The signed letter of Muhammad al-Mahdi (Tawqee)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There appear to be only 5 or 6 mentions of this in the entire Shi'ite literature. And those too are only passing mentions, not in-depth coverage. I am nominating this with the premise that we put a brief mention of this (no more than 3/4 lines) somewhere in the Muhammad-Al-Mahdi article and delete this POV and OR essay.

 * Keep One article consist several part and all these parts are for clearing the subject. Therefore, we can not just write about subject and this is necessary write some introduction. In this article, history section is introduction and another parts are main text. Tawqee is signature of Caliph or rulers on the letter and the article is about Muhammad al-Mahdi's Tawqee. In references of the article, the letters were introduced that Muhammad al-Mahdi signed (for example this one and this). Please pay attention that according to WP:N, popularity is not notability. You can ask your question about Muhammad al-Mahdi and related topics to him from Sa.vakilian. Saff V. (talk) 09:42, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Both of your sources give one line mentions to this so called Highly important topic. I mean that literally, one line and they are done. It kinda made me laugh, that someone mentions something in one line and we create an article on wikipedia about that thing. Sounds absurd to you too when put this way right? Be kind enough to provide RS that discuss this in depth. Regards FreeatlastChitchat (talk) 14:11, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep per additional sources from Saff.V - admins should note nominator appears to be targeting articles created by Saff.V that passed AfC —Мандичка YO 😜 10:14, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
 * just out of curiosity, how do you know that this article passed AfC? - HyperGaruda (talk) 11:37, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
 * And out of even more curiosity why are you going around commenting on the editor instead of content? Is the creator of this article "sacred" to you somehow or related to you that when someone nominates her/his articles for deletion you want admins to "take notice"?
