Hazrat Mujaddid Alfi Sani
plus redirect at Al-Sheikh Ahmad of Sirhand

Prod was removed, improperly restored. User:RHaworth User:Sandstein's prod reason was: "Textdump from a book (see WP:NOT); probable copyvio (WP:C) and notability (WP:BIO) issues." I'm withholding my vote for now. NickelShoe 15:53, 6 March 2006 (UTC) (edit 16:05, 6 March 2006 (UTC))
 * I don't appreciate my comments being edited. You could simply comment that you disagree instead of changing my words. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether it was improper or not, it's here now. NickelShoe 18:53, 6 March 2006 (UTC) (edit 18:54, 6 March 2006 (UTC))
 * Apparently the prod removal was simply a result of merging page histories, so I've struck that claim. NickelShoe 21:45, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as copyvio unless the author can provide evidence that the book is public domain. Admits to be copied from a book.   I searched worldcat and couldn't find it, but that may be a problem with the westernization of the arabic title.  Otherwise this appears to be a hagiography of a Sufi Imam.  Although I can't tell if the article is talking about the person named in the title, it's that poorly written.  I don't know what makes an Imam notable.  If kept, the article badly needs re-translation, cleanup, context, NPOV and assertion of notability. Thatcher131 16:01, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as per my original PROD. Sandstein 16:30, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. To Sandstein's reasons we can add WP:NPOV - paragon for the Awliya-i-kiram, etc. What does quddisa sirruh mean and do we allow it in Wikipedia articles? -- RHaworth 18:44, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment quddisa sirruh literally means may his soul be blessed and is used for Islamic scholars etc. Do we allow it? Yes, I think it's a valid extension of WP:Civility    Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk  22:29, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unless shown not to be copyvio, also needs major rewriting.  Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk  22:34, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
