• Delete I was prepared to give this article a chance the first time I saw it but there are serious issues in terms of the reliability of its content and the extent to which it has been copied from other articles. For example, the article contains this unsourced paragraph: As known in popular culture: Sharifa Dina bint Abdul-Hamid, Princess Muna Al Hussein, Queen Alia al-Hussein, and Queen Noor of Jordan. A well-known saying for their experiences is: "Divorced, divorced, died; divorced, widowed." The epigram divorced, died, and widowed is widely known to scholars of Jordanian history, but there are a few historical nuances to consider. This is a close copy of Wives of Henry VIII, which contains the following: A mnemonic device to remember the names of Henry's consorts is "Arrogant Boys Seem Clever, Howard Particularly," indicating their "last names," as known to popular culture: Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard, Catherine Parr. A famous rhyme for their fates is: "Divorced, beheaded, died; Divorced, beheaded, survived." The epigram divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived is widely known to Anglophone students of world history but there are a few historical footnotes to consider. This is a serious WP:OR issue on top of the equally serious WP:CONTENTFORK matter. Keivan.f^Talk 07:26, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as WP:FORK and WP:OR, per DrKay and Keivan's arguments. Векочел (talk) 13:07, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
