Al-Zahiriyya al-Tahta
Ruins of a shrine on the former lands of al-Zahiriyya al-Tahta
- ... that the name of the former Palestinian village al-Zahiriyya al-Tahta (pictured) may have been a tribute to the Mamluk sultan al-Zahir Baybars? Source: Khalidi, Walid (1992) All That Remains, p. 505.
5x expanded by Huldra (talk) and Onceinawhile (talk). Nominated by Al Ameer son (talk) at 00:44, 20 June 2020 (UTC).
Long enough, new enough, within policy regarding references and neutrality, no copyvio found. Suggestion: I think lead is expected to contain more information to summarize the article, e.g. the village's origin, notable events, and probably some more context about its depopulation. The history of the maqam pictured in the infobox could be added to the article body. Hook is supported in article and cited. The image has an appropriate license, but how do the citations (lists of place name) support the assertion that the ruin is in "the former lands of al-Zahiriyya al-Tahta"?

- Thank you for your review HaEr48, very sorry it slipped under the radar. As for the shrine ruin, it is located within the village lands per the village boundaries. I'm not sure if we ended up finding a source explicitly stating as much in text though. @Oncenawhile:, @Huldra:? The shrine is not mentioned in the hook so worst-case scenario we may have to drop the image, unfortunately. Al Ameer (talk) 15:12, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
- Hi @HaEr48 and Al Ameer son: according to this map Esh Sh. Kuweiyis is on "Edh Dhahiriya et Tatha" land.
- (You will find Edh Dhahiriya et Tatha in the ourskirts of Safad, SW of the city centre). Esh Sh. Kuweiyis is SW of Edh Dhahiriya et Tatha, marked with the sign for "Sheikh's Tomb" (See the bottom of the map for that sign). Then note the .__.__.__. line, which is the defined village boundary (while . . . .is undefined boundary) clearly goes around both Esh Sh. Kuweiyis and Edh Dhahiriya et Tatha. (The boundary is defined most of the way, except between Edh Dhahiriya et Tatha and Safad, ie the opposite side of Esh Sh. Kuweiyis). Hope this helps? Huldra (talk) 20:39, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
- Al Ameer son, I'm waiting for the incorporation of the source above to the article (or the dropping of the image), as well as updates to the lead as mentioned in my initial review. HaEr48 (talk) 22:26, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
Where is the QPQ credit? It is been over five weeks since this was nominated, and still no QPQ? Flibirigit (talk) 12:21, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
@Al Ameer son and HaEr48: QPQ donated. --evrik (talk) 15:17, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Evrik: thank you, and thanks for your edits to the article. I have also added a caption to the map [1] to incorporate Huldra's explanation, per HaEr48's request above. Onceinawhile (talk) 16:39, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
- Appreciate the QPQ evrik ;) @HaEr48: I wrote up a lead summarizing the article as it currently stands the best I could. Regrettably, I do not believe any of us have more information about its origins, notable events or details about it depopulation and aftermath. Al Ameer (talk) 16:55, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
