Not sure about this article. Although information in this may be valid, it doesn't show any source and it is written as an essay. If not deleted, it needs to be re-written and renamed. Beagel (talk) 19:03, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. This seems to me to be original research about the etymology of the name of Sunni Islam.  Some portion of the information might be carefully merged into the main article.  There may be enough for a separate article at some time, but this is not it; and any such article ought to appear under a title that would occur to English speakers. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 13:29, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. This is not an original research about the etymology of the name of Sunni Islam, It looks like someone trying to show his own point of view, or his group point of view, it is difficult for me to trace the supplied references, at the same time the user does not have a user page to discuss with him. The article Sunni Islam covers all details about the subject with historical proven references, and all information in Sunni Islam it is well known to Muslims. But I don’t know what this article want to tell us. at the same time, I don't know how to reach the supplied references like this one (Source: Tarikh Islam, vol. 2, page 673) and other. The name of the article "Sunni The Origin of the name Ahl-us-Sunnah wal-Jama't" Seems like someone will explain how the name comes, but the contents are about history, for me it is the first time to hear about this history. About what he calls "Allamah Ahmad Ameen of Egypt and taking him as an Islamic Reference. I tried to validate this from Ahmed Amin original book but I failed, at least he must show how we can find this in the original books, not a translated books. By the way “Allamah” in some area of the Middle East means someone with huge knowledge about Islam, and can be an Islamic Reference, but Ahmad Ameen (1886-1945) he was a teacher in Cairo University faculty of Arts, (even not a teacher in Al-Azhar University Which is the main reference for Islamic studies), and his three books about Islam does not represent any Islamic reference, they are books for the causual reader, I can write similar books if I want and my books will not be an Islamic reference as well. Also Ahmad Ameen was interested with politics any science, not an Islamic specialized writer, This is what Egypt knows about Ahmed Ameen, from  Egypt State Information Service, maybe the author knows him more than us.
 * Another Comment Nothing of the information can be merged into Sunni Islam.--Puttyschool (talk) 20:25, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
