Imadaddin Nasimi

(

)

... that the 14th and 15th century Azerbaijani poet Imadaddin Nasimi was possibly flayed alive after being accused of being a kafir by Sunni scholars? Source: https://referenceworks.brillonline.com/entries/encyclopaedia-of-islam-3/*-COM_40738 "Most sources state that Nǝsimi was executed for his statements about religion, and sometimes he is even termed a kāfir (unbeliever). [...] Contrary to many legends, the sources give no clear indication that Nǝsimi was executed by being flayed alive. Some texts do mention flaying, but it was possibly carried out postmortem, and most likely with the aim of preserving body parts for public exhibition."

@Shearonink: If you have access to The Wikipedia Library, the source can be accessed here: [1]. —Kusma (talk) 10:25, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Kusma Thank you, that's very helpful. The source is still behind a paywall though for unregistered/most readers...I'm not sure if a DYK can be passed through if the source for the hook is inaccessible. Does anyone in DYK-land know? Shearonink (talk) 14:37, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

@Shearonink: We do accept hooks where the source is inaccessible, for example if it is in a paper book with no online version. We only expect the nominator to provide a full quote supporting the source on request (you can also ask for a scan to be sent by e-mail). If you have been unable to check the source yourself, but are satisfied with the nominator's explanation, you can use {{subst:DYKtickAGF}} to produce a grey tick instead of a green one. —Kusma (talk) 15:00, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Kusma Ah, ok, that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation & speedy response - muchly appreciated. Oh it'll get a green check from me - I deleted my previous "inaccessible source" statement from the review template. Shearonink (talk) 15:08, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
