I would suggest that the articles under the name of Khajeh Abdollah Ansari and Khwaja 'Abd Allah Ansari should be merged to Khwaja Abdullah Ansari.

Abu Ismaïl Abdullah ibn Abi-Mansour Mohammad or Khajah Abdullah Ansari of Herat, Afghanistan (1006-1088) (Template:خواجه عبدالله انصاری) was a famous suni muslim [[Afghani people| poet and Sufi who lived in the 11th century in Herat, today's Afghanistan (then Khorasan, now a city of Afghanistan) (a bigger than life character).

Modern day Afghanistan did not exist in 1000's. This was part of Greater Iran and this territory was inhabited by the Iranian peoples, who Afghani's are a part of. Why does this article refer to him as Sunni/Afghani and not say a single word about Persian or Iranian. Persian poets Molawna, Sanai, and Jami were from this region as well but they are not considered "afghani's". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ditc (talk • contribs) 08:05, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Ibn Qayyim and Ansari

I added a paragraph on the appreciation that Ibn al-Qayyim had for the Hanbali Sufi Khwaja Abdullah Ansari. This was removed almost immediately without proper discussion. Hence I have added this to the talk section. I have provided references for this paragraph from the following papers:

This I believe is sufficient in validating the information added.86.163.52.147 (talk) 21:35, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Discussion wasn't required when it was removed, because you weren't using reliable sources; rather, a proper discussion is required for you to add such unsupported material. Which you have done here so the matter is closed, but you should review WP:IRS before making such statements. MezzoMezzo (talk) 06:51, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
