Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Islam

Shortcuts

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Islam. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Islam|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Islam. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Islam

Uthman Ibn Farooq

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is an article about an American Muslim missionary who runs a Masjid in California and also has a YouTube channel. I looked through the article's sourcing, and found it relatively lacking:

Source assessment table
Source	Independent?	Reliable?	Significant coverage?	Count source toward GNG?
OneMessageFoundation on YouTube	The BLP subject is more or less the person who runs the One Message Foundation	~ WP:ABOUTSELF	moot as clearly non-independent	✘ No
Canadian Dawah Conference	This is a speaker bio for a conference at which the BLP subject spoke	~ WP:ABOUTSELF	Moot as clearly non-independent	✘ No
Know Your Sheik	This is the same speaker bio as given for the Canadian Dahwah Conference, almost verbatim. This appears to be merely a host for self-submitted bios of Sheiks	~ WP:ABOUTSELF	Moot as clearly non-independent	✘ No
Masjid Ribat	The BLP subject serves as the Imam at Masjid Al-Ribat	~ WP:ABOUTSELF	Moot as clearly non-independent	✘ No
This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor. Created using {{source assess table}}.

After noticing this, I also tried to look for independent significant coverage of this individual from reliable news sources via an online search. Google news returned zero results for search terms Uthman Ibn Farooq Khan Yusufzai and عثمان بن فاروق خان یوسفزی (his Pashto name). But I was able to find some articles that mention a certain "Uthman Ibn Farooq" that are not presently cited:

Middle East Forum: 1, 2 (apparent opinion piece), 3, 4, 5, 6
Arab News: 1 (labeled opinion piece)
Trinidad and Tobago Guardian: 1 (describing him as among a group denied into the country)
Voice of the Cape: 1
Politics Nigeria: 1

But I don't think this is enough to warrant an article. Middle East Forum is deemed unreliable at WP:NPPSG and the Arab News source is an editorial and thus not contributing towards notability, so these obviously don't help meet WP:NBASIC. "Voice of the Cape" is a local religious community radio station, and "Politics Nigeria" frankly looks like an online politics blog; while neither are mentioned in the WP:NPPSG (and have never been discussed at RSN, from what I can tell), I don't think either are reliable enough to contribute towards notability. And that leaves us with a single article in the Trinidad and Tobago Guardian, but no single source can satisfy the requirement that multiple qualifying sources cover a subject for them to be presumed notable.

As such, I do not think that this WP:BLP meets the relevant notability guideline of WP:NBASIC. And, in line with WP:DEL-REASON#8, I think we should delete this article. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 23:11, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete you're correct, there is only 4 references, one of which is a link to his YouTube channel and the another is a link to a website of a random mosque where there is inadequate information regarding him, the remaining two don't give any indepth and verifiable information regarding him.

Delete: I can only find forums and op eds. There is no independent coverage in reliable sources, and there is way too much unsourced content in the article for it to remain in the main space. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 06:06, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hearth Party

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This political party has sources, but seems completely trivial within politics. Ran in the 2024 Turkish local elections and gathered 2000 of 46 million votes. When reaching such an incredibly low level of relevance in politics, it is of no encyclopedic interest which hand gestures they like or how they view Atatürk.

Merge I think it should be marged and redirected, into a new 'Hearth Party' section on the Ottoman Hearths article as it is the 'political wing' of that group, both are stubs and there seems to be some considerable overlap already. I don't read turkish (and google translate struggles!) but most of the sources seem to talk about them together. JeffUK 10:45, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Reads like PROMO for a low-polling party. Hand signals and how they see history is a good half of the article, which seems like fluffy padding added to bulk-up a otherwise thin article. I don't see notability. Oaktree b (talk) 16:01, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of Ottoman mosques in İzmir

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Is links to 5 articles enough for a list? If so I think the mosques without articles should be cited Chidgk1 (talk) 17:47, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to either List of mosques commissioned by the Ottoman dynasty or List of mosques in Turkey. Reywas92^Talk 17:55, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per above. Abhishek0831996 (talk) 12:32, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Looks like this will likely close as Merge but is there a preference for a Merge target article?

Merge per above. Given that List of mosques commissioned by the Ottoman dynasty is currently described as containing some of the most important mosques in modern-day Turkey that were commissioned by the members of Ottoman imperial family, I'd strongly prefer List of mosques in Turkey instead since the mosques in the list under discussion weren't actually commissioned by the Ottoman dynasty or imperial family but rather by governors and other local notables. --Richard Yin (talk) 10:49, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
