replies: text: I just searched Google for "Hand of the Cause of God", and these thirty or so I started with are the only ones who came up.  I wanted a vehicle to link Shoghi to Mason Remey without seeming tendentious.Wjhonson 03:09, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: You could do a section on Shoghi Effendi's main page about succession. Probably best to keep it short (3-4 lines) as it's covered elsewhere (isn't it?). As long as you mention what both schisms did I personally don't see anything wrong with it -- Tomhab 04:32, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Oops I mean the fourth character in the last name.  It looks like Kha then a box then ih.Wjhonson 15:32, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

text: I believe it's a unicode character and thus needs either needs to be surrounded by  in Wikipedia or needs one to have more unicode fonts installed (I think).  For example, I don't see any of the Sanskrit characters on my home computer, but do see them on my work computer.  -- 15:45, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Reading over the talk page of , it seems to be an IE problem with Unicode.  Are you using IE? -- Jeff3000 15:46, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Typically for something to be notable there has to be multiple sources.  Many of those sources should be from non-Baha'i publishers.  Regards, -- Jeff3000 (talk) 17:32, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

message: Why the list is having non-notables? Serv181920 (talk) 17:39, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: This page is not a WP:LIST and considering the small number and limited scope (no more can be appointed), the full list is fine. Most of them would qualify for a bio with some effort. Cuñado ☼ - Talk 19:09, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Can you direct me to the policy/guideline that allows such lists of non-notable people? Serv181920 (talk) 11:19, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It's analogous to the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses or the Universal House of Justice pages that list members of the subject even if the individuals don't have notability for their own page. Considering that there are only, and will only ever be, 50 Hands of the Cause, and the list on this page is repeated in several reference works (e.g. Adamson 2009, appendix 8), and most individuals are notable and verifiable enough to warrant their own articles, removing from this list would just create work later to add them back. In general, I think any Apostle or Hand of the Cause will easily pass notability. Cuñado ☼ - Talk 17:32, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
