Talk:Bilge Khagan

Comments
"Bilge is even better known, however, for advising his successors that the power of the T'u-chüeh came from their nomadic life and that to settle in agricultural communities on the Chinese border would weaken them" (Britannica 2006). Pelase refactor if you feel like it. --Ghirla-трёп- 21:10, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Tonyukuk
I feel that Tonyukuk should also be mentioned in this article. (Not only his stelae but rather his position as chancellor.)Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 13:25, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Name of the article
His name is accepted widespread as Bilge Khagan. Khagan is the most accepted form. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khagan Please correct the name of the article. Sbasturk (talk) 06:15, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Bilge Qaghan is the common name in English language. You can easily control it with google books. Takabeg (talk) 10:37, 30 December 2012 (UTC)


 * No it is not. FYI Khagan is not a name but a title of imperial rank. Maybe you should check the WP page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khagan . After your Google research if you still think Qaghan is more accepted form please feel free to change it again or start a discuss in the article 'Khagan'. (Google search results for Bilge Qaghan: 27600 Results. For Bilge Khagan 1100000 results.)Sbasturk (talk) 10:46, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Articles in wikipedia themselves, and normal google search are not Identifying reliable sources. If you want and you can prove that the common use should be "Bilge Khagan", you can request move. Takabeg (talk) 10:56, 30 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Of course Google searches are not a reliable source. But I just want to make you notice that Bilge Khagan is a more accepted format. Although they are not reliable 1100000 vs 26000 search results mean something to me. Anyway I listed some more reliable sources here. Please take a look. Btw I know there are also books containing his name as Qaghan but as I mentioned before, Khagan is widespread for example WP also has this title in this format.--Sbasturk (talk) 11:32, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page.

The result of the move request was: No consensus. Cúchullain t/ c 16:54, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Bilge Qaghan → Bilge Khagan – Some of the sources can be found above. Another major source is Encyclopædia Britannica where it is written as "...khagan, or great khan..." Besides as I mentioned before in the talk page, Khagan is not a name but a title of imperial rank. Please take a look to the discuss Name of the Article above. --Relisted HaugenErik (talk) 17:43, 14 January 2013 (UTC) Sbasturk (talk) 06:23, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Oppose – According to google books research, "Bilge Khagan" -Llc (min. 21 hits) is not common name in English language. Bilge Qaghan (min. 38 hits) is more common. Takabeg (talk) 05:27, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Comment: There seems no consensus for the move yet it has occurred, done by a relative newcomer. Investigating at User talk:Qara xan. Andrewa (talk) 22:40, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Comment: I'm relisting this discussion to hopefully get more input. It seems that on Wikipedia we generally write the word Khagan, so it would be interesting to see if there is any reason why this article should be any different. I've undone the move; please do not move this again until this discussion is closed. ErikHaugen (talk &#124; contribs) 17:43, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
