Mutaween is already plural (for mutaw(w)a). There are four hits for google books:"mutaweens", but this one seems irrelevant, this one can't be verified because it doesn't bring up the previewed text ("Besides, if what the Americans were saying was accurate – that they did have authorization to be in Mecca – then harming them would result in the mutaweens’ dismissal."), and this one's talking about a band called The Mutaweens (cf. The Fratellis [Italian fratello (“brother”) → fratelli (“brothers”) → *fratellis] for a band name that uses a double plural); I've added the only solid citation available to Citations:mutaweens. Mutaweens may scrape through, but if it does, I suggest it be marked {{nonstandard}} and {{rare}}. I'm so meta even this acronym (talk) 20:25, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
- Delete. Mutaween is plural. Pass a Method (talk) 08:45, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
- Failed. There is a valid Usenet use as well, as soon as another cite comes up the entry can be restored. I note that in both cites the term is capitalised. — Ungoliant (Falai) 14:15, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
