Its strength is naming a specific reforming figure, a specific century and a named transmission structure for the oral tradition; its limit is a Wikipedia community article rather than a Yazidi studies monograph, which is why it sits at reliability tier three.FactsClaims Backed By This Source (52 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsAssessmentReliability TierWell-attested3Bare Wikipedia community article, tier 3, matching this corpus's settled precedent for this source class.NotesWell-attestedWikipedia's article on the Yazidis, consulted 2026-08-13. Useful here for Yazidism taking shape from a pre-Islamic Kurdish religious substratum, reorganised and given its lasting doctrinal and institutional form by Sheikh Adi ibn Musafir and his successors in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries; the three hereditary castes, sheikhs, pirs and murids, with intermarriage between them considered sinful and strictly forbidden; the Yezidi Qewals, trained reciters of Qewls and other sacred oral tradition, sent to other Yazidi-inhabited areas; and Lalish as the community's ancient temple, restored to the Yazidis after Sheikh Adi's arrival. Deliberately not used for the wording of any qewl, which stays undescribed here.CitationAuthorWell-attestedWikipedia contributorsPublisherWell-attestedWikipediaPublication YearWell-attested2026URLWell-attestedhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YazidisSource TypeWell-attestedreferenceClaims Backed By This Source (52 claims)This source backs 52 claims across the atlas.
