Do we want to list ALL the ayatollahs, or just those living? You're looking at a list that's much longer than the one here.
- All the ones worthy of an encyclopedia article on them. We may need to separate them into Grand Ayatollahs and Ayatollahs later when the list grows. roozbeh 11:40, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)
Another is we should make something like a family tree who was the teacher of who up to the time of Imams. 129.130.15.91 02:08, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
In Robert Fisk's book, "The Great War for Civilization", he talks about an Ayatollah Abul Qassim Kashani. He implies Kashani was a possible future leader of Iran, though he says Kashani's capability to command a mass movement is disputed. Not sure if this possibly-alternate-Khomeini thing warrants his presence on this list, but I thought I would raise it for other, better informed people to consider. (Mentioned in Chapter 4, The Carpet-Weavers, pg. 98 - in U.S. edition).
- He's already on the list: Ayatollah Abol-Ghasem Kashani.--Zereshk 08:05, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
There is a wiki list of Grand Ayatollahs: I think the Ayatollah list should not include Grand Ayatollahs.
Ok, I will remove the grand ones. --Gerash77 22:34, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
I also demoted "Ayatollah Sam Linnett" -- after more than a month on the list!--Gerash77 22:47, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Syed Aqeel-ul-Gharavi
Aqeel-ul-Gharavi is not an Ayatollah. If you want to prove otherwise, then the "burden of proof" is upon you to prove that he is. Thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lakhnavi (talk • contribs) 15:56, 16 April 2007 (UTC).
