Wikipedia:WikiProject Bahá'í Faith/Article sources



This page offers a list of suggested sources for articles relating to the Bahá'í Faith.

The sources below are classified according to their type: Either they are primary, secondary, or tertiary sources. Reliable, published secondary sources are preferred on Wikipedia, especially in establishing the notability of a subject (see WP:PSTS), but all three types of sources can be used to support statements within articles. All analyses and interpretive or synthetic claims about primary sources must be referenced to a secondary or tertiary source, and must not be an original analysis of the primary-source material by Wikipedia editors.

An additional concern when selecting a source for an article is its independence: Sources must be intellectually independent of their subject in order to prove that they are notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia. In this case, it means that relying solely on Bahá'í sources (or, conversely, on "anti-Bahá'í" sources) is not sufficient to establish notability.
