Just replaced the term "Fiqh" with "Islamic jurisprudence." What's the point of forcing English readers to link to another article for a tranlsation of a term, instead of presenting the term in English for rapid understanding? Is it to help the writer feel more Islamic and culturally secure by seeing familiar words? If so (and I think it likely) please go elsewhere for self-validation--this is an encyclopedia, not a place to work out self-esteem issues. Tapered ( talk) 07:19, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
Before changing the infobox, please at least read the article itself, which already had several citations from RSs regarding this point. I've reviewed several modern academic encyclopedias and changed the text to comply with WP:NPOV. While the Iranian origin seems to have more current academic support, it is not universally accepted.

David Livingstone is not an historian nor does he have any specialization in this particular field. According to the link, Livingstone sounds like a conspiracy theorist.
As such, I will be removing the paragraph referenced by this unreliable source. -- Kansas Bear ( talk) 17:03, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

Jamāl al-Dīn al-Afghānī → Jamal al-Din al-Afghani – Macrons should be omitted, as it seems to be violating WP:USEENGLISH. --► Sincerely: Sola virum 19:37, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
Article titles should conform to WP:CRITERIA. Rules of thumb that will work in most cases: Use the translation or transcription that is most often used in English-language reliable sources (WP:COMMONNAME principle)... When there are several forms that occur often in English-language reliable sources, and for those that are used most often it is unclear which one outdoes the others in usage, choose among these the one that is closest to the basic transcription... In all other cases use the basic transcription.
