What the article is describing is the Night of Power. Whether this is a legitimate name for it is another question. If it is, redirect, but I don't think it is, so delete. PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:42, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't changed my mind. How is this different from the subject we already cover? PARAKANYAA (talk) 23:34, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - in its original state, the article contained three references, none of which mentioned Al-'Ashr al-Awakher at all. Since nomination at AfD, the creating editor has added a rough translation from the urwiki article, but I am not sure what to make of the references that are now there - they look like primary sources to me, but my knowledge of Islam is quite poor. In any case, although my WP:BEFORE searches turned up references to the last ten nights of Ramadan and that the Night of Power occurs within that period (so the topic is possibly notable), I could find nothing linking the phrase Al-'Ashr al-Awakher with it at all.

Keep - The first version of the article was incomplete, I've improved it now, so I think it should keep. Leo^talk 10:41, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep seems notable but sources can be improved. Mainly primary sources at the moment. Needs secondary sourcing. Ramos1990 (talk)

Comment - to expand on my previous delete recommendation, I could find no WP:SIGCOV of either Al-'Ashr al-Awakher or last ten nights of Ramadan in secondary sources: there are plenty of passing mentions, but only in the context of the Night of Power or I'tikāf, both of which are already the subject of articles. The current article, a rough translation of mentions in primary religious sources, should not be kept. SunloungerFrog (talk) 09:09, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This seems like a promotional article. It says they are the best for worship and good deeds. An editor from Mars (talk) 07:00, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The topic doesn't appear to be independently notable. Cortador (talk) 09:36, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Ramadan or to Night of Power. Per nom, this article fails WP:GNG, and as such, should not be a standalone entry. All the references appear to be WP:PRIMARY, and I couldn't find any notable sources otherwise.--DesiMoore (talk) 17:24, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. Ramadan is not really my area of expertise, but a redirect to Night of Power seems better than a full delete to me right now. Relinus (talk) 19:54, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
