Longest word in Turkish

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Unsourced. I don't speak Turkish so I'm not sure if this is a hoax or not. Can someone who is Turkish help us out? Thanks. Cssiitcic (talk) 22:39, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - This is not a hoax as you can see when you search it on the Google. But the results are usually from forums and not good sources. I am looking for a better source. I will add a source when I find it.--Cfsenel (talk) 22:49, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I found two fine sources:  But I do not know how to add sources in English Wikipedia.--Cfsenel (talk) 22:57, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I added those sources in the article.Cssiitcic (talk) 22:59, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * It seem someone else did before I got a chance to. OOPS.Cssiitcic (talk) 23:01, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * It's OK. I made it. I have copied References part from Longest word in Spanish and learned how to add sources (before you).--Cfsenel (talk) 23:03, 28 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment - There are a couple of thousand Ghits for "Muvaffakiyetsizleştiricileştiriveremeyebileceklerimizdenmişsinizcesine", which, according to the article, is the longest word in Turkish. Maybe we need a List of longest words by language or something and merge this into it.  Then we can also touch on the longest word in many languages. &mdash; LinguistAtLarge • Talk  22:51, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * That might be systemic bias writing. Is there any reason to believe that linguists, professional and hobbyist, have not studied other languages such as Turkish to any less depth in this area than they have studied the subject of the longest word in English?  We could mention "çekoslovakyalılaştıramadıklarımızdanmısınız" as well here, for starters. On the other hand, a parent article on longest words would not be amiss.  Compare some of the other articles in Category:Superlatives.  Uncle G (talk) 23:47, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete The longest word in Turkish may belong on the Turkish Wiki, or conversely, we could have a Longest Word in Each Language-type article. But there is no real point I see in having a longest-word article for an individual world langusge on the English wiki. Eauhomme (talk) 20:28, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment- We have an article about he longest word in Spanish. I'm starting an AfD on that, since we are thinking about deleting this.Cssiitcic (talk) 20:46, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment- If an article which includes longest words of all the languages, this can be deleted then. But until then, keep.--Cfsenel (talk) 16:27, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. It appears to be real, and might be useful to our users.  Wikipedia is not running out of space; we are not a printed set of books. Bearian (talk) 21:12, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep virtually anything of record-breaking reknown seems to be notable around here; this too. And yes, we can have 6000 more of these for each other language (including Klingon, if sourced). Carlossuarez46 (talk) 22:38, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. This content is not suitable for an encyclopedia. (Apply liberally to other "Longest word in ___" articles.) -Atmoz (talk) 20:08, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete or merge to Turkish language or rename to word itself. This article is an unnecessary fragment and definitely unsuited for inclusions as a seperate entry. &there4; here&hellip;&spades; 03:57, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - just want to make sure it's clear I recommend keeping this article, since I wasn't very explicit above. After keeping, a merge with the language or with a "longest words" article can be discussed. &mdash; LinguistAtLarge • Talk  05:00, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, but I would not object to merging into Longest words, and splitting out when and if enough reliable source material is found to make this more like Longest word in English. DHowell (talk) 05:16, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to Turkish language per here. It would make more sense if it was there, since it covers the language and possibly the list of words. Versus22 talk 08:46, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
