:{{la|Queen Zainab Tari}} ([{{fullurl:Queen Zainab Tari|wpReason={{urlencode: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Queen Zainab Tari}}&action=delete}} delete]) – (View AfD)(View log)

Contested prod/prod2, tags removed with explanation. Unlike most AfDs, I don't have any major concerns with notability. However, this article is horribly horribly unencyclopaedic for all sorts of reasons, the worst two problems being total disregard for Wikipedia's policies on neutral point of view, original research and ownership. If anyone wants to fix this article, I will withdraw this nomination, although this bio might be better placed in the Sumra Dynasty article. However, this article needs a fundamental rewrite to be anywhere near Wikipedia's standards, and I'd rather not do it myself if it means an edit war.

:*This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 17:58, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

  • Keep Notability is asserted amd several print sources are listed. This is not the forum to deal with problems with article ownership. Edward321 (talk) 06:31, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Comment And looking at the article's edit history, there is no article ownership problem either. The only edit the article creator made after creation was removing the Prod. Edward321 (talk) 06:34, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
  • The problem wasn't so much that, it was the header and footer on the original page [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Queen_Zainab_Tari&oldid=274117972] that heavily implied the the article is meant to be attributed to the original author. And, coupled with the big problems on original research and non-neutrality, and the possibility that this would fit better in a larger article, I wasn't sure whether it was worth bothering to try salvaging anything. If people would rather it was salvaged, I'll do that when I've got the time, but my quick assessment it that they'll be hardly anything left after the non-encyclopedic content goes.

:Keep Notability is asserted and several print sources are listed. I know nothing about the subject, but I've removed the author's commentary and the worst POV/OR stuff, wikified it a little and added tags for improvement. Deleting the article would lose the information which is there and would not stop an edit war as the article could be recreated. Edgepedia (talk) 09:56, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

:Comment Just a thought, the article does need to be moved to Zainab Tari.

  • Withdraw. Clearly there is a will to salvage this. Unless someone else wants to do this, I'll get to work later removing all of the unverifiable/disputable stuff. Feel free to put back anything you think I snipped over-zealously. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 21:01, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
