Hadith of Virtues of Persia People

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article is not notable and uses primarily primary sources to push a POV. It has one non-primary source which is unreliable. Mbcap (talk) 01:19, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep The hadith obviously has a POV, but the article does not. Is it being claimed that the article misrepresents the available sources on the hadith?  DGG ( talk ) 22:11, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
 * DGG I agree that the hadith has a POV but my issue is that this article does not have established notability. Since the hadith is a primary source, we cannot have an article on it if it is not covered in reliable secondary or tertiary sources. I was unable to find any reliable book or academic articles on the hadith. Therefore my question is how do we know that the hadith is notable enough to warrant its own article?

 * But it like all hadith is discussed in extensive secondary scholarship on hadith, some of which seems to be cited. There's undoubtedly more, for the analysis of the transmission of hadith was a key aspect  of traditional islamic scholarship and jurisprudence  DGG ( talk ) 02:23, 28 March 2015 (UTC).

Actually there is no citation to a reliable secondary source on the article. Could you possibly provide a source? Mbcap (talk) 02:35, 28 March 2015 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete - Lack of secondary resources in the article is very obvious. ● Mehran Debate● 06:27, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete This is a religious essay (violates WP:NOTESSAY) written in obscure theocratic style. The one source that might provide backing seems to be a theological journal from contemporary Iran, a theocratic republic based on medieval ideas, ergo not compatible with empirical context of Wikipedia WP:CONTEXTMATTERS. It's not a reliable source. This article could be titled "Mohammed talks about the good qualities of the Persian people." Tapered (talk) 09:41, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
