257:- Like most articles created by Striver this will require more work, but why shouldn't a controversial piece of theological literature make a good topic for an encyclopedia article? Talk about its creation, its author, its reception, the history of its transmission, its theological significance, the dispute over its authenticity... whatever. But of course the text itself shouldn't be presented and discussed in such detail, that's for wikisource.
200:
than this, and the information you have newly added is a series of quotes by
Islamic scholars saying the sermon is authentic. This doesn't matter! The only reason for this sermon to be mentioned is as a small note in Ali's entry, in helping to describe his struggle to succeed Muhammed. Therefore this article does not need to exist.
132:
Mr
Striver, I appreciate your attempts to save this article, but what you have added ("the authenticity contravers") does not add anything to the content. It is paragraph after paragraph of other people saying the sermon was real. There is no information about the sermon itself, because there cannot
280:
There aren't many people that care to write articles about old islamic scholars, except for the really, really, really notable ones. The article is listing like a thousand years old scholars that are not in the top brass, and they dont have articles doesn't mean they are non-notable, just that they
122:
What you have provided is not any information about the sermon itself, but about its authenticity. I am not doubting that the sermon was delivered, I don't have the expertise to know whether it was or not. What I am saying is that, stripped of its vast and myriad references, this article is nothing
270:
I don't think, Lukas, that the sermon is as controversial as
Striver is hoping to portray it. I think he has placed every conceivable source he could find on the page, possibly all from al-islam.org... Unfortunately, I can't tell, but the mass of red wikilinks suggests, perhaps, that these authors
199:
The Lord's prayer is not a sermon. It is a prayer. It is a fundamental part of the liturgy of the various
Christian churches. A sermon is a talk on a religious topic. The article does not say that it is a shia prayer, it says that it is a sermon, one delivered by Ali. It does not say anything more
103:
It is a sermon, and the most noteworthy reason for it is "Shi'a believe it proves that Ali wanted to be Caliph." An article cannot go further than this without becoming POV. Therefore any information on it should be added to the Ali page and this article, therefore, should be deleted. Your work on
142:
Bro, give me time, im working on it. And by the way, even if there was nothing more to say about it, the controversy in itself would make it notable. But aside from that, this is one of the most famous sermons, and a sermon notable in itself deserves a article.
152:
Your work is commendable. But this controversy is a minor one. It is not notable to deserve its own article, particularly where the subject cannot take more than a stub's worth of material and is better off in Ali's
