I notice the guesses of his birth and death have now been removed, by the same author who added them. It's now marginally a sub-stub. Is the other material guesswork too? Do we know anything about this person except what is already recorded in the Ibn Battuta article?

In particular, do we have any other works of his, or other authors who cite them? If so, they should be added. If not, what is the evidence that he did write other works?

As I said on VfD, if we know nothing else about this person, then the appropriate course of action is a redirect. Andrewa 20:28, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)

There is a lot known about this person. It just isn't all available online. The information I've added is from various sources online. There were conflicts with regard to the years, though (one source claimed he died 1355, while another claimed he wrote something in 1356). The facts that I kept seem to be well supported, though (except for the "dictated" part, which is from a previous version). Of course, dead tree research will likely be necessary to confirm the dates and other information. Anthony DiPierro 20:49, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Fair enough. Unless you are going to incorporate this material yourself, please add an "External links" section to the stub telling us what these "various sources" are. I had a quick look at Google, and it's not obvious to me. As it stands, much of your research is wasted. Andrewa 00:29, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)
