Civilian casualties caused by PKK

POV content fork Soman 13:05, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete Per nom. and for reasons that I have already mentioned on the articles talkpage. Keep but rename to Casualties of the Turkish-Kurdish conflict -- Karl Meier 13:09, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but Rename to Casualties of the Turkish-Kurdish conflict as per article's talk -- - K a s h ^{Talk | email} 13:09, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Question: do we have an article covering terrorism in Turkey? To the extent these incidents are verified and the PKK has claimed responsibility or is widely presumed to have done it, these should not be deleted. The article may be a POV fork, but the content may still be salvageable. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 13:14, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Answer: Not sure about terrorism in Turkey but as you said it is indeed notable, should be kept but in a less POVed article such as mentioned above -- - K a s h ^{Talk | email} 13:16, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but Rename to Casualties of the Turkish-Kurdish conflict. I have also removed the individual teachers' biographies from this article, as Wikipedia is not a memorial. Vizjim 13:32, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and develop. Casualties of the Turkish-Kurdish conflict is misleading because if there was one, the whole country would have been ablaze. PKK is definable as an organization. Its actions are definable. There are other illegal (not to say terrorist) Kurdish movements aside from PKK, such as the Kurdish-Hizbullah. And there are Kurds in all levels of Turkish society, including the army. Why were some teachers a target for the PKK by the way? (the remark attracted my attention) --Cretanforever 14:42, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually to think of it.. There are a lot of Iranian casualities out of the conflicts caused by PKK and the rest too, I am not sure if we are ought to include them all in one article or not -- - K a s h ^{Talk | email} 14:48, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

IIRC the official site of PKK talks about "teachers were eliminated because they were destroying the kurdish culture"... or something along that line... --Cat out 00:32, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A specific pattern of terrorist acts pursued by a specific group is certainly notable. Killing teachers was a specific pattern for the PKK. There has been up to a million Iranian casualties in Iran-Iraq War, and among those casualties, those who have been killed by use of chemical substances by Iraq's Baath regime are certainly notable in the sense of a wiki article. --Cretanforever 14:59, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep: article is well referenced. POV problems, if any, can be solved. 1652186 18:22, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename. This article should also have the Kurdish POV. —Khoikhoi 18:58, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Rename per Karl Meier, although Casulaties of the conflict in Turkish Kurdistan or Casualties of the conflict in southeastern Turkey would work too. It is imperative that the article describe killings by both Turkish Military, PKK and Village guards. - FrancisTyers 19:50, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename, as per FrancisTyers--Aldux 21:50, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
First choice: rename and npovise Second choice: delete. The article currently serves only as a pov fork. This should be something like Timeline of PKK's activities or something along that line. Something like a Timeline of Kurdish-Turkish conflict would be inaproporate as I believe this article is exclusively about the PKK. Actualy, I do not see why we cant have both. :) --Cat out 00:30, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep All the information in the article are verified and they are about specific actions of PKK. Casualties of the Turkish-Kurdish conflict would not work because the article is not about Kurds but PKK and PKK is not the only representative of Kurds. --Hattusili 08:36, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but rename -- Casualties of the Turkish-Kurdish conflict or something very much like it. --Moby 10:21, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but NO rename. --Gokhan 11:39, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
