This 2007 Good Article has some sourcing problems (unsourced statements, possibly questionable sources) and an unclear citation style. Additionally, there may be some prose problems, such as MOS:PUFFERY. Spinixster (chat!) 09:57, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My first observation is that the infobox is a disaster zone. There also appears to be far too much purely religious primary source material, while much of the other sourcing is exceptionally dated. The burial place section references a single mid-19th century work, which the etymology section is from the first decade of the 20th century. I could go on. As mentioned by the nominator, not an impressive sourcing picture. Iskandar323 (talk) 11:06, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with @Iskandar323 but would add that there are a few Citation Needed tags or Citations missing completely. The content also fails the criterion to be "broad", as it does not even mention the dispute if Isaac or Ismael was supposed to be sacrificed in Islamic tradition.

Delist lacking citations, and there should be more use of reliable, independent, secondary sources. I can't comment on whether it fails the broardness criterion. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 23:05, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Origin of Isaac[edit]

@VenusFeuerFalle: you have claimed that Isaac does not originate in the Hebrew Bible otherwise known as the Old Testament. If you have a source suggesting otherwise, please post it here so we can discuss before deleting that from the article. This is a bold claim and needs discussion first.
