Muhammad I of Granada
The reason I changed this in the first place was because I had to go look for sources to fix some of the clarification issues. I closed the copy edit because there wasn't much more I could do in that regard, but as I said on talk, I think the article should be expanded before it goes up for GA—when I didn't hear back from you, I went to go look up sources to work on it myself, and I found out that basically every source (except harvey) calls him "Ibn al-Ahmar" consistently and exclusively. Even worse, reading our article it is easy to overlook this. At least, after reading the article, you will know his name was Ibn al-Ahmar. The books don't really refer to him as Muhammad I of Granada—when I realized this I changed it. This makes is more confusing for readers—let's say they go look up Banu Ashqilula (which is what I did to create the stub) and they find a bunch of books talking about the Ashqilula and some guy named al-Ahmar—it's pretty obvious that the least confusing thing would be to follow the majority of sources.

 * Thanks for the copyediting and the input, . Apologies for not being responsive—I have limited internet access at the moment and even less access to the sources. I used Harvey and Kennedy as the main source for Muhammad I. They used both "Muhammad/Muhammad I" and "Ibn al-Ahmar" interchangeably, given that I just prefer the personal name because I feel it's more systematic. Since you bring up more sources that use ibn Al-Ahmar exclusively, I'm undecided at the moment and will not revert your change until I look into it more. Just a note, if you're going to replace names, please make sure they say "ibn al-Ahmar" and not just "al-Ahmar". Ibn al-Ahmar simply means "Son of al-Ahmar", al-Ahmar ("The Red") is I'm guessing a reference to an ancestor of the dynasty (hence the dynasty's name Banu al-Ahmar, "Sons/Children of al-Ahmar"), so calling Muhammad I just "al-Ahmar" wouldn't make sense. Also I'm not sure what the correct capitalization would be for "I"bn and "A"l-Ahmar, but please make sure they are consistent.


 * I still also owe you those clarification tags, I will update when I got the chance. I guess I'll hold nominating the GA before all these are sorted.  HaEr48 (talk) 05:04, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Check out Google books, try both Ibn al-Ahmar and Muhammad I. I was able to find more sources searching for Ibn al-Ahmar then Muhammad I Granada. Also, I have already replaced al-Ahmar with Ibn al-Ahmar, as most of the sources used this version. (I did have one that used just "al-Ahmar" for whatever reason, but following up on your revert I went with the version that seems to be used by the majority of sources.)
