[edit] Shia view of the Sahaba

• Delete Like the Sunni version this is also a fork article with some content which could be put into other articles. One source and a long list. Jersey Devil 08:48, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I don't understand the objection to having this as a separate article, unless there is another article giving a comprehensive treatment. While I agree the article is not in good shape, that is a content issue which is not ground for deletion. See also Article spinouts. Lambiam 12:40, 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 17:11, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep This is most definitly not a fork, read Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Islam:The_Shia_Guild#Historical_articles. The nominator have surly afd'd over 15 of the articles created by me so far, none of them have been deleted among the Islamic topics. This would dominate the main article. --Striver 14:14, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
• keep this article is encyclopedic. Niffweed17, Destroyer of Chickens 21:22, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Zain 01:59, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep both. possibly move to Sahaba (Shia) so that it doesnt have "view" in the title -- Astrokey44|talk 02:23, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
