Rfv-sense: A Muslim imam DTLHS (talk) 19:55, 18 July 2016 (UTC)


 * I see one possible use: The mosque is not only a place of worship, but a school and a college, and it is not unusual for the pastor to invite a "manlavie" of renowned scholarship or piety to take charge of the instruction. I also see several uses of the phrase Muslim pastor on Google Books, some of which say things like "An imam is a Muslim pastor", but these seem to be uses of the more general sense of pastor ("Someone with spiritual authority over a group of people"). —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 20:21, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
 * It's just POV-pushing by guess who. Even the "manlavie" citation is probably the general sense just happening to be applied to a Muslim. - -sche (discuss) 21:10, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Couldn't we just modify the definition to something like "A religious leader in any religion."? Same as with church, "A (non-Christian) religion; a religious group." (though this sense is technically incorrect, but is still attestable and used, that's why I added the "informal" tag, and we should probably do the same here) Philmonte101 (talk) 03:25, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
