:({{Find sources|Hadith regarding the use of Nikah Mut'ah after Muhammad}})

While the hadith can be found on polemical sites, there are no reliable sources in English which I could find in regard to this specific hadith. All sources are primary except for one link to Answering-Ansar, a highly partisan site promoting a sectarian POV; it fails WP:RS, leaving the rest of the article with only primary sources. One of them - where Ibn Kathir supposedly said Ahmad Ibn Hanbal agreed with Nikah mut'ah - appears to be a blatant lie though I will have to check. In addition to failing WP:GNG, this also seems to be another one of Striver's trove of random articles about hadith used to push a Shi'ite slant - most of which have been deleted in past AfDs.

Striver was a good editor overall, but the general outcomes for AfDs regarding his hadith articles was usually to delete. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hadith of the demise of Muhammad, in which a large number of them were all deleted at one time, is a good indicator. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hadith in praise of Umar, Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Striver/Umar's raid against Ahl al-Bayt, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The land of Fadak and the Prophets inheritance and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ali opposed Abu Bakrs Kalifat. A great many more were simply redirected to other articles without formal deletion. I don't see why this article is any different. MezzoMezzo (talk) 07:12, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

:*Could you provide a rationale for keeping it? Per WP:CLOSEAFD, an AfD is closed based on the soundness of arguments, not a tally of votes. MezzoMezzo (talk) 05:19, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

:*Query There is no significant coverage in mainstream, scholarly publications; this article is the result of the OR of one user. What exactly makes it important? I'm not arguing, I'm asking honestly. I didn't find any significant coverage from reliable sources, and we know for a fact that per WP:OUTCOMES that the community has noticed attempts by the creator (who again was overall a great contributor, he just had some OR issues) to push a certain POV. I'm open to the fact that it could be important but I need to see more proof, as I haven't seen any yet. MezzoMezzo (talk) 04:18, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
