[edit] Family tree of Abu Bakr

• Delete not encyclopedic and the sources are questionable. Jersey Devil 06:44, 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 17:01, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. We don't need a family tree of every single companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Everything of importance should already be mentioned in Abu Bakr, and if it isn't, then I guess merge it. Pepsidrinka 07:22, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep this one because Abu Bakr is important as Ali. --a.n.o.n.y.m ^t 16:10, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep or merge. I suspect we may benefit from having a centralised discussion on genealogies of Islamic patriarchs. Smerdis of Tlön 16:40, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

• Merge with Abu Bakr. Details of someone's family tree are more informative to the reader in the context of the person, not as a web of satellite nanoarticles. Weregerbil 22:14, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

• Move to a new First Muslim Dynasty article for similar reasons I have given in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Family tree of Ali and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Family tree of Uthman ibn Affan. None of these individuals was a separate dynasty on their own but all were part of the first Muslim Dynasty centred on Muhammad and the first four Caliphs. Otherwise we will be here till Kingdom come, with family tree for every single person who was related to Muhammad or happened to live across the street from him.

• 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 08:23, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
