This is not an English page, but I was unable to identify if it met CSD:A2 due to the language barrier (I could not tell if another page existed in a different language on the same topic). If someone with knowledge of the Arabic language could please determine this and give input, I would greatly appreciate it. Jackson Peebles (talk) 01:52, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

FYI the author has an article in Brill Encyclopedia of Islam dedicated to him, saying: "Abū l-Futūḥ al-Rāzī (fl. sixth/twelfth century) was a Shīʿī author and preacher, most famous for his Persian commentary on the Qurʾān, entitled Rawḍ al-jinān wa-rawḥ (or rūḥ) al-janān" Hope that suffices for the notability of his book.

Comment. The nominator has misunderstood WP:CSD#A2 - a non-English title for an article is perfectly OK, provided that the article itself is in English and the title is the name by which the subject is generally referred to when discussed in English. The real difficulty is finding sources - I get the impression that the transliteration from Arabic is not standard, so this may be the reason. If someone can come up with a better transliteration (and preferably a few sources to go with it), that would belp. PWilkinson (talk)

Weak delete. The source provided above grants notability to the author, but I don't think it really provides notability to the book, especially if it's the only source available. MezzoMezzo (talk) 09:37, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note:Apparently, there are two articles in Brill Encyclopedia of Islam about the author. The longer one[1] that I had NOT listed above has a full section -out of a total of two- dedicated to this specific book. I am adding material and references to the wiki page.Kazemita1 (talk) 23:43, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
