General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: None required.

Overall: According to this check, the article appears to be almost completely copied from this other wiki. I couldn't find out how to view the edit history of that page, and there are no dates on it, so I can't tell if it existed prior to the page here or not. The apparent copyright violation is a huge problem. That needs to be satisfactorily addressed before this nom can proceed any further. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 19:17, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Nihonjoe: Hi, the copyvio situation is the other way around. The other site must be a Wikipedia mirror. Note the identical text, but lack of any indications of sourcing or citations - though I would to say, the rapidity of the plagiarism is enough to throw anybody. As you can see from the edit history of this page, it was built up incrementally through a series of progressive edits. Iskandar323 (talk) 06:12, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Iskandar323: I'll go ahead and AGF since there's no way to check the edit history of the other wiki and because (as you said) this page was built up to what's currently here. Both hooks are good, so we're good to go with the original hook. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 16:55, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Undue key person addition[edit]

@SalamAlayka: The person added in this edit is undue in this religious article. While they may be a key person for the political movements associated with the order, there is no material supporting their position as a key person for the Sufi order as a whole, let alone support for them being on the level as the order's founder or key saints. This needs sources and consensus. Iskandar323 (talk) 13:34, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
