Duplicate content at Zahiri dynasty

[edit]

@18Carlox32: The new Zahiri dynasty article appears to be mostly or entirely a copy-paste of content from this article, plus the shorter Al-Said Barakah and Solamish articles. If there is any information there that is not covered here and that is reliably sourced and cited, please add it to this article and/or to other relevant existing articles. The history of the period is also covered at Mamluk Sultanate and (in less detail) at Bahri Mamluks, so we do not need up to four different articles covering the same things; see WP:CONTENTFORK. The term "Zahiri", which is merely used sometimes to denote a small subset of the Bahri Mamluks, does not need its own article.

I've redirected that title here; alternatively, it could be redirected to Bahri Mamluks. If there is a good argument for creating a separate article, please propose it here or at Talk:Mamluk Sultanate by following the guidelines at WP:SPLIT. R Prazeres (talk) 00:54, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

PS: And as a reminder, Baybars' sons lasted barely two years before Qalawun came to power, so they are not so much a dynasty as a failed attempt to make one (e.g. see Petry's brief description of the episode here). R Prazeres (talk) 01:20, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
