Pan-Turkism
In my opinion this article is 99.81% POV and doesn't look salvagible, should either be competely rewriten (which not much would be left) as I oppose the article and dispute its factuality. I am a bad cadinadte to do the work myself, I will check the article left and if it is neutral should not bug me. In my opinion this information is a political discussion and wikipedia is not a soapbox for those. Regardless of factuality article is not neutral and a good number of people would be "offended" and go into a revert spree.
 * Delete or completely rewrite --Cool Cat| My Talk 08:23, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is one of a series of articles that includes Pan-Slavism as well as Pan Arabism, Greater Germania and Grossdeutschland, and Greater Albania, Greater Poland, Greater Romania, Greater Serbia. These should be referenced at Pan-Turkism under "See also". --Wetman 08:40, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep Contrary to what you think, Coolcat, the article describes a real political/cultural movement and is therefore relevant. Add/edit if you think some of it could be bettered. The article is reasonably widely linked and has not resulted in any revert warring. Refdoc 09:36, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup as necessary. Kappa 10:38, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep a real movement which deserves an article. Pan-turkism is in Encyclopædia Britannica and I consider proof enough for notability. Jeltz talk  15:19, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable topic, and not even a rampantly POV article.  Alai 19:22, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, and rewrite. Megan1967 02:26, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep.Seems a reasonable article to me and on a notable subject, being the philosophy of Enver Pasha who was a key figure of the Armenian genocide and an influence on Kemal Ataturk, the founder of modern turkey. Obviously the Britannica thinks so too. Capitalistroadster 18:04, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and clean up. Binadot 20:16, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Doesn't look POV at all, and certainly it's accurate, if not long enough to be too informative. - Mustafaa 06:54, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I completely agree with Mustafaa.
 * Keep. What's the problem with this that warrents deletion.--Briangotts 21:35, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. ;) --Nerval 05:13, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
