Talk:Faiz Ahmad Faiz

message: It has been brought up before on the talk page as well that the page lacks information regarding the poetic works of Faiz. In particular, I think the article can benefit from a bibliography section as well as some details about the poetic works. There is almost no information about the publication history of Faiz's poetry. If someone else is not up to it, I can start a section. However I don't think I have enough experience in editing these kind of articles so it will take some time.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aarsalankhalid (talk • contribs) 12:24, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

message: I have been looking over the internet to find any reliable neutral source calling Faiz as a Muslim. In fact many books in Google refer to him as an agnostic. I have made the changes to the "Irreligion" section and am adding the sources. If anyone wants to discuss it with me, please do! I would like to make it clear on the article.

message: "While Faiz was brought up as an orthodox Muslim, he saw himself as an agnostic. Estelle Dryland writes that although Faiz took his place within an Islamic community, undoubtedly, he was a professed agnostic.[9] Faiz was a secularist, liberal, socialist and pacifist.[10] During his trial, when to the Prosecutor-General, Faiz famously quipped: "Don’t you know applying ‘"Fragrance"' is Sunnah?...". The questioner protested and said: "My dear sir, I doubt if you are a great one for following the Sunnah and so on!", then Faiz replied: "Why not, I am also a part of the Islamic culture..."."
The above is the current section under "Religious Views" which breaks multiple Wikipedia guidelines:
"Wikipedia's verifiability guidelines require all information to be citable to sources. When information is unsourced, and it is doubtful any sources are available for the information, it can be boldly removed."
"Information not attributed to a reliable source that is inaccurate beyond a reasonable doubt should be removed immediately. Unless it is clearly a blatant hoax, good faith shall be assumed and no action shall be taken against the editor who added this information, since that editor may have been given misinformation him/herself, or otherwise misunderstood."
"Information that clearly has no relevance to the subject named in the article should be removed. For example, if in the article tiger you find one or more paragraphs about light bulbs, and there is no explanation from the text as to why this is there, it should be removed. If the text does appear to belong in another article, it can and probably should be moved there. If the information has some connection to the article, but it is not significantly relevant (e.g., a recently added paragraph on England in the article on English literature), you may wish to move the content to the Talk page with a note explaining why you have relocated it."
- Sentence #1 is uncited which according the first guideline is absolutely not a problem to remove.
- Sentence #2's reference does not contain cited material and can be removed as well.
- Sentence #3 has a reference that is not accessible.
- Sentence #4 and #5 go against the third guideline listed above and can be removed as well.
I have added this content that has been wrongly removed:
"Faiz was from a Muslim background but maintained a non-practicing lifestyle throughout his life. Although seen as an atheist by his communist circle of friends, it was famously reported that "just a few hours before he fell ill never to recover, he had led prayers. Yes, a comrade who many believed was an atheist was not just praying to Allah to show him the right path but also leading the prayers!
This addition does not go against any of the Wikipedia guidelines and cannot be removed without a good reason. Please discuss this issue here.
