Kurdish Politicians
qasim amin was also of kurdish origin. source http://www.bakhawan.com/dotkurd/nebez/Inglizi/TheKurds.pdf
I don't think illegal Kurdish terrorists such as Abdullah Ocalan should be considered as "politicians". They are simply not politicians, but mere terrorists.
why was Nezami Ganjavi removed? if his mother was kurdish according to the sources of the main article, it makes him of kurdish extraction as well..
Abdullah Ocalan
I think Abdullah Ocalan should be considered as politicians. Whether he is a terrorist, this is a subjective opinion. It is not objective. But he is a politician for millions of kurds. That should be respected. So his name should be out of "Others". --Xerabi (talk) 16:58, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
Where is the evidence that "Abu Omar al-Kurdi" is really Kurdish?
I have removed this name from the list, since there is no evidence that he is really Kurdish. There are lots of Arab people in Egypt and Syria who have the family name Al-Kurdi. If there is evidence or proof of this guy being Kurdish, then provide the links please.
Removed from the List---> "Abu Omar al-Kurdi, was a top bombmaker for Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's organization in Iraq, Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad."

The page is about Renowned Kurds
Agreed. However the list is about Kurdish personalities in politics, literature and science. Al-Kurdi, isnot well known among Kurds, while this list is about Renowned Kurds. You can include it in a list of Kurdish terrorists. He is not neither a writer nor a poet nor a politician. However, please note that I amnot pushing a POV, since Mulla Krekar another controversial figure and also Ocalan ( considered to be terrorist in the West) are included. The reason for their inclusion, is that these two are well known figures, both were leading political parties (though violent). But this guy Al-Kurdi is at most an obscure figure, he doesnot head any recognizable movement and his name has been mentioned only once in a news article. So I don't think that he is qualified to be considered a well-known personality.

@Heja Helweda: May I ask why you deleted "Bijan Zolfaqarnasab" [[1]]. He is renowned and well respected in Iran.--Sepid aan (talk) 19:48, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Why are there no famous Kurdish Athletes?
Where is Ismet Inonu?
Or did the fascists ignore his Kurdish identity after the Dersim revolt. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Doganaktas (talk • contribs) 21:47, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- His family is from Bitlis and as such he has mixed Turkish and Armenian ancestors. As you should know Armenians did not like the Kurds that much during those years. Is this explanation enough to your Dersim comment ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.96.47.123 (talk) 16:51, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
Southern Kurdish
why Baba Tahir, Karim-Khan Zand, and celebrated Yarsan poets of Guran and Lak have not been included? Most of those who have been included are politicians. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lekistan (talk • contribs) 02:45, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
