Qadri-Qadeeri Silsila

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Most likely fails WP:N. No references found on Google (except for transclusions of Wikipedia). In my understanding, this is a Sufi teaching promulgated by a locally venerated person Muhammad Abdul Qadeer Siddiqi Qadri from Hyderabad, India, whose followers decided to commemmorate his teachings on Wikipedia. The Indian subcontinent has myriads of such locally venerated philosophers-holy men, it is actually a truly beautiful feature, but I have doubts whether most of them are notable enough, that including the founder of this particilar silsila. I would propose either delete or merge to Qadiriyya (under "Offshots" subheading).  kashmiri TALK  10:21, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Merge as this seems best and there's nothing for a better separate article. SwisterTwister   talk  07:11, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Mergethe article summary to Qadiriyya and delete or merge the (unsourced) chains/listcruft to Muhammad Abdul Qadeer Siddiqi Qadri. I do have to note though, that the article seems does not make a clear distinction between the terms silsila (chain of spiritual predecessors) and tariqah (an order or denomination of Sufism); I assume that we are dealing primarily with tariqah in this article. It seems to me as if the name for this order is WP:OR, since the article first explains how most other Sufi orders get their names, before proceeding to the subject's origins. This and of course the complete lack of sources does make the existence of the Qadri-Qadeeri order somewhat suspicious. Its founder Abdul Qadir Siddiqi on the other hand, seems genuine as pointed out on this AfD, so there might be a second article into which we can merge part of the Qadri-Qadeeri article. - HyperGaruda (talk) 12:47, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
