Talk:Imamate in Shia doctrine

Latest comment: 4 years ago by Newslinger in topic Requested move 1 July 2019

List/Table edit

Shouldn't we have a list that covers all Imams and branches from Ali to people accepted by present-day communities as Imam (like the Aga Khans. Something like the table below from my suggestion at Talk:Caliph:

PLEASE: I know the facts below are not yet right; these are placeholders.

(1) Ali ibn Abu Talib
(2) Hasan ibn Ali
(3) Husayn ibn Ali
(4) Ali ibn Husayn
Twelver Zaidi Ismaili Others
(5) Muhammad al-Baqir
(6) Jafar al-Sadiq
(7) Musa al-Kazim
(8) Ali al-Rida
(9) Muhammad al-Taqi
(10) Ali al-Hadi
(11) Hasan al-Askari
(12) Muhammad al-Mahdi



I removed the claim that the Prophet Muhammad had always insisted that Ali was his sucessor and changed it to a more neutral claim that Shias believe that he listed Ali as his sucessor due to the incident at Ghadhir Khom. I believe whoever edited it before was a Shia, and including such information removes neutrality from the article, in my mind at least.

– Currently we have four inconsistently titled articles: these three and Imamate in Nizari doctrine. I am proposing following the latter format because (a) the existing dab page is at imamate and this appears to be more common than imamah per Google ngrams and (b) "in X doctrine" is clear about what the articles are: a treatment about the general concept in a specific doctrinal tradition. I most concerned about consistency and could go another way on imamate/imamah or the method of disambiguation/description. Srnec (talk) 15:06, 1 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
