Muhammad Saleh Thattvi: Only 1 source of any kind mentions Muhammad Salih Tatahwi (misspelled throughout wikipedia article).  That would be Savage-Smith, Emilie; Belloli, Andrea P. A. (1985).  "Islamicate Celestial Globes: Their History, Construction, and Use".  Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology (46).  Washington, D.C., where he gets barely a few sentences.  The other sources cited do not mention him at all.  Based on searches on google scholar, that one source is the only secondary source to mention him; all sources on google web search are derived from wikipedia.  Also, as is, almost everything on the article is wrong, including the spelling of his name, his place of birth, and the time period he lived in, and what kind of globes he made, and it incorrectly places him in mathematician and astronomer categories.  All other details are about other people and historical trends already covered elsewhere on wikipedia.  Hi!

WC Quidditch ☎ ✎ 10:54, 7 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment .   The subject here wrote his name in a different alphabet, for which there are multiple correct transliterations.   (So, the correct spelling of his name is something like "محمد صالح التاتفي"; at least, that is what Google Translate gave to me.)  If kept, we should use the most common transliteration.   No strong opinion on notability; this could use the attention of a Persian, Arabic and/or Urdu speaker, as there may be be sources in those languages.  Russ Woodroofe ( talk ) 11:09, 7 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] For a brief article I think there's just enough material in the reference you indicated, to quote the main part of it: Besides the Lahore family workshop, there was in the seventheenth century another maker in northwestern India who was producing globes that appear to be cast seamless globes.  The instrument maker is known by three astrolabes and two globes (Nos. 25 and 29).  On the earlier globe, executed in 1070 H/AD 1659-1660 at the request of a certain Shaykh cAbd al-Khaliq, the maker signed himself as Muhammad Salih Tatah-wi, while on the second globe, made in 1074 H/AD 1663-1664 he signs as Muhammad Salih Tatawi.  The spelling of Tatah-wi, which uses quite unusual orthography, is probably an attempt on his part to indicate the pronunciation of the name, for with the second spelling one might be inclined to pronounce it Tatwi.  It seems unlikely that he was actually from Tatta in the delta of the Indus river as some have suggested, since the name of the town is written with different characters and should more accurately be transliterated Thattha.  Both globes by Tatawi seem to be quite precise with full sets of constellation figures, though the available photographs of his earlier globe show little detail.  Of special interest is the fact that the second globe has the names of the constellations and the signature written in both Arabic and in Sanskrit (see Figure 18, which also clearly shows a plug from the casting process).  One might speculate that this maker perhaps worked in the Kashmir area, where at the end of the sixteenth century cAli Kashmiri ibn Luqman may have produced his apparently seamless metal globe.  Kashmir was a region where Sanskrit was the language until replaced for official purposes by Persian in the late fifteenth century, and consequently might have been an area where a globe in both Arabic and Sanskrit would have been requested.  ...  The use of the word c_amal is usual with Diya al-Din of the Lahore workshop as well as later makers such as Muhammad Salih Tatawi of the seventeenth century, ...  There are also some details given on two of his globes (one in the Red Fort Archaeological Museum ), and references are indicated to be present in Robert T. Gunther The astrolabes of the world and W. H. Morley Description of a Planispheric Astrolabe Constructed for Shah Sultan Husain Safawi, King of Persia, and Now Preserved in the British Museum; Comprising an Account of the Astrolabe Generally, with Notes Illustrative and Explanatory: to Which Are Added, Concise Notices of Twelve Other Astrolabes, Eastern and European, Hitherto Undescribed .
