No independent, thorough coverage found in WP:BEFORE. Searching in English only found Wikishia and similar sites, as well as translations of the book itself, but no third-party commentary in WP:RS. Farsi and Urdu searches produced similar results. M Imtiaz (talk · contribs) 17:53, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

- Delete: Looks like a redundant content fork since most, if not all the content was copied from Sultan al-Wa'izin Shirazi.

- Comment (as nom): Faizhaider has made several edits to the article over the past few hours, saying that they are expanding it; however, with all due respect, I feel that most of the content added is WP:REFBOMBing, given that all of the new "sources" appear to be translations of the book itself published by an SPS service, and come nowhere close to contributing to WP:GNG.

- Comment: I don't think notability would be problem. But lot of pre internet technology print sources from vernaculars are still not online and many not in searchable format and unlikely to get updated soon.
- IMHO better option would be to have an article on shia-sunni dialogues and merge the content in separate section there. Once get more content it can be brought back to article with ease. Bookku (talk) 17:44, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
