[edit] Prod

Hi. The prod is unwaranted, a simple google search gives over 200k of hits that firmly establish notability in the exact same field that this valid stub article gives details of. Furhter, the "list" section does the very same thing. Please consider removing the prod. --Striver 05:25, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

  • I will leave this be for now, but I feel that this is a very poor article, and perhaps an unnecessary one. The word evidently means "comment" or "commentary" (although the article does not say that, the list in the sidebar says "comment"). Why is this a special word in Islam? For example, the Christian Gospels are frequently referred to as "The Gospel According to John", "The Gospel According to Luke", etc.... but no one thinks "According" is a special word, just because it appears in the title of some works. This article needs to explain to the non-Muslim why 'sharh' is important. --Brianyoumans 17:40, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
A more appropriate example would be "Commentaries on the Gospel According to Luke". At the very least, the page has a disambiguational functionality that is legitimate, and there is no harm in adding a relevant template and a short explanation to it. --Striver - talk 11:36, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

  • I'm satisfied with the outcome of the AFD; I think this works much better as a disambiguation page. Brianyoumans 07:03, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
