Most of the entries are because their surname suggests that they might be Shia. Then, there is a possibility that they might not be practicing. As religion is a sensitive issue, so such lists for navigation purpose are not useful. Categories are a better way to go. As such, the list doesn't provide sourcing that they are practicing.

Delete - WP:LISTPEOPLE cautions that "Special care must be taken when adding living persons to lists based on religion" - WP:LISTCRITERIA says "Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a directory, repository of links, or means of promotion, and should not contain indiscriminate lists, only certain types of list should be exhaustive. Criteria for inclusion should factor in encyclopedic and topical relevance, not just verifiable existence." - Epinoia (talk) 04:58, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
