Terrorism in Turkey

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This page is a WP:POVFORK of Kurdish rebellions in Turkey, Kurdish–Turkish conflict (1978–present), Kurdish–Turkish conflict (2015–present), and possibly syrian civil war articles as well. Referring to Kurdish-Turkish conflict deaths as terrorism is Turkish POV.Icewhiz (talk) 06:55, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep but improve Legitimate article, just a search on google proves this article has notability. Very plausible search term. AlessandroTiandelli333 (talk) 07:07, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator. A very obvious WP:POVFORK. Extreme POV language being used (i.e. "an estimated 30,000 to 35,000 Turkish citizens were killed in terrorism-related incidents."). Sources in article refer to the 30,000+ deaths as part of the Kurdish-Turkish conflict, not terrorism. Étienne Dolet (talk) 07:35, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep but improve - article is not a fork off a PKK article but an attempt to cover the topic (which is a valid one) comprehensivly. The article currently has a number of groups mentioned, not just PKK. The article has multiple scholarly sources. And finally, it complements the category of terrorist incidents in Turkey. If you think the PKK angle is given undue weight, then by all means fix it (or tag it) but no need for an AfD discussion. I.am.a.qwerty (talk) 10:26, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Content fork and pov problems. Kierzek (talk) 11:12, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep but tag for improvement. Most terrorism is related to the conflict between the Turks and PKK, but some of the recent incidents may be by Al-Qaeda or Islamic State.  Indeed, it is possible that an attack by one of these was the cause of the ceasefire in the long-running Kurdish conflict breaking down, when the Turkish government blamed it on PKK.  I am not in a position to know who caused the outrage.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:29, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - This is certainly a notable and relevant topic. We must remember AfD is not a route towards improvement. This article needs tagging but certainly has the WP:RS required for an article.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 21:34, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep I don't see it as a POVFORK. Seems a notable topic in its own right. Not all terrorism in Turkey has been related to the Kurdish conflict.  Hawkeye7   (talk)  00:55, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
