Naqshbandi Hussaini Golden Chain

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article created by a repeat sockpuppeteer. There have been no significant edits by anybody else, and no source material I'd trust (two links are to external pages created by the puppeteer). The article is totally tainted by association and lacks any virtue which overcomes that. Bazj (talk) 16:58, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I am not seeing any reliable sources from my numerous newspaper sweeps, including Asia, India, Middle East. But there may be a problem with the name of the article. That is, the topic may be notable, but goes by a different name? This might be a subject which Wikipedia is not really good at covering.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 22:54, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Newspaper sources are not likely for a chain of succession going back to 11 AH = 632 CE. But this is apparently the succession of the leaders of the Naqshbandi, and should be merged in that article, where it is much needed . DGG ( talk ) 22:39, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Sayyid Ghulam Hussain Shah Bukhari. There are several of these lineage articles: Naqshbandi-Haqqani Golden Chain, Naqshbandi Tahiri Golden Chain, and Naqshbandi Golden Chain, which says that each sheikh has his own lineage, so I think it is better to merge with the particular sheikh and not with the order in general. --Cerebellum (talk) 05:43, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: The discussion is leaning toward a merge, but two different merge targets have been presented. Relisting in hopes to obtain more input.
