[edit] Nosairi

Was tagged for speedy deletion but does not qualify. Reason below is copied from Talk:Nosairi. howcheng {chat} 18:46, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

this article should be deleted, since the subject is already covered (and better so) in the article "alawite". also, the page name is considered pejorative by alawis. Arre 18:04, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

You are correct, I have seperated the alawis and nosairi needlessly. It looks like the nosairi have become much more insisten upon their islamness. Most descriptions I have read about the nosairi have been from older sources, and this has made it seem as if the two are entirely different sects. So, yes, this entry should be deleted.Nygdan1-20-2006

• merge and redirect is a solution here, since it is a different spelling of one pejorative term. Mukadderat 20:08, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

• merge and redirect - sounds good. Cuñado - Talk 22:40, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
