Al-Fozail ibn Iyaz[edit]

  • ... that the Sufi saint Al-Fozail ibn Iyaz was a bandit, before realising it was incongruous to his professed religion?

  • This article relies quite heavily on this website and I cannot see what makes that a reliable source. There are also phrasing and formatting problems, which I'll try to fix. - Sitush (talk) 06:38, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
  • I've now done some tidying but I've also had to tag a lot of the citations - page numbers, reliability etc. Needs some work, I'm afraid. - Sitush (talk) 14:54, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
  • Adding symbol to summarize the above review. --Orlady (talk) 19:09, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
  • I see problems, still. Nominator has not returned to the article (I left them a "DYK problems" note). Page numbers are missing, and half the references do not contain proper bibliographic information. Some of the sourcing is accessible and clean courtesy of Sitush, but the rest is either very incomplete or not obviously reliable. Sitush has done a great job of improving the article, but this was and is not DYK-ready. Drmies (talk) 16:23, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
  • The note was left to me, but I'm not the nominator. For some reason, that username line has my talkpage listed. Chris857 (talk) 16:39, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
  • Thanks! The nomination got malformatted along the way; I corrected it. Apologies for the misunderstanding. Drmies (talk) 16:44, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
<-- Two notes on the editor's talk page, both to no avail. I think we should close this: it's not DYK ready and it looks like it might not be for a while. Drmies (talk) 20:53, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
