Merger Proposal

I believe that Topi should be merged into Taqiyah. Because the article "Topi" is very brief and basically topi and taqiyah are two different names for the same thing. Even if there is a difference it is small enough to be completely discussed under the article Taqiyah (cap). --Wahj-asSaif (talk) 05:25, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. Dhaka topi should perhaps also be merged. Middayexpress (talk) 17:01, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know about Dhaka topi... The article Taqiyah says that "Taqiyah" is "a short, rounded cap". From no angle does the Dhaka topi looks small to me. --Wahj-asSaif (talk) 19:20, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support The proposal is correct, a "taqiyah" and a "topi" are the exact same thing. The former is Arabic and the latter is Urdu/ Hindi. There is no reason for having two articles. -- SayedUmaarKazmi (talk • contribs) 00:58, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merger done by no further objections, and community consensus on the definition. --92slim (talk) 07:31, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mainly worn by Sunnis?

It appears Shia Muslims don't really use this, also from the countries listed in the article. FunkMonk (talk) 17:23, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The examples listed in "Western converts" section is ridiculously stereotypical and pointless uncited opinions, suggest removal.

Contrary to what the post suggests, Mexican men do not typically wear "sombreros and ponchos" to their weddings, or really in most contexts/places unless they are rural folks... not only is this bizarre and stereotypical, it also makes no sense, as a taqiyah is a hat, and a sombrero is a hat. One does not generally wear a taqiyah over another head covering. Similarly I have never heard of anyone wearing the level of fancy dress described under "English men" to Jummah. And while our ideas of what "modest clothing" are diverse, I don't imagine that a kilt would generally be worn by many to a muslim wedding - I'm sure there are some who might do it, but muslim weddings are often low key affairs, when done in the traditional manner. It hilarious that in the same paragraph it simultaneously stated that lederhosen are not modest but that a kilt is fine... let's hope its not windy in the highlands during this imaginary ostentatious wedding... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:243:C500:8DDB:85F9:8546:592F:A83 (talk) 02:10, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tangzhuang?

Modern Chinese muslims rarely wear Tangzhuang or Cheongsam. Tangzhuang is limited to martial art performance and certain activities, and is not generally worn on a daily basis, and Cheongsam is considered outdated or historical. Chinese people, including muslims groups, have adopted modern western clothing. Tangzhuang is not the official national costume. In fact, Mao Suit is more often considered a national costume for men. The revival of "Hanfu" has also challenged the status of Manchu-style Tangzhuang or Cheongsam. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.121.68.22 (talk) 08:35, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merger Proposal

I propose merging the arakhchin article into this article. The Armenian and Azerbaijani arakhchin seem to be the same hat as the Persian and Central Asian araqchin discussed in this article. Since there isn’t that much information in the Arakhchin article, I say we can just split that article up into an Armenia and Azerbaijan section in this article seeing as that article has some good reliable sources that can be used for this article since citations are lacking. Also, even though Armenians are moslty Christians and this article is about Islamic headwear, it appears the Armenians adopted this hat during Islamic rule so I think a disclaimer in the Armenia section would suffice, although, perhaps it would be best to change the descriptions to “A short rounded skull cap worn in the Muslim world.” TagaworShah (talk) 22:51, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The person named TaQiyah Barber

I have tried to add text with a cited source of truth about this woman who was wrongfully accused of a crime she did not commit. Your bots seem to deny truth. Realinformation23 (talk) 23:21, 17 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
