[edit] Rehan (plant)

Rehan (plant) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Page with a complicated history (moves, removes, deletes, ...) and quite complicated contents. As far as I can tell, there is no plant that would be referred to in English or scientifically as "Rehan", making the page basically unnecessary. "Artemisia rehan" gives 34 distinct Google hits[1] and 5 in Google Scholar[2], so it seems to exist (even though it isn't listed on the Artemisia (plant) page). I have found no reference to Holy Basil being called Rehan. The rest of the article (about the Qu'ran and the people) is irrelevant to the subject. A redirect would serve no purpose (nothing to merge, target has no more info on it, and title is not a very likely search term), so deletion seems the best option. Fram 09:30, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

• Move to Rehan and fit entries to DAB standard, retain sourcable info pertinent to "Artemisia rehan" in this space, or maybe redirect to Artemisia rehan..? Murgh^disc. 10:15, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

• Comment I found one reference to A. rehan being called "rehan"; however, this was in the context of a discussion of biodiversity in Ethiopia, where the plant apparently has a different name. This whole page seems a farrago of nonsense and unrelated trivia. It might be best just to delete it and start over. Mangoe 13:02, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

• Suggestion Create new disambig page Rehan, with links to name,place and plant. However none of the rest have articles of their own, so it would be best to redirect this page to Artemisia rehan, as suggested by Murgh. Rest of the content can be removed. Regards, xC | ☎ 07:58, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

• Rename and edit. Eurgh, it's a mess. I go with the previous suggestion to make a disambiguation page (and check sources). "Rayhan" does appear to refer to basil, specifically sweet basil, and not Holy Basil. Tearlach 01:30, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
• Move, as per Murgh above. The article is a mess as-is. Lankiveil 10:36, 13 May 2007 (UTC).
• Rename maybe as a disambiguation page per above --Infrangible 01:48, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
• Move, per Murgh. Some of the items listed are simply dictionary entries and may need to be transwiki'd.DewiMorgan 17:44, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
