

Well, per WP:ARCHIVENOTDELETE, "As a rule of thumb, archive closed discussions when a talk page exceeds 75 KB or has numerous resolved or stale discussions – see Help:Archiving a talk page. Apart from the exception described in WP:OWNTALK, discussions should be archived, not blanked." This is why I restored the old discussions here.

Anyway, thanks for correcting your mistake in the end. Peace.--TheEagle107 (talk) 03:51, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * , Nothing was "blanked", it was all archived. However, I had forgot to add the talk-page header. Thanks for the reminder. ─ The Aafī   (talk)|undefined  03:54, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

Source Questions for Jennifer Firestone Page
Thank you for taking the time to look over the page I created for the poet Jennifer Firestone. I realize it's been denied several times for sourcing issues. I'm having a hard time understanding what qualifies as a reputable citation and what doesn't. I've tried asking questions on Wikipedia's online chat forum, but still no luck. Could you help me understand so I can get the page published?

Thanks so much! Lhooves (talk) 15:07, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

A question
Why have several users asked me in the last couple of days for help with deleted articles or articles they want to create, on my talk page and by email? I am not responsible for the deletions nor am I remotely interested in the type of articles they want to create. Am I regarded as a soft touch or something? I ask you, because you removed one of these postings from my talk page, and perhaps know what's going on. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:35, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
 * , the one I removed was from a person who has now been blocked as a confirmed sock. If you have received emails for getting Ali al-Suleiman stuff restored, please see Sockpuppet investigations/علي أبو عمر. This is a long abuser, and more than 200 accounts have been blocked so far. See Alaa's case-page on meta. ─ The Aafī   (talk)|undefined  11:45, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

Inquiry
Asalamu alaykum. I came across the article on Mufti Karaan. I didn't know there was a Wikipedia article on him.

My father studies at Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama in Lucknow many years ago. He passed away 6 years ago. I was advised to write about his life but I have no writing experience. Also, I did not know the finer details of his life as our parents were seperate. I have kept some of his university scripts and reports as I didn't want to throw them away. I still have all his urdu and Arabic textbooks. I would like to donate them to people who would appreciate it.

How do you obtain the relevant information to write articles on scholars?

Thanks Wiki2408 (talk) 17:59, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * , Wa Alykumus salam! This is what is my field of expertise. I'd suggest you to read WP:COI if you plan to write an article about your father, after having a look at WP:BIO, making yourself sure that he passes the notability test of English Wikipedia. Alternatively, you can send me an email from here if you want me to help and assist you in all the issues around this. Thanks ─ The Aafī   (talk)|undefined  06:10, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Why are you deleting the article, every source I have added and the confirm news and confirm dates I have mentioned on the article. Than why are you deleting the page. Vikassharmasafidon (talk) 19:49, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Faizabad District Page move
Could you please explain the reason of request rejection?? Hindu108 (talk) 11:28, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
 * , I've multiple reason to reject this "move request" and I disagree with all the moves that you made prior to getting the base page moved procedurally. As noted at Talk:Faizabad district mutiple times, please feel free to initiate a procedural RM request. Since, this is not "uncontroversial", this won't be moved through the RMT and self-moving such articles is highly discouraged. Thanks ─ The Aafī   (talk)|undefined  11:31, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
