Long Healing Prayer

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This particular prayer is one of many and doesn't seem notable. There are no authoritative commentaries on this particular prayer, and there is not much to say other than that the prayer exists. In the case of Tablet of the Holy Mariner there is sufficient context to make the page notable and expandable. The Long Healing Pryaer could be mentioned on another page like Baha'i teachings.

 * Delete Not that I've got anything against the Bahais or Bahaullah in general, but this article does nothing more that mention that there's a prayer, and it doesn't direct you to a source that contains the text. It does direct you to a site that has a presentation that says it will go on for "36 minutes"... shorter than the average wait in a doctor's office, I guess.  Mandsford 14:59, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Merge or keep. This would be stronger as one paragraph of a long article on the writings of Bahá'u'lláh; but I see no reason to lose the information. There is a link to the text of the prayer, in English translation; it's under References, not Extrernal links. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 19:21, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. It is a significant prayer ritual, so the case for notability would be roughly similar to that for the Kaddish, allowing for the latter's much longer history. "Long Healing Prayer" is simply what it's called in English. There's a reasonable amount of description and history in there already. The text is quoted, and I don't think an external link to the complete text is necessary (although it can be found here). -- Rob C. alias Alarob 02:56, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
