It may be inappropriate to include the names of living individuals as adherants of the Baha'i Faith because their relationship with the Faith may intensify or cool, depending where they are up to in their lives. Any suggestions would be welcome. Occamy 18:40, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

the specific article was never meant to be an exhustive list. Each individual page is the primar place for things and there is a group category Category:Bahá'ís by nationality. Smkolins (talk) 19:39, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
Can someone provide documentation that Ogden Nash was a Bahai?--HistoricalPisces 18:55, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
Yes - I've asked that one just now, on the Ogden Nash talk page. I can't quite believe that someone who famously wrote "Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker" was a practising Baha'i. Apparently, there's been no response to that question here in half a year. If someone can't document Nash's faith in the next week or so, I'll remove him. PaulHammond 20:40, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure Nash was not a Baha'i, but used the word Baha'i in one of his poems..this is probably how the rumour started.
fwiw, -Anthony
Since when did expulsion make someone *never* a Baha'i ? Obviously to be a Covenent-breaker you must have been originally a Baha'i. I will revert again tomorrow. Wjhonson 21:02, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
Actually I think this whole page is a bit silly. I wouldn't mind deleting it. We could add in all of the Hands of the Cause, the Apostles, the Counselors, the rest of the family of Baha'u'llah, and others. All this page does is copy the Category:Bahá'í individuals. Cuñado - Talk 21:19, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
I looked into a few ideas and now I don't think deletion is the right step. See List of people by belief, and look through some of the other lists of religions' followers. Personally, I think they should all be deleted, but if every religion has one, then we might as well just keep this page and make improving edits. Cuñado - Talk 18:34, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
So is this just another page of "approved Baha'i thought" ? And if so, how is it that it's not pov by definition? I mean you are defining it to say, only include people who the UHJ approves. Is that really what you think this encyclopaedia is supposed to be? Suppress all thoughts that aren't stamped approved ? And you don't think that's pov ? Wjhonson 05:53, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
I had added him to the others list, but after reading here about "covenant breakers," i reverted. A better enty would be at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Bahá'í_individuals but that should be at his choice. i think i"ll try to contact him first. Take Care!--Will314159 09:23, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
While Cathy Freeman's stepdad was a Baha'i, and her mother and possibly other family members became Bahais, i dont think she considers herself a Baha'i, though she did participate in Baha'i activities in the past. On this note, I will delete her from the list. Bigkev87 09:25, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
In 2006, Freeman's biographical documentary Cos I'm Free (AKA Cathy Freeman) (Producer/Director: Lou Glover) covers much of her life with interviews of her family and friends. Both it and her book Born to Run - Cathy: Her Own Story mention dealing with racism and her mother's faith as a Bahá'í influencing her (her Mom she's a "Baha'i at heart"Cos I'm Free (AKA Cathy Freeman) Transcript of Program and Freeman was raised a Baha'i, she says "I'm not a devout Baha'i but I like the prayers and I appreciate their values about the equality of all human kind."The love and pain that inspire Cathy, Top athlete may journey from the winner's podium to the Academy AwardsBorn to Run (extract) Chapter 1 Running Free]
(modified notes to fit in here rather than <references/>
So - "signed nothing formal", "I'm not a devout Baha'i", "raised a Baha'i", "Baha'i at heart"...??--Smkolins (talk) 13:36, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
I'm also concerned about it, but prominent, public figures who have publically mentioned their faith may be appropriate. I'm more concerned about Count Leo Tolstoy, who as I understand it was an admirer of the Faith, but not an adherent, per-se. no where is Baha'i listed on his biography for example. I'm going to remove that one. If someone has documentation, then by all means re-add it, but they should probably also add this information to the Tolstoy page.
Well I suppose it depends on what an adherent is. He did not send a card in, or say Shahada, or talk to Baha'u'llah. Leo Tolstoy did however leave many quotes abotu accepting Baha'u'llah as the Manifestation of God for this Age, and talkign about how His cause woul overcome and illuminate the whole earth. I will start talking over at the Tolstoy page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aeroplane (talk • contribs) 04:50, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
I've done exactly that for many Bahá'ís who have articles in WIkipedia though I focused on many secondary individuals (not Hands of the Cause for example, etc.) The complaint was based on a case of the Christian list. I don't know the situation over there but great host of the Baha'i entries were sourced on their respective pages - I've revered the edit so saying. Checking around a bit I see that we already follow the suggested Wikipedia:Lists (stand-alone lists)#Naming conventions, and as a matter of citation the United Nations member states has almost no citations on its page for example. I don't see any rule that says the lists page must have the documentation. There has been a comment that one wikipedia article isn't a source for another (my wording) but I'd like to see more than a whim for such whole-scale evisceration. Even the remaining members of this list were "cited" if at all elsewhere. I could guess perhaps that some entries or other lists abused the responsibility of a good wikipedia page. This page wasn't my idea but I did recognize the need for sourcing individuals who were members of the Bahá'í faith and spent a good deal of work sourcing on each of their pages.--Smkolins (talk) 12:42, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
Can anyone give me an example of how to fix this page? There could be a large number of refs at the bottom of the page - I think I can find the syntax for two columns and such but this wont be pretty I think.... I guess both the fact they are Baha'is and what they do/did or whatever has to be refed too?--Smkolins (talk) 15:21, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
I don't see reference any of them are a Baha'i - just that they've used something from the religion for inspiring some of their work. Sound that Transcends Colours and Cultures by: Amir Nadimi. I don't say they aren't but I think we need to find better documentation.--Smkolins (talk) 14:45, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
Do such people get a listing here?--Smkolins (talk) 13:58, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
