Sources
Per this comment of yours, I wanted to ask if you knew of any more sources. Unfortunately, the article has been moved back to "Sexual slavery in Islam" from "Concubinage in Islam". I'm going to make a move request with sources and I've written a sample move request here. Any feedback on the request can be improved before I make it officially would be appreciated.VR talk 16:11, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
- Vice regent, I have nothing to add other than my reply that you linked. I think rather than focusing on a requested move, a better approach maybe studying the sources first - both cited in the article or not. You can contribute to the article (including the body and the lead) if you feel that it does not fully represent all viewpoints. Once it is there, then readers might have a better idea on the appropriate title and scope of the article. HaEr48 (talk) 21:03, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
