Related eclipses
The recently added section "Related Eclipses" is not necessary.
This eclipse is notable because of its association with the Islamic prophet Muhammad; the other 'related' solar eclipses have no relation with Muhammad.
I propose to delete this section. AstroLynx (talk) 22:51, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for your feedback, AstroLynx. I added the ‘Related eclipses’ section to bring the page in line with the other solar eclipse pages on Wikipedia. As far as the strong association with Islam goes, the page has been moved to Muhammad’s eclipse for the same reason and to bring it in line with pages such as that of the Assyrian eclipse. To further clarify, while this eclipse has an extremely strong relationship with Islam, it is still an astronomical event in being an eclipse, and, as such, there is still reason for the ‘Related eclipses’ section to be maintained. Thanks again. —AccordingClass (talk) 08:06, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
- Regarding the added section on 'Related eclipses' I disagree, similar articles such as the Assyrian eclipse, Mursili's eclipse, the Eclipse of Thales, etc., have no such section. It is OR and unsourced and it adds nothing to the article, therefore it should be deleted. AstroLynx (talk) 10:49, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
