The explanation of the primary topic has recently been expanded, and it looks like it's getting out of hand. The relevant guideline is [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Disambiguation pages#Linking to a primary topic]], which calls for a "brief explanatory sentence" regarding the primary topic. Surely the Midianites and Edomites don't need to be mentioned, nor do the Baha'i scriptures. I propose something like "'''[[Abraham]]''' is a patriarch described in the Book of Genesis and the Quran".

Explanation of primary topic
The explanation of the primary topic has recently been expanded, and it looks like it's getting out of hand. The relevant guideline is Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Disambiguation pages#Linking to a primary topic, which calls for a "brief explanatory sentence" regarding the primary topic. Surely the Midianites and Edomites don't need to be mentioned, nor do the Baha'i scriptures. I propose something like "Abraham is a patriarch described in the Book of Genesis and the Quran".
