This subject of this article is not noteworthy. I question (as have others) even the existence of the feature in question: I call bullshit on this article, and let me tell you, I have seen some questionable and esoteric things in my time... But Teleportation in Islam seriously takes the cake. Ogress smash! 08:21, 23 January 2009 (UTC) Ogress smash! 08:21, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

  • Keep Weird though it is, it is found referred to in books: [http://books.google.com/books?id=P0fkfzq4hUIC&pg=PA140&dq=%22tai+al+ard%22] [http://books.google.com/books?id=cEloAAAAMAAJ&q=%22tay+al+ard%22&dq=%22tay+al+ard%22] and a few esoteric websites. Possibly should be a sub-article in an Islam article, but not bs. Collect (talk) 15:02, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

  • Keep per above. Articles are not deleted because a user "calls bullshit" on it, if verifiable sources mention it. Nobody's saying the phenomenon exists, any more than an article on any other item of faith is advocating its existence.Briangotts (Talk) (Contrib) 16:08, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep - for all the reasons outlined above. Tris2000 (talk) 17:15, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
