This stub was created by a blocked user under the original title Ottoman Turkestan, which, now as a redirect, was just deleted by Liz as being incoherent. The current title is similarly incoherent, much the same as if someone were to create Roman region or Mughal region. If a "region" such as this truly exists, it is already covered under Ottoman Empire, making this stub WP:REDUNDANT. Havradim leaf a message 15:54, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete no evidence that there is any consistent use of this term in RIS. Mccapra (talk) 16:51, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The term "Ottomania", included in the stub as a synonym for the title, appears in actuality to refer to either a television series or a craft store. Havradim leaf a message 17:04, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- Ottoman is a corruption of the dynastic founder Osman. It is thus not a region. Perhaps this is about modern Turkey seeking hegemony over the area of the Ottoman Empire at its greatest extent, but this is not a good basis for an article.

Delete If Neo-Ottomanism was a real thing there could be an article about it. But even that seems to be a label invented by people who don’t like it. Nwhyte (talk) 01:22, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
