Nasi' may lack notability other than for removal from the Islamic Calendar. In that case, the content from that article should be merged into the section of this article about prohibiting Nasi. ~2026-78748-7 (talk) 03:21, 5 February 2026 (UTC)

It can be merged instead into Calendars in pre-Islamic Arabia Pogenplain (talk) 02:07, 21 February 2026 (UTC)

It shouldn't be merged because other encyclopedias have articles devoted to Nasi' (e.g., EI2). The concept also has an attested usage (as postponement) beyond the calendar topic. Wiqi⁵⁵ 03:57, 21 February 2026 (UTC)

Solar Hijri calendar/Persian calendar missing from 1st intro paragraph

See intro at Hijri era:

"Time in this era is measured by two principal calendars: the lunar Hijri calendar (known in the West as the "Islamic calendar") which counts lunar years since the Hijrah and which is used by most Muslims around the world; and the solar Hijri calendar (also known as the "Persian calendar") which counts solar years since the Hijrah and which is used in Iran."

And given the importance of Iran in the Muslim world, that is a must here as well. Arminden (talk) 08:21, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

This article is called "Islamic calendar", not "Lunar Hijri calendar", and there are three Islamic calendars in active current use (Lunar Hijri, Solar Hijri and Tabular Lunar Hijri), so there is a case to answer. But right now the very first line of the article reads This article is about the Hijri calendar based on lunar observation. For the solar calendar whose first year is fixed to the Hijra, see Solar Hijri calendar. For the rule-based Hijri calendar, see Tabular Islamic calendar. Is that not adequate? --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 09:43, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
