This page is heavily biased and full of non relevant praise of Alp Arslan and the conquest of Anatolia. I dont know much about the topic which is why I searched my way here, the praise and deification of him and his conquest makes any information in the article suspicious and not credible. It would do well with an overhaul by a scholar who doesnt think he was a saint. --83.209.20.154 (talk) 13:44, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alp Arslan is a heroic figure to the Turkish people therefore in the viewpoint of Turks he is equal in comparison to other heroes of old, indeed the article is not biased if one views it like this nor does it contain any fictional representations as indicated by listing the defeats and victories of the time in which Alp Arslan served as the leader of the Seljuk people.
