It's called رُبْع with a final ع

Reconsider rubʕ which means "quarter"; rub'(ol)ḥizb(i) marks the end of a 60th-quarter. Somebody please response. --Discjjockey (talk) 15:45, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The ayn letter should be reflected in linguistic transcriptions within the article text, but there's inconsistent practice about using linguistic transcriptions of Arabic in actual article titles. AnonMoos (talk) 11:40, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

merge Al-Quds star

It's just a content fork and should be here. --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 11:36, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

flag of Azerbaijan

It is claimed that flag of Azerbaijan has a modified version of the Rub el Hizb. However, in flag of Azerbaijan, it is considered only as a star, when there is information about it. There should be a source and it should be added to the flag article also, if it can be found. If not, then it should be taken off. 82.141.95.243 (talk) 21:07, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Probably just a variation on the Ottoman star, which was not usually 5-pointed before the mid 19th century... AnonMoos (talk) 11:37, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

Propose merging Seljuk star into Rub el Hizb

So far, Seljuk star seems to be merely a limited duplicate of the older Rub el Hizb article. They are literally the same shape and the eight-pointed star is a very common motif in Islamic art in many parts of the world, not just in the Turkic-speaking world. This article (Rub el Hizb) even alludes to this motif in Turkish culture as well, thus repeating what's at Seljuk star. I also can barely find anything at all on the "Seljuk star" specifically, which could raise questions about notability. (I recently added new citations to that article, but they don't quite solve the problem.) We could easily cover its importance to Seljuk art here, along with any terminology variations, without the need for a separate article that will likely remain a stub otherwise.

PS: there may be other close content forks about the same symbol, e.g. Star of Lakshmi, and it may be worth merging all of these into a more general article about this particular variant of the eight-pointed star. R Prazeres (talk) 23:13, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"AlQuds Star" was previously merged into this article for a similar reason. However, "Star of Lakshmi" belongs to a different cultural tradition, and it would be simpler to leave it separate. AnonMoos (talk) 14:55, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, the proposal above is only for Seljuk star; just mentioning others for the sake of a full picture of what's out there. R Prazeres (talk) 16:36, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
