origional research and dictionary definition SefringleTalk 06:07, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep - Unlike many other totally useless pages in the English Wiki, this article is actually important, since the meaning of the word is the official cause for the Sunni-Shia split in Islam. Therefor it is important to show the different meanings of the word. I didn't notice any original research in the article. Lizrael 12:42, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
The article is nothing more than a definition. I guess I'm supposed to take your word for it that it is important. And it is origional research. Maybe you can show me what sources are in the article.--SefringleTalk 23:49, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Per Lizrael. Seems to be a pretty important word, as described in the article. Needs sources to back that up though. tdmg 20:17, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep but it needs to explain in a better manner why this word and the differing interpretations of it are important in the history of Shia-Sunni relations. At the moment it isn't very clear. Jayran 18:26, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete It is kind of WP:OR. We cannot write about issues that are not significantly covered in secondary sources in real life. The whole page looks like created to explain a hadith which is not right use of wikipedia. --- A. L. M. 08:14, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
