[edit] Sahaba's ancestors

Sahaba article would be dominated by this list. --Striver 16:16, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Sorry, JerseyDevil, but this is a useful referent to a large set of Muslim pages. Therefore, it is not an indiscriminate collection of information. I'm going to have to go with rename, keep and cleanup on this one. Alba 23:25, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep it seems to be usefull for readers. But current design is not easy to understand --Ugur Basak 01:28, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete and merge to Sahaba - No consensus in AfD doesn't set precedents and neither does a category created within 10 minutes of nomination of this article. The Sahaba are notable for their association with the Prophet Muhammad but that doesn't mean their ancestry also becomes notable. It would be better for Striver to focus his attentions away from creating single-person family trees and move towards creating a dynastic family tree centred on the first five leaders of the Muslim community - the Prophet Muhammad and the four Rightly Guided Caliphs. I suggest the Family tree of the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt as a guide to how such a family tree should be portrayed. Focus Striver, focus! Green Giant 01:49, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Yes, their ancestry is also notable, you can often find the patronymics for up to 5-6 generations going back. --Striver 19:03, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete and merge to Sahaba as above. Separate family tree nodes for each person are hard to read, better in their proper context, i.e. the person's entry. Maybe separate family tree for very notable families (families, NOT people, and very notable.) Weregerbil 12:31, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete and merge to Sahaba as above. MaNeMeBasat 07:02, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep because it's too large for the Sahaba article. --a.n.o.n.y.m t 20:43, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete WP:NOT keeps slipping into WP:Didn't used to be. — Mar. 29, '06 [06:52] <freakofnurxture|talk>
