Talk:List of spiritual entities in Islam

Purpose of the article?

That is the difference between a jinn in Islam and a non-Islamic jinn? Also, how does it qualify "types of jinn" in Islam? Here is no source given, as required for an article? Otherwise, I would suggest a deletaion of this article per WP:NDELETE and WP:NRV.

Still, purpose of the article?

Better to speak of spiritual entities in islam in general, than drawing articifial lines between jinn and other creatures, but how does the concent of this article differ from sub-sections of Outline of Islam and List of characters and names mentioned in the Quran?--VenusFeuerFalle (talk) 23:08, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

Reason for removing deletion

@Aspects: What exactly is the reason to remove the suggesed deletion this time? I tried about three times to suggest deletion, everytime the template was removed, without any discussion. What is the reason?--VenusFeuerFalle (talk) 13:22, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

As I stated in my edit summary, "Removed proposed deletion template since the article has been prodded and deprodded in that past." You have added a proposed deletion template four times and after the second and third times were told previously the same thing. You took the first step of WP:AFD twicem but then did not complete any of the future steps, so those templates were removed. If you want to try and get the article deleted, you need to complete all of the steps at WP:AFD. Besides the first proposed deletion, no other editors have removed these templates based on the arguments, but on the process being incorrect or incomplete.

I dont get it. The link says I am supposed to "Put the deletion tag on the article." "Put the deletion tag on the article." "Put the deletion tag on the article.". All of these I did, last time witht he TW, which is supposed to inform the Creator (doing the last step automatically). So what was wrong?--VenusFeuerFalle (talk) 15:34, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

@VenusFeuerFalle: WP:PROD is for deletions which would be relatively uncontroversial. Because another editor disagreed with the deletion and removed the tag, said deletion is by definition not uncontroversial and therefore the same tag cannot be reapplied. Yet you did so three more times.

WP:AFD is a process by which the potential deletion of an article can be discussed by the community. Starting this discussion is a multi-step process, of which tagging the article is but step one. Step two is creating a page on which the discussion is to occur, and providing your justification for deletion. Step three is listing this page with other such discussions for the benefit of those who follow these matters in general. You have done nothing more than Step 1 on two different occasions, and each time you were reverted, with a link to the instructions for fully completing the nomination process in the edit summaries of the reversions.

Personally, I have no opinion on what should be done with the article--I'm only here because this article showed up (twice) on a bot-created page which tracks potentially malformed AfD nominations like this one. It doesn't look like anyone is suggesting you can't or shouldn't nominate the article for deletion. But repeatedly reapplying a proposed deletion tag at this point would be considered disruptive, as would yet again applying an AfD tag without following up with the necessary next steps. Please either do it right, or leave it alone. Thank you. --Finngall ^talk 17:05, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

Vague explanation

The article seems to point that these entities are from the Qur’an. Lots of them are neither mentioned in the Qur’an nor the sunnah. It should be noted in the article that most of these entities are not “Islamic”, because Islam is not a mythology nor a cultural tradition, but a monotheistic religion. A lot of muslims regardless of branches reading this article will definitely comment on this.

It could be from my bias but then again the article doesn’t explain clearly the difference.

Maybe if the author could explain this difference more clearly? Contributions/ ([[User talk:|talk]]) 21:57, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
