Some of the sources are non-academic and "Islam vs Christian" debate site.

Direction?

I do not see the need for dividing all pages relating to hadith into distinct topics with an overwelming amount of overlap. There are pages for hadith, science of hadith, history of hadith... this seems very unnecassary especially when each is incomplete. This page is very similar to the history section on the hadith page. Also, I am very curious to see the reference to the claim that Uthman was the first to order the writen recording of hadith. This is also mentioned at the hadith page... Supertouch (talk) 19:07, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Objectivity?

This article reads like Muslim propaganda. It uses Hadith to argue for the existence of early Hadith. The question is, what is the earliest evidence for the existence of Hadith? And by that I mean something physical that exists which can be dated. Qomak (talk) 12:57, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Furthermore, why is there no documentation of Caliph Hisham's reversal of the ban on writing hadith? Or the burning of hadith by the Prophet's companions?

Why is the other side, backed up with historical documents, not given a say on a public encyclopedia? One just needs to see the references in books by Daniel Brown, Aisha Musa and Kassim Ahmed to understand the debate on historicity.
