Thajuddin: But the current article is not give reliable source and some sources NOT directly confirm certain events.  Splitting of the Moon is a believe, not historical and scientific event.  Did Thajuddin lived during the time of Muhammad or after Mohamed?  Legend of Cheraman Perumals already cover the topic and no need to have another non proven person.

CAPTAIN RAJU (T) 18:43, 29 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The inclusion of Thajuddin's page in Wikipedia is justified as it encapsulates a significant historical and cultural figure.  While acknowledging the challenges regarding source reliability, Thajuddin represents a figure of substantial folklore and tradition, contributing to the rich tapestry of cultural narratives.  Despite the debate surrounding the historical accuracy of certain events attributed to him, his presence in historical discussions provides insight into the socio-political milieu of his time.  Thajuddin's purported existence, whether contemporaneous with or postdating Muhammad, offers a lens through which to explore the interplay of legend and history in the broader narrative of the Cheraman Perumals and their era.  Therefore, his inclusion fosters a more comprehensive understanding of the cultural heritage and historical discourse surrounding the Cheraman Perumals of Makotai.

But, Why this duplicate page ( Chera Perumals of Makotai and Legend of Cheraman Perumals )?  Already this article was declined.  User already mentioned it as folklore and tradition, and it already covered in Legend of Cheraman Perumals .  There is no reliable source, and the reliable sources point to Cheraman Perumal, not so called Thajuddin who met Muhammad (from Kerala to Mecca).  -- Ant a n O 11:26, 31 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I understand the concern about potential duplication and the classification of the topic as folklore and tradition, but the existence of a separate page dedicated to Thajuddin, who purportedly met Muhammad, serves to provide a focused platform for exploring this aspect of Kerala's history and its cultural narratives. While it may be acknowledged as folklore, documenting such narratives contributes to the broader understanding of regional legends and their cultural significance. Moreover, although sources may vary in reliability, the presence of differing accounts underscores the diversity of perspectives and interpretations within historical discourse. As such, maintaining a distinct page for Thajuddin allows for a nuanced examination of this figure and his alleged encounter, enriching the discourse surrounding Kerala's historical and cultural landscape. The article in Legend of Cheraman Perumals does not cover this Legend in detail.

So what's the point of deleting it.  I think people should keep this page.  Is it gives a deeper insight into the legend.  ஸ்டீவன் ஸ்கால் ( talk ) 15:19, 7 February 2024 (UTC) WP:SOCKSTRIKE -- Blablubbs ( talk ) 02:41, 11 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete . To begin with the subject of the page Thajuddin, there is no reference that it was formerly called Tamil King Cheraman Perumal. More so, there are contentious websites and some references that are just scraps as if someone did a Google search to find a word and used it as a testimony for a much larger paragraph. I find it impossible to verify the paragraphs from the references given. RangersRus ( talk ) 22:36, 7 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge to Legend of Cheraman Perumals . The legend of the introduction of Islam to India is certainly notable, but the present article presents this legend as fact. The Legend of Cheraman Perumals article can be expanded with the specific events in the legend (the vision of the split moon and the pilgrimage to Mecca) if Indian historiographic sources are sufficient to verify that this is, in fact, part of the known legend.

Keep: It is a important to keep this page as it expands on the over all legend and story of Thajuddin putting it in other pages such as the Legend of Cheraman Perumals doesn't do it justice.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by சரோகம ( talk • contribs ) 22:08, 8 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep: Keeping the wiki page on Thajuddin's existence is justified for several reasons.  Firstly, Thajuddin is a figure recognized by Islamic scholars, lending credibility to his historical existence.  Numerous Arabic texts, including works like the Qissat Shakarwati-Farmad, reference him, along with recorded hadiths attributed to Abu Sa’id al-Khudri.  Moreover, the presence of a tomb dedicated to Thajuddin in Oman serves as tangible evidence supporting his existence.  Therefore, considering the scholarly acknowledgment, textual references, and physical evidence, maintaining the wiki page on Thajuddin is logical and warranted.

Oaktree b ( talk ) 15:56, 22 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep and Edit : People should keep the wiki page of Thajuddin even if it is poorly sourced because it provides a starting point for further research and discussion, potentially leading to the improvement of the page's quality over time.  According to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, "Information provided in an article must be verifiable and cited to reliable sources, even if it is not actually footnoted in the article."  This means that while poorly sourced information should be improved, the existence of the page itself is justified as long as efforts are made to enhance its reliability and accuracy.  தமிழ் வீரன் ஜைத் ( talk ) 13:31, 22 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Sending it to draft would better suit what you're describing.
