Arab-Turks

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article is a piece of WP:SYNTH. Yes, there are citizens of Turkey who are of Arab heritage, some of whom can speak Arabic. Something could be written about them, but this article isn’t actually about them. The term “Türk Araplar” seems to have been invented by the article creator. Most of the article isn’t even about the purported subject. The “History” section is about Arab tribes who settled within the modern border of Turkey in historic times. The rest is about Arab refugees in Turkey and the stuff about Jews is sourced to pieces that don’t mention “Arab-Turks” at all. The only valid content under this title is the sentence “An estimated 1-1.5% of Turks in Turkey are of some type of Arab ancestry” but there’s no evidence that the term “Arab Turks” is used to define them.

 * Comment I also just noticed that the purported Arabic term “ العرب الإتراك” is also made up by the article creator. There is no indication of any use of the term in any sources, which is not surprising since it is not even grammatically correct and is just two nouns sitting next to each other “the Arabs-the Turks” in a meaningless construction. Wikipedia isn’t a place for creative writing. Mccapra (talk) 06:50, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
 * It would work grammatically actually. I'm an Arabic speaker. Just the only correction I would put the hamza on top: العرب الأتراك and this would work even better: الأتراك العرب This is just from the grammatical point of view. I have no opinion on whether the article should be deleted or not. WatABR (talk) 02:19, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: An addition to the comment above, the so called Turkish term "Türk Araplar" is gramatically uncorrect and dubious such thing even exists. Beshogur (talk) 12:13, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
