[edit] Chastity Houses

Chastity Houses (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

No reliable or verifiable sources. An article on temporary marriage in Iran (using valid sources) would be a legitimate effort, but this article is very poor quality. Khorshid 04:19, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as not verified. Same ref to a dubious 'proposal' is used twice, with a third ref to some statistics. Nothing says this thing actually exists. All these articles (googling) are from the same time period back in 2002. If such a thing actually had been implemented they would be something more and later. This is bogus, and likely meant for embarrassment of Iran or WP. Let's deny both potentials. Shenme 05:40, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as argued above. A proposal is in itself rarely notable. --Dhartung | Talk 05:57, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete unless reliable sources are added. Crotalus 08:18, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
• Strong KeepThis article has many problems, but it can be improved. The article is about a really notable issue. The article used to read like an essay but I am fixing that. There is a New York Times article about the issue which is cited in the article[1]. Shenme is definitely right when he says the article is "meant for embarrassment of Iran". Unfortunately that is the way the article was written. But I have rewrote it and it is nuetral now. This article can be fixed. --Agha Nader 20:46, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete I only know that the Islamic law about temporary marriages is much disputed between the different legal schools; but I can see that the article as written here is too much of a stub to be useful, and still has a nn pov. DGG 03:52, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Very dubious. Note that the New York Times article cited doesn't actually say that the houses ever existed in reality. I suspect someone's pushing an agenda. BTLizard 13:31, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
