[edit] Family tree of Uthman ibn Affan

  • Delete Original research and WP:V (no sources), as it is the formating and composition is so bad that nothing is really salvagable. Jersey Devil 04:13, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment User Jersey Devil appears to be on the war path against User Striver by proposing all articles created by the latter for deletion. Sad. Lambiam 16:50, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep and expand or merge at Uthman. This person's family tree is of great historical importance. Smerdis of Tlön 16:25, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand; consider merger or prominent link to this page in Uthman article. WP:POINT is invoked; sorry, but it matters immensely to the history of Islam what the exact geneaologies are. Alba 17:53, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, and if there are any redundant articles like "Descendants of Uthman" like there were for Ali then merge them in... It's not great to have this in its own article... but... it's better than clogging up the Uthman page. gren グレン 18:38, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge per anonym --Oscar Arias 18:54, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Take note that I voted to delete this article so your justification is quite puzzling. Pepsidrinka 21:24, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

    • Question: what in there is original research? Ardric47 00:24, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Move to a new First Muslim Dynasty article because the Family tree of Uthman ibn Affan depends on the relationships of the other members to one individual (Uthman) in the same way as the Family tree of Ali. However he was not a separate dynast but the third in a line of Caliphs, so the appropriate family tree would be centred on Muhammad and the first four Caliphs because these five individuals formed the first Muslim "Dynasty", especially as they were all closely related. Striver keeps highlighting the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt but this Dynasty traces a lineage of Pharaohs and is not about breaking up dynasties into nano-lineages. Striver's line of thought would presumably include Family Tree of Elizabeth II, Family Tree of Prince Charles, Family Tree of Prince William etcetera when the appropriate article would be House of Windsor or British Royal Family.

  • Move per Green Giant. A much better way for a reader to understand a genealogical tree than individual nodes for each person or random persons in the tree. Weregerbil 08:21, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete/Move/Merge per Green Giant et al. As it stands, current art is litle more than stub, if WP:V (sources ?), then suit as insert in art. on Uthman himself. Please also see my comments re Author's UnWiki-like attitude in another AFD discussion. WiKinny 18:57, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
