  • How is George Sale's translation of Quran, which is about 300 years old and one of the earliest translations of the text, a reliable source for encyclopedia? The (so-called) critical edition was by a missionary translator and is about 130 years old.
  • There exists a ton of scholarship that discusses and critiques this (obsolete and biased) orientalist translation. See Ziad Elmarsafy among others. This also applies for Picthall (see Geoffrey Nash, 2005 & 2017) but from the other side of the fence.
  • Who have cited Quran4u.com's translation of Tafsīr al-Qurʾān al-ʿAẓīm? I am not even seeing why a primary source — without any critical commentary — shall be used at all.
  • How is The Qur'an with Annotated Interpretation in Modern English a reliable source? Tughra Books is not even an academic publisher. I don't see any reviews over reliable journals (or by reputed scholars) either.
  • One reliable source by Brill, put to irrelevant use. TrangaBellam (talk) 17:49, 29 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
    I am happy to take Sale to WP:reliable source JorgeLaArdilla (talk) 08:29, 31 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
    Sure, obtain a consensus in favor at WP:RSN. And stop reinstating poorly sourced content. In the meanwhile, allow me to rewrite the article using decent sources published by academic presses within last 30 years. TrangaBellam (talk) 07:23, 1 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
    If you can improve, good and well. I am readding the Summary until you do. JorgeLaArdilla (talk) 09:06, 1 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
    JorgeLaArdilla, which part of WP:BURDEN eludes you? TrangaBellam (talk) 09:26, 1 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
    What is the summary? You are adding all the content back! TrangaBellam (talk) 09:27, 1 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
    I think the part of WP:BURDEN that eludes you is it is satisfied by providing an inline citation. I am adding back all the content because you are removing all the content . JorgeLaArdilla (talk) 12:14, 1 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
    I meant WP:ONUS. You have been here for long enough to know that verifiability does not guarantee inclusion. TrangaBellam (talk) 15:51, 2 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
    And, how is Islam Awakened a reliable source? TrangaBellam (talk) 15:52, 2 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
