Talk:Gazi Gümüshtigin

should be removed
This page should be removed. It confuses Danishmend Gazi with Emir Gazi. Gazi Gümüshmigin is simply an alternate name for Danishmend Gazi, who died in 1104. His eldest son was Emir Gazi. See https://archive.org/details/danishmendids-ei/page/n1/mode/1up for reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.16.134.46 (talk) 22:48, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

Bohemond II
Wasn't Bohemond killed coming to the aid of the armenians, who were allied with the crusaders, not the danishmends as this article suggests? Hera52 (talk) 23:23, 24 May 2008 (UTC)


 * No...he was trying to take back land captured by the Armenians, who had allied with the Danishmends. I think it was right the way it was (which is also what it says on the Bohemond II article). Adam Bishop (talk) 04:10, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Disparity with Turkish Wikipedia
The Turkish version of this article appears to claim that the person it concerns is the grandson of Danishmend Gazi, instead of being his son. It also calls him "Emir Melik Gazi" rather than "Gumustekin Gazi" (However, "Emir" is a title, "Melik" means "King" so it is another title, and "Gazi" means holy warrior, so it does not appear to include for him a given name). Turkish Wikipedia also has a separate article called "Gumustekin Gazi" which says it is about the son of Danishmend Gazi, who it claims died in the same year he did (presumably indicating why it believes he was succeeded by his grandson). If anyone with more expertise in this area looks at this, could they explain to this confused history enthusiast what the cause of this disagreement is? -1.123.8.250 (talk) 08:02, 2 May 2017 (UTC)


 * The confusion appears to be derived from a Turkish TV series that is historical fiction and so a less good source. Severus Alexander 2 (talk) 22:55, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
 * That's not true. Ghazi Gumustekin is mentioned in various sources as Danishmend Ghazi's son, and successor. Prior the series. The article being poorly sourced doesn't mean it's fictional. While soucres also mentions that Danishmend died at 1084 or 1805.. Beshogur (talk) 12:05, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
