 * Weak delete Google search was unclear on more info. There might be more information on the Arabic Wikipedia, but unclear if that's there. Royal Autumn Crest (talk) 12:28, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep, Ali is one of the central figures in Islam, so this book of his sayings is wikinotable, invoking (a slightly adjusted:) point 5 of WP:NBOOK ie. "The book's author is so historically significant that a book of the person's sayings may be considered notable." Coolabahapple (talk) 06:28, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Comment As a major collection of hadiths by Imam Ali it’s pretty certainly notable though there may not be a great deal of RIS in English and tbh I haven’t been able to find much myself so far. Mccapra (talk) 13:23, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete This is not actually a book of hadiths, as Mccapra says above, but a poetic collection attributed to Ali by a certain set of Shia's (as the article claims). It has been translated to several languages including Gujarati, Hindi and Sindhi (I was able to locate some passing mentions) but I don't feel this credits it something to pass WP:NOTABILITY. We need to have something that verifies its relation with Ali first. ─ The Aafī   (talk)|undefined  18:52, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. The sourcing hurdle for books is pretty low-- just two reviews would do it-- but so far no one has turned up even a single source (even an unreliable one) about this book. I tried some searches with my best-guess transliteration "قلم-ي-مولة" and a few variations with no luck. Maybe sources exist in other languages, but without even the original spelling of the title, I don't see how they can be found. Right now there doesn't seem to be any evidence that an encyclopedia article even can be written about this book. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 20:28, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
