A fact from Al-Jahith's Treasury appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 31 January 2017 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Al-Jahith's Treasury, an Amman bookstore chain, may have been named for theologian al-Jahiz, who was supposedly crushed by a stack of books?
This article received some improvements in 2014 but was never resubmitted. I think it now demonstrates notability more clearly and also features some modest textual improvements.
In addition to the independent Arabic news sources already cited, an English-language article from The Jordan Times is now used. Several dedicated articles in national newspapers and foreign media outlets constitute independent and reliable sources for notability. These national media sources also demonstrate the second criteria for organization and company notability. I'll offer a friendly, preemptive reminder to reviewers that verifiable sources need not be in English-language media.
Unsourced statements about the mission of the bookstore have been removed. The article more narrowly focus on the store's history and unique lending model. If there are further text issues, please emend them!
