Right-wing and left-wing armed conflicts (Republic of Turkey)

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

Redundant perhaps, in light of 1980 Turkish coup d'état? In any case, it is not well sourced. You decide. Adoniscik(t, c) 17:53, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep We do not delete articles because they have source or sourcing problems. We do not merge articles because of perceived connections between them. It sounds like proposing the deletion of Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria using a claim that "It is already covered under world war one and is redundant perhaps!" --Kemalist (talk) 02:35, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete--Partisan fork of 1980 Turkish coup d'état. There's something wrong about the title, seems like WP:SYN. --Jmundo (talk) 07:19, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete The only part of the page with proper contents that corresponds to the title are the right wing activities. The rest is either irrelevant or misleading. If the intention was to list incidents that culminated in the military coup of September 1980 the title should be changed accordingly.--Sc.helm (talk) 10:23, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak keep This does seem like synthesis, but I would caution against tossing it out completely. While researching Bloody Sunday (1969) I came across many more sources discussing the right/left conflict in this period than Bloody Sunday specifically.  A lot of those sources are from mid-east/near-east journals or newspaper articles long since archived.  Someone with some time on their hands and access to a university library (especially someone who can speak turkish) should be able to bring this up to standards.

 * Weak delete To me it's just one more article that some poor schmuck has to spend time sourcing. Remember: no sources, no use. It may as well as made up otherwise. I have already covered the right-wing attacks in Counter-Guerrilla. If somebody is going to write about attacks from the left we can keep it, otherwise it's just a waste of effort. --Adoniscik(t, c) 01:23, 28 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. This is rambling essay with very uneven dealing with the issues, for example Dev-Yol and Dev-Sol is not mentioned. Facts which are mentioned seem random selection. Perhaps some can be put into 1980 Turkish coup d'état but must be careful not to make "original research" by selection of facts. The article's title is much too general, this deals only with 70s.

 * Note: The history of the article mentions several moves and a split. Adoniscik might have merged content (not yet clear). It might be worth keeping an earlier version at a different name or rename the thing and redirect it if it was indeed merged elsewhere. - Mgm|(talk) 23:45, 28 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't remember merging or moving anything, but you can check. I contributed to other articles that cover the same ground, but I did not lift anything from this one, which is unsourced save for my efforts. --Adoniscik(t, c) 00:01, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
