General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: None required.

Overall: According to this check, the article appears to be almost completely copied from this other wiki. I couldn't find out how to view the edit history of that page, and there are no dates on it, so I can't tell if it existed prior to the page here or not. The apparent copyright violation is a huge problem. That needs to be satisfactorily addressed before this nom can proceed any further. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 19:17, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Nihonjoe: Hi, the copyvio situation is the other way around. The other site must be a Wikipedia mirror. Note the identical text, but lack of any indications of sourcing or citations - though I would to say, the rapidity of the plagiarism is enough to throw anybody. As you can see from the edit history of this page, it was built up incrementally through a series of progressive edits. Iskandar323 (talk) 06:12, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Undue key person addition

[edit]

@SalamAlayka: The person added in this edit is undue in this religious article. While they may be a key person for the political movements associated with the order, there is no material supporting their position as a key person for the Sufi order as a whole, let alone support for them being on the level as the order's founder or key saints. This needs sources and consensus. Iskandar323 (talk) 13:34, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
