Talk:Religion in Northern Cyprus

"Partially Recognized Countries (States with limited recognition)" have their own in Wikipedia.
 * Categories
 * Templates
 * Pages

In WP, things of Partially Recognized Countries (PRC, States with limited recognition) are given/handled in separate headings/categories/templates from their Claimers. This is also the case for Northern Cyprus. Therefore, Northern Cyprus and Cyprus are covered separately: See Human Rights, LGBT rights, Women, Foreign Relations, Sport, Education, Islands, Extreme Points, Mammals, Districts, Newspapers, TV, Universities etc. in WP.

The case for "Religion" is not different. See:
 * There is a distinct Religion in Abkhazia article in WP. "Religion in Abkhazia" is not embedded to "Religion in Georgia".
 * There is a distinct Religion in Nagorno-Karabakh article in WP. "Religion in Nagorno-Karabakh" is not embedded to "Religion in Azarbaijan".
 * There is a distinct Religion in Transnistria article in WP. "Religion in Transnistria" is not embedded to "Religion in Moldova".
 * Religion in Kosovo redirects to Demographics of Kosovo#Religion

Forget Sovereign Partially Recognized Countries, even dependencies has distinct "Religion" pages: Woodgridge (talk) 19:15, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Religion in Jersey
 * Religion in the Faroe Islands
 * Gibraltar
 * Isle of Man
 * Aland Island.

In Wikipedia, Northern Cyprus is a country just as it is so in all over the world, and hence in WP articles, C and NC are given as 2 items in the same articles
See "Country" definition in WP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country The term "country" is frequently used to refer to sovereign states. See List of 206 Sovereign States in the world: http://www.worldlibrary.org/articles/list_of_sovereign_states Note: Northern Cyprus is among 206 sovereign states.

"List of islands", "Foreign relations", "Sport", "Education", "Extreme points", "List of mammals", "Districts", "Human rights", "LGBT rights", "Women", "List of newspapers", "Television", "List of universities and colleges" and thousands others are all covered separately for Cyprus and Northern Cyprus in Wikipedia:
 * Ethnic groups in Europe: C and NC are given as 2 distinct countries in the same table
 * European countries: NC is among limitedly recognized states
 * List of countries and territories by population density : C and NC are listed in the same WP article.
 * List of sovereign states and dependencies by area: C and NC are listed in the same WP article.
 * List of countries and dependencies by population: C and NC are listed in the same WP article.
 * List of European countries by population: Population of C does not include that of NC.

just as this was done so in almost all the other web pages/institutions in the world. Hence, putting "Hijab" to the same heading (Cyprus) does not only violates Wikipedia policies but also does not reflect the real situation: "Hijab in Cyprus" and "Hijab in Northern Cyprus" are 2 totally different things. There are different applications for Hijab in these 2 countries. There are two different Hijab regulations in Cyprus and Northern Cyprus, and the regulation in one does not bind the other (not only legally but also in practice: by the way, see above: "All laws of Northern Cyprus are accepted in Europe").85.110.119.125 (talk) 21:47, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

A standard: WP covers things of Partially Recognized Countries in separate articles, and covers things of PRCs and their Claimers under separate headings in a WP article
