 * Comment to expand on my nomination: the term ‘Aptal Nisan’ means ‘April idiot’. Nisan=April and Nişan=engagement. Look at the View history page to see who created this. There are no sources for it. The alleged history is spurious and nonsensical. ‘Kravat’ is a modern loan word and nothing to do with Muslim tradition. Etc. Etc. Someone has had a good long laugh with this one. Mccapra (talk) 07:57, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete though it's quite amusing none the less. I read the article in full and do concur this does not seem at all credible. Google "Aptal" returns "stupid" and "Nisan" returns "April" (i.e. April Stupid, translating to "April Fool"). As noted by the nominator, the username of the creator seems consistent with this too. Someone has put effort into it, although has no place on wikipedia Bungle (talk • contribs) 09:18, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:V. Circumstantial evidence for hoax, as noted above, is compelling. 24.151.50.175 (talk) 17:20, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:V. Hoax quite plausible (e.g. beyond the creator's username, and details of the custom, Battle of Talas at 751 is inconsistent with the 1670s) - but as we fail V absent any sources proving a hoax is not required. Icewhiz (talk) 13:39, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Speedy/Snow Delete - Beautiful, fails V, etc. Smmurphy(Talk) 17:00, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
