Speedy deletion per WP:CSD#G4 was declined on the grounds that the current version had addressed the underlying concern of the last afd. This is not the case. He has still yet to play in a fully pro league (his one appearance against Levski Sofia was a friendly match), and the coverage he has received is still insufficient to meet WP:GNG.

The article should be deleted according to notability for events, as this type of incident have occurred in Bangladesh many times and it's lasting effect is yet a matter of doubt. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information or a news service. Wikinews offers a place where editors can document current news events. Tanweertalk 23:00, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. as the notability of current controversy is very high and meets WP:GNG. Also the author of the article has only given summary of the incident that could be added to the encyclopedia as happened before in various controversies. The article seems to be attacked by various editors for its contents by looking at previous deletion nomination history, but wikipedia is not censored as per WP:NOTCENSORED and it may emerge highly notable and require to follow WP:RAPID. -Abhilashkrishn (talk) 02:31, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

How is it "entirely different" from this article?--Zayeem (talk) 09:20, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment This is a highly notable event and not a rumor. Government of Bangladesh has already formed a committee to probe this event. Also this article entirely meets WP:GNG. Wikipedia cannot be work for the interest of a specific people and it is not censored as per WP:NOTCENSORED. - Abhilashkrishn (talk) 22:03, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That's not the point. Notability of an event cannot be judged only through WP:GNG, news agencies tend to cover some insignificant news for their sensationalism (as I've given an example in my last post). WP:NEVENT requires an event to have a national impact and lasting effect, both of which are absent for this topic.--Zayeem (talk) 09:20, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • This event has national impact and covered by leading newspaper agencies. As stated in my earlier comment, Government of Bangladesh has formed a committee to probe this event. If it is a mere rumor, the government would not probe this case. Also, the event state is highly changing and may require to put {{currentevent}} tag for informing the readers about its changing nature. -  abhilashkrishn talk 09:57, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The question is only of Dhaka Education Board which is one of 8 regional education boards in Bangladesh. Where is the national impact? --Zayeem (talk) 10:09, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • As you delivered in the wiki link, Dhaka Education Board is responsible for all public schools in Dhaka, which is capital of Bangladesh. Also Dhaka Education Board used to conduct largest exams in Bangladesh. Majority of students in Bangladesh are learning under the Dhaka Education Board, this undoubtedly clinches the significance of this article. -  abhilashkrishn talk 13:37, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Dhaka Education Board used to conduct largest exams in Bangladesh. Majority of students in Bangladesh are learning under the Dhaka Education Board - any source for this claim? Even if it's true, it is still a regional education board, so doesn't have any national impact.--Zayeem (talk) 16:23, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Source? Yes, although sorting out the number of students in individual boards in Bangladesh is very cumbersome activity from PDF file provided in Board website, one independent source has done that work on 2012.[1] In spite of that, a small googling of the number of admission to Dhaka Educational Board and number of scholarships to board will authenticate my earlier statement.
Even if it's true, it is still a regional education board, so doesn't have any national impact. - Matters related to Dhaka Educational Board do come under national impact even though this board is one of the prominent boards in Bangladesh. The notability of this event is not only due to the fact that this event affected majority of students in Bangladesh, but also central government itself seriously involved in this case. If you are still under the impression that; this article does not have any significance and should be deleted, you might want to check the other articles in wikipedia like University_of_Illinois_clout_scandal , University_of_Bristol_admissions_controversy and Kanawha_County_textbook_controversy that did not have national level impact but still considers notable under WP:GNG. -  abhilashkrishn talk 10:26, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Wordpress is not a reliable source. The articles you are showing appear to have lasting effect which is not present in this case.--Zayeem (talk) 10:58, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I know. But I have not used it to cite the article. As the demographical distribution of students in various boards only can be calculated through the PDF files listed in the board website, there is no other way to get the numbers. But you could always refer the board website for the details. Can you show the lasting effects on that articles and ineffectiveness of this article? You have to first remember that this is a current event and it's changing nature cannot be predicted now. - abhilashkrishn talk 11:34, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well, you are talking from your own research which is of no value, please provide some reliable sources to support your claim.--Zayeem (talk) 12:11, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No, I am not claiming anything. My entire point was the significance of this article and doesn't have to prove the number of students studying in Dhaka board and the source itself is offline. Offline sources need not be available online and you could always refer HSC result of 2013. Anyway, our discussion point is not that. -  abhilashkrishn talk 12:23, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article does not have any useful information and violates and should be deleted upon patent nonsense, under the Wikipedia deletion policy filed under A1 (patent nonsense) as it has no useful or relevant information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ronjacksonjohn (talkcontribs) 01:32, 25 May 2014‎

"Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion." (WP:NOTNEWS)
"News organizations have criteria for content, i.e. news values, that differ from the criteria used by Wikipedia and encyclopedias generally. A violent crime, accidental death, or other media events may be interesting enough to reporters and news editors to justify coverage, but this will not always translate into sufficient notability for a Wikipedia article." (WP:EVENT)
Bear in mind that this, though a crime, a news sensation, a tragedy and an outrage, is still common in Bangladesh. (see this and [this for instance) Aditya(talkcontribs) 19:27, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Prod declined on the grounds that "everyone knows it" and "it's unreferenced but it's helpful", so coming here to do it the hard way. For something "everyone knows", I certainly don't know it and nor does teh interwebz - and for something on a popular-culture related topic in an English speaking country to generate zero Ghits is beyond implausible. Even if a source could be found, I very much doubt that this could ever be considered a notable term, and at most would warrant an "also known as..." at NODD.  Mogism (talk) 19:21, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hang on. It went CSD and I deliberately recreated it to PROD it, then the PROD is not even discussed? What's going on, who is up their own ahem? I mostly gnome at RfD. It is for you to show me that it is unhelpful, not the other way around. I thought we were here to help readers find information that they are looking for. It is referenced by the way (albeit not well), another editor has added one: quod erat demonstrandum: that is because we make a start and then improve. It's already been marked with a TV stub for example. I'll take it to admin abuse, then. I am a good-faith editor trying to make it better for our readers; not sure what you are doing. Si Trew (talk) 19:59, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have no idea what you mean by "It went CSD and I deliberately recreated it to PROD it, then the PROD is not even discussed?" or "I'll take it to admin abuse". No, we're not here to help readers find information that they are looking for - we're not Wikia. We're here to provided referenced information on notable topics, and if you want something to be on Wikipedia it's down to you to provide evidence of both.
Someone hasn't "added a reference", they've added a YouTube clip of Breakfast Time with no apparent relevance other than being on BBC1. If you're so confident you can find references for this, why have you not managed to find one? Mogism (talk) 20:18, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If we are not here to help readers find the information they are looking for, what are we here for then? To examine our own backsides? This is why we have {{refimprove}} and {{unreferenced}} and so on: we make a start and others will bung in as they have done numerous times in the past. I live a thousand miles away from the UK and it is hard for me to find references: I actually checked the BBC Breakfast Time reference did you? Others probably can do so more easily: I can only do what I can. I do a lot of Hungarian articles on English Wikipedia because mirabile dictu I am in Hungary and I can; which improves the encylopaedia. I can't even get BBCtv. In fact I can't gat any TV. Now, stop abusing me on my talk page please. Si Trew (talk) 20:37, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Where have I "abused you on your talk page"?
"Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it" is one of Wikipedia's core policies. Again, if you think this could ever meet WP:V and WP:N, find even one reference. Mogism (talk) 20:46, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
What do you think hassling another good-faith editor is apart from abuse? How would you describe it: good-natured debate or something? Doesn't seem like it to me. Si Trew (talk) 20:50, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Because WP:RS also applies if you want: and how many thousands of articles have not got RS. I add them to make them RS and V and N. And thousands of articles are not RS or V or N but that is WP:NOTFINISHED. Don't start talking to me about "policy": start trying to make the encyclopaedia better. Si Trew (talk) 20:56, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Where am I "hassling" you? I've made three posts to your talk in my entire life: two notifications, and one reply to a bizarre comment from you about my supposed "admin rights".
This discussion is clearly not going anywhere, and I'm not going to engage with you any further if you're going to post nonsense like "Tell me where you live and we will fight it out man to man". Feel free to try to convince anyone else who turns up to this AFD that the references exist. Mogism (talk) 21:02, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, unsourced and not notable enough for a stand-alone article. The creator's hand-waving above doesn't carry conviction. We do have an article about NODD, this content could go there iff sources can be found. Bishonen | talk 10:21, 26 May 2014 (UTC).[reply]
  • Delete. I don't see any evidence that this is notable. We're not a collection of indiscriminate information. We do have inclusion criteria, and this does not seem to meet them. "It's useful" is an argument to avoid. I can't find any reliable sources that discuss this, but if any do show up, the article can be recreated. A YouTube video, however, is not good enough.

  • Keep All - Upon reviewing the sources in some of these articles, some of the tours actually do appear to have received WP:SIGCOV in multiple, reliable sources. It would be better to assess each article more closely and perform sources searches as suggested in section D of WP:BEFORE, after which time then renominate those that haven't received SIGCOV accordingly. Those that actually don't meet notability guidelines could be merged to List of Luther Vandross tours. NorthAmerica1000 07:18, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • I hate the use of this BEFORE essay that implies the research hasn't been done. Can you please show which of these tours have received said coverage about the tours that aren't simply local reviews? They have been reviewed, so if I missed them, you should be able to point them out. Thargor Orlando (talk) 18:06, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • merge/redirect all to Luthor Vandross. Saying a tour happened, and here were the dates/locations is not of encyclopedic value. Give a sentence or two about each tour in the main article. That is sufficient, unless there is significant commentary/content on one of them.

How about the notion of merging to List of Luther Vandross tours? NorthAmerica1000 11:28, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Basically a permastub that I'd argue should merge into Luther Vandross if this content is kept in any form. Thargor Orlando (talk) 13:23, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The list of tours is more feasible than all these individual articles; which really need to be put somewhere, rather than continuing to stand alone. Upon reconsideration I will amend my merge above to reflect the list as my preference. I do hope the list can be expanded with more text and sources to fend off the permastub declaration. Fylbecatulous talk 13:39, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG. Vaypertrail (talk) 17:28, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment (Actual vote cast lower down on page) Much of the content on this age appears to be copied from the Left 4 Dead wiki. The specific page can be found here [11]. Just to be thorough, I ran this article and the Left 4 Dead Wiki article through the Duplication Detector. The results can be seen here [12], but it basically shows that much of the article is a word for word match of the Left 4 Dead article. There also seems to be extensive copying from "The Infected" page [13] (specific sections copied shown here [14]) as well as the "NPCs" page [15] (with specific coping shown here [16]). The Left 4 Dead wiki does not receive any attribution in the reference area nor in the talk page. I haven't been able to find what specific licensing the Left 4 Dead wiki is under, but this article should be considered a massive copyright violation if the Left 4 Dead wiki is not under creative commons or another compatible license. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 05:31, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Most Wikias are cc-by-sa, and the L4D Wikia is the same (see the bottom footer), so no copyvio issues there. The copy/paste should be attributed somewhere, though. @Vaypertrail, can you say more about why it fails the GNG, like what part or why? czar  17:12, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, though while not (adding) a copyvio, there's extremely little of the content from Wikia that I would assume survive a proper rewrite to necessitate the need to keep that revision history. --MASEM (t) 21:52, 26 May 2014 (UTC) (clarified statement that not a copyvio --MASEM (t) 04:46, 27 May 2014 (UTC))[reply]
Wow, I did not notice that footer. Thanks for finding it. While the copyright issue is easily cleaned up (just add attribution in the talk page and reference everything), this article still has serious flaws. Specifically, most of the content is Left 4 Dead cruft. This level of detail is certainly appropriate when writing a wiki about the Left 4 Dead franchise, but not appropriate for Wikipeda.

The result was keep. While consensus is not a vote, a majority support either unequivocally keeping, or keeping or merging, while only a few support merging.

It would seem that the article fails to suffice WP:NOTABILITY. It is one of the various Ukraine related articles that are being created daily. WP is NOTNEWS and although notable at the time of the event we cannot create separate articles for every single checkpoint attack throughout this crisis. I appreciate that there was loss of life, however I don't feel that this alone is sufficient for a separate article. Lunch for Two (talk) 14:40, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think that is the best option. Lunch for Two (talk) 02:13, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That might be messy. The Donetsk People's Republic article is already crowded with a lot about the history of this conflict, mostly because the split proposal (to article about the conflict and article about DPR) has failed. It it hadn't, maybe then it would have been a good idea to merge this to the article about the conflict. Feon {t/c} 19:40, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think we should keep it for now. Although Wikipedia isn't a news website, it does include articles about attacks and ambushes. It may turn out to be non-notable, but for now we should let it stand. We can delete it later is necessary. B14709 (talk) 16:07, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I would just like to remind everyone that WP:NOTNEWSPAPER and that press coverage is not the final arbiter of notability. Lunch for Two (talk) 06:36, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There is a difference between routine news reporting on things like announcements, sports, or celebrities which is not a sufficient basis for inclusion on Wikipedia per its policy (WP:NOTNEWSPAPER), and a military battle that has resulted in the largest loss of life for one side in an ongoing conflict. EkoGraf (talk) 07:13, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This event is no Siege of Sloviansk or 2 May 2014 Odessa clashes in its notability. That the media is no longer reporting this suggests that this is of insufficient notability. Furthermore, this is one of a series of articles (Rubizhne Attack 2014 Kharkiv RSA raid Kramatorsk Ambush List of states that declared independence during the unrest in East Ukraine) all created by the same user that end up being redirected due to lack of notability. We cannot have an individual article on every single occurrence that is happening in Ukraine. Lunch for Two (talk) 13:57, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Why would they continue to report on it when it was a one-day battle? If you check other war articles you would see you got hundreds, if not thousands, of articles on battles that happened only during one day. And I agree we do not need an article for every single occurrence, but this was not just simply an occurrence. Also, the track record of another editor on his article redirects isn't really an argument. In any case, we will see what is the opinion of other editors. EkoGraf (talk) 17:11, 27 May 2014 kept.
Again that is simply not true. This is just one of many skirmishes happening in East Ukraine at the moment. In the last few days we have had a more serious skirmish, which is of greater notability than this incidence yet is nonetheless being incorporated into the parent articles, which is where this too belongs. Lunch for Two (talk) 11:14, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - as article creator, meets WP:CREATIVE, "person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work", both with Oh My God and The Hunger Games. Has also won numerous awards at important film festivals. GiantSnowman 14:27, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to the shooting article. He worked on two movies (one as assistant director) and has won a handful of unremarkable awards from local film festivals. I guess it could really go either way, but due to the lack of anything super strong I'm suggesting a redirect. wirenote (talk) 14:40, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The awards from those festivals are not notable. He has a handful of minor ones; so what? His body of work is not significant. (By the way, he was the assistant director of the second unit on THG, which is far less significant than the main assistant director). wirenote (talk) 15:22, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
He was "best director", how is that a non-notable award? GiantSnowman 15:24, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I have added a link to the Saatchi Gallery which states he is an "award-winning director and photographer" - furthermore his official website states he has written 8 screenplays (with 3 to be directed by him) and he has also published a book. I have not included that information in the article as I cannot currently find a third-party source to verify. GiantSnowman 15:18, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Dennis Brown: well there are other sources such as this and this which give a bit more info but I'm not sure if they are RS or not. There are going to be other, better sources out there, it's just hard to find them as internet search results are being skewed given recent events. Please also note I am going on holiday for a week vey shortly so won't be able to look any further... GiantSnowman 15:34, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. He is in a terrible position personally right now. I think his son's actions should be irrelevant to this discussion. At this point we can confirm that he directed one notable documentary that received substantial coverage. I don't think that we usually consider second-unit direction to convey notability, even on a film as prominent as Hunger Games. He appears to have a long track record working in commercials. I would find this easier to deal with if there were any independent confirmation of some of the "awards": I couldn't find any, and I note that no awards are listed on his IMDb page. I do agree that if this is redirected, the correct place would be Oh My God (2009 film). --Arxiloxos (talk) 19:02, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Meets WP:GNG and WP:N, has received multiple awards for his work. No notability is inherited, as the article does not significantly discuss his son. He does not need to be the primary subject of the reliable sources for it to be considered coverage. STATic message me! 19:39, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep this article is overdue given his contributions to an award-winning film. On what grounds would this be considered for deletion? Because his son was crazy? What difference does that makes? Bangabandhu (talk) 20:34, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep the person has only been given an article now that his eldest son went on a murder spree. Had this not happened, he may not have gotten an article. He seems like a big-time producer of some renown and based on this I'd say notability can and has been established outside the actions of his son. However the article is very short as it is. I believe an image and some more lines, a more complete biography and such is needed to improve the article. It's too much of a stub now, and I would like to see if it can be improved because in it's current form I am leaning towards deletion. Mythic Writerlord (talk) 20:55, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep While he didn't have an article before his son's shooting spree, I agree with Mythic Writerlord above; his career with Hollywood films seems to have established some notability for him. Canuck89 (converse with me) 21:29, May 25, 2014 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep Meets criteria for [[WP:CREATIVE]. Peter Rodger has contributed to cinematic arts and with highly acclaimed films. The article does need more development/contributions of his work and life. TalkAbout (talk) 21:27, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fails Wikipedia:Notability (organizations). Minor coverage by Variety and Zawya, niche trade magazines. Per Wikipedia:Notability (universities), I think this fails the auto-notability we extend to universities as it is not really a university, just some for-profit school. Sources describe the offerings as "a series of intensive hands-on film production workshops", and it doesn't seem that the students will get any degree that matters (either for any employer, or more importantly for us, anything that would allow us to classify this as a serious degree-granting institution). In other words - a spammy, promotional entry. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:53, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to Robert Tutak, the founder (Tutak isn't very notable but his films got some press). I can't find sufficient evidence of notability for this institute: there is some coverage in middle eastern press about it setting up schools in the region, but nothing going into much depth. As already identified, this is not a well-written, encyclopedic article. And it isn't an officially accredited higher education institution such that it would be automatically notable.

Lack of notability. Boulden has a job that puts him on TV, but it doesn't make him notable. I can find mentions of him in reliable sources doing his job, but the coverage isn't about him.

Now I appreciate the album didn't make the UK Top 100 Albums for a given week, but it is an album by a recognised and respected UK rapper, and the album also contains 3 songs that charted, one of which was very successful making the Top 20.

By the way, I do believe that Hadith as Scripture: Discussions on the Authority of Prophetic Traditions in Islam is a secondary source. Mustadrak al-Hakim is both primary because it is a collection of hadith, and secondary because it constitutes a commentary on those hadith. --Bejnar (talk) 00:53, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The Hadith as Scripture book is only listed as further reading though; it isn't actually cited for anything in the article. As for Mustadrak, then I have never owned a copy as it's a big book but it is always referred to as a collection rather than a commentary. Are you sure that it does contain actual commentary on the contents of the hadiths? If it just contains his verdict on whether or not he thinks it's authentic, then it absolutely is a primary source only just like the Six Books for Sunnis or Four Books for Shias. A proper commentary would be like Fath al-Bari of Ibn Hajr, which could be a secondary source, but a simply collection wherein the author says "I think this hadith is inauthentic due to X, Y and Z" then that's a textbook example of primary source religious material in Islam. MezzoMezzo (talk) 05:12, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The article now cites two additional secondary sources. I do not find the article to be significantly tainted with original research. When looking for substantiation of the statements in the article, I find it. Yes, the article could use work. As the article is confusing, I can understand why the nominator might have thought that it was synthesis, but the debate between the Sunni and the Shia over the authenticity of Quran and Sunnah as a hadith is very real, and that is the topic of the article, as hidden as that may be. --Bejnar (talk) 00:50, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I must admit User:Bejnar, while I respect your view and am delighted that a discussion is finally happening, I am a bit perplexed by that view. The two sources you added are absolutely irrelevant to proving the notability of this subject. The first one simply stated that the Sunnah is a thing, and as I explained at the first AfD this article isn't about the Sunnah in general, it's about one specific supposed statement attributed to Muhammad. The second source you added then essentially supports the same thing, just explaining what a hadith is. Neither source bears any relation to this specific hadith at all, and so I once again must reiterate: notability of this topic has not been sufficiently altered in any way and is still totally unsupported. I hope my language doesn't come off as standoffish; it's not a serious, Wikipedia-threatening issue, I just don't see how this is notable (or how the article isn't just a bunch of OR). MezzoMezzo (talk) 04:00, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This hadith is notable because (1) it is a saying of Muhammad that is basic to the two source belief of followers of Islam; and (2) because it has generated a controversy that has lasted centuries and has lots of commentary in secondary sources. Now to non-Muslims it may seem ludicrous to argue the superiority and authenticity of the two hadith, since the result seems to be so similar, but consider how the controversies between what became Orthodox Christian belief and Arianism or Monophysitism might look to an outsider. --Bejnar (talk) 06:21, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I not quite sure where the other problems that you are having lie. There are two closely related hadith, one (2 weighty things) for which Wikipedia has an article entitled Hadith of the two weighty things, and a second hadith known colloquially as "Quran and Sunnah", which in one of its many expressions is: I have left among you two matters by holding fast to which, you shall never be misguided: the Book of God and my Sunna. attributed to Muhammad. This second hadith is not universally accepted. Although there are noted scholars who do accept it, and there are footnotes to their works, see FN 10-12. Acceptance of this hadith is a point of controversy between the Shia and the Sunni. The editor of this article tried to present the hadith and the controversy in NPOV terms, but it is obvious to me that he/she basically feels that the "2 weighty things" hadith is more important and should provide all the guidance that is necessary for the faithful. The result seems to have been a lack of clarity. This is not OR, the scholars do discuss the authenticity of this hadith and the reasons for supporting it or not. Unfortunately, the article, in my opinion, currently gives undue weight to the "2 weighty things" hadith. I tried in my two edits to give some of the background, but maybe it would be better to strip out about half of the "2 weighty things" discussion and start the lead as: Quran and Sunnah is a saying attributed to Muhammad (a hadith), namely I have left among you two matters by holding fast to which, you shall never be misguided: the Book of God and my Sunna. Cite: Mālik and Medina: Islamic Legal Reasoning in the Formative Period. p. 95. The authenticity of this hadith is rejected by many Shi'a. The concept itself is not rejected, as most Muslims hold that Islam is derived from two sources: one being infallible and containing compressed information — the Qur'an — and another being a detailed explanation of the everyday application of the principles established in the Qur'an: The Sunnah, or the living example of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.FN1 What makes you think that this article is original research? --Bejnar (talk) 06:21, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for responding User:Bejnar, this is actually one of the more interesting discussions on AfDs lately. Anyway, my main objection is to proof of notability. If Muslim scholars discuss this hadith so much, then where is the proof? The sources you provide talk about hadith and sunnah in general, not this specific one. We only have one secondary source mentioning this hadith at all. That isn't notable.
The authenticity of it isn't for us editors to delve into, which is why much of this consists of OR. The collections of Nishaburi and Hakim, for example, are primary sources, not secondary; they cannot be used on their own to establish a point without reliable secondary sources to support what is being written. Additionally, even if we did want to perform OR here, this is amateurish. Quoting Ihkam and Tamhid and calling it a day isn't how it works; the takhrij of one hadith can occupy an entire book, especially one on a contentious issue. So this isn't just OR relying totally on primary sources, but it's also bad OR. Wait I'm at work gotta go ttyl MezzoMezzo (talk) 07:42, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry about that, duty called. Anyway I kind of lost my train of thought but the gist of it is that I don't think primary source material like the Mustadrak or Tamhid can establish notability, and right now I'm only seeing one secondary source which is actually relevant to the topic. If I am mistaken - and that is possible - then I will gladly withdraw the nomination, but right now I just don't see this passing WP:GNG. MezzoMezzo (talk) 08:33, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The authenticity of it isn't for us editors to delve into, except for reporting the opinions of others, since the controversy being reported on is about "authenticity". As editors we don't make a ruling, we just report, but that usually means reporting the arguments on both sides, which usually requires delving. --Bejnar (talk) 14:15, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Does @MezzoMezzo: regard a source that reports on a hadith as a primary source? How about if the source says "X reports that Y reports that Z said"? --Bejnar (talk) 14:50, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hey User:Bejnar, it isn't really what I consider a primary source or not. This isn't a matter of opinion. Mustadrak of Hakim, for example, is where hadith come from, no different than Sahih al-Bukhari. Those are the actual books of hadith, which renders them primary like the Qur'an. Quoting books of hadith alone with no secondary source is like using the Talmud as a citation for Judaic articles.
Now, books like Ihkam are a different story. Ihkam is a derivitave work so it's secondary, but it's also a thousand years old. Quoting that one book in which that one author says a given hadith is authentic isn't how a professional muhaddith supports an argument in favor of the authenticity of a hadith, especially in 2014. There have been another thousand years of study done on most other hadith and the literature review alone could theoretically occupy quite a bit of space. Which goes back to my original point: I think this is OR, and if I am correct, it isn't even quality OR.
Keep in mind, even if the hadith isn't authentic, it can still be notable. Wikipedia allows articles on all sorts of things not considered to be true like bigfoot, so an inauthentic hadith would be no different. Which brings me back to a point I had wanted to make earlier: I don't think authenticity is the issue here, I think notability is. MezzoMezzo (talk) 03:19, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@MezzoMezzo: May I assume that you have looked at the discussion of this hadith in Mālik and Medina: Islamic Legal Reasoning in the Formative Period? --Bejnar (talk) 03:53, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@MezzoMezzo: Ignoring OR for the moment, if notability is your concern, see my comments above of 06:21, 25 May 2014. --Bejnar (talk) 03:53, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hey User:Bejnar, indeed I did scan it, but it's one source. Can notability really be established with mention in one source? MezzoMezzo (talk) 04:14, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Who is saying "one source"? You already mentioned Ihkam above, and I assume that you have not read the introduction to Dogan's Islamic Law with the Quran and Sunnah Evidences, since the book is new and not widely held. (£28.58 + postage from a reseller at Amazon). I have also added a citation to a book by Muhammad Hisham Kabbani to the article. That one you may be able to find in a nearby library or school. See also the discussion of this hadith with regard to shariah which I have added to the article, in particular the discussion in Ali's The Position of Women in Islam. --Bejnar (talk) 18:49, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, you added three new sources in the past day or so. Correct, I haven't heard of the Dogan work nor am I familiar with Kabbani's written work in comparison to audio and video of him. But are these passing mentions, references to other topics like two of the sources already in the article, or the real deal? Can you give me a day or so while I look it up just to see for sure? MezzoMezzo (talk) 03:24, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, in fact I am supposed to be on-the-road for the next week, with iffy Internet access. But I think that I have just scratcched the surface of modern secondary sources. The problem seems to be an absence of good search terms. I came across Ali's The Position of Women in Islam by happenstance. --Bejnar (talk) 16:48, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well User:Bejnar, the discussion was already relisted four days ago and it was the second time so it might not be listed again before being closed. To avoid a "no consensus" result (which could mean someone else renominates it in the future), I would be willing to withdraw the nomination (and it would appear as such, defending the article to an extent) if you tell me you're absolutely sure the secondary sources you have found, some of which are quite new, push the topic past WP:GNG. You're a respected editor and if you will go on the record here saying that point blank, I would withdraw the nomination in recognition of that and somewhere down the road we could work on the article. This is if you're absolutely sure that the topic is notable as proven by secondary sources and should not be renominated later, as a "withdraw" result would be a better ending in that case. MezzoMezzo (talk) 04:04, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Yes, I am convinced that the existing secondary sources provide acceptable coverage for WP:GNG. I still have other books on order via interlibrary loan, that I hope will add additional substance, but that are not necessary to provide Wikipedia notability. I also look forward to redoing the Shia section which is particularly perverse (full of extraneous arguments about 2 weighty things that belong in that article, if anywhere). As I mentioned I may be off the air for a bit starting tomorrow (Friday). --Bejnar (talk) 10:55, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep'. The deletion nominator has not asserted wp:BEFORE is met, and in similar nominations, including others solidly kept, the nominator has refused to answer the question of whether they tried to assess notability. It is not a requirement that every article has a plethora of sources; stubs with no sources are allowed in wikipedia; whether a topic is notable or not is a different question, not yet explored here. I am not personally into articles on bands and hope others more knowledgeable will comment. But a moment's search finds this Examiner.Com profile article (hmm, Examiner .Com is blocked for some reason, so to see, drop the "Q" after "www." and the "Q" after "examiner." in the URL) for another source to add to what is in the article. --doncram 23:38, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I'm not finding much in the way of sources. The only good one on the page itself is the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, which would be considered local coverage. The link to the issue of Music Connection Magazine is broken, but I wouldn't consider coming in 3rd on a list of unsigned bands to contribute much to notability anyway, and mere presence on a list isn't what I would call significant coverage (though if there was more coverage than a ranking and a blurb, maybe, but I doubt there was because a search of the magazine's own site brought up zilch). The rest is promotional/sales links and scattered music blogs. — Gwalla | Talk 02:57, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
