This is a WP:HOAX. I have expertise in the subcontinental history of the first millennium and have never heard of such a "dynasty"; additionally, neither Reference 1, which is a Russian translation of Bosworth's Handbook, evidences any such dynasty nor does Reference 2.

Was in the middle of disambiguation of links when Turushka came up. This led me here.

Reading both sets of sources used thru the archive library https://archive.org/embed/islamicdynasties0000bosw_g4s2 page 196 is actually where you want to go. This source actually says different than the article.

The other source listed, Brockhaus And Efron Jewish Encyclopedia, doesn't say anything about a Turkish royal dynasty, it's also in Russian which makes for a slow read. https://archive.org/embed/BrockhausAndEfronJewishEncyclopedia

Looking at the edit history and page creation in other languages. It's obvious this was ethnic revisionist article that accidentally got approved most likely because the original source was in Russian and can't be easily translated by computer screen so most likely the approval was WP:FAITH.

After this article is approved for deletion, considering that the editor who made this article has already spread it to two other wiki language projects, I recommend that we ask one of our sysops to contact the other wiki projects to handle speedy deletion.

If someone hasn't already done it, please add a Speedy deletion template.

Delete a reference to the Turushka can be found on p. 197 of Bosworth's handbook, but defines them as "Muslim Turkish mercenaries"—nowhere near a dynasty. What Bosworth says elsewhere on the provided pages disproves everything else the article claims. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:20, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per @TrangaBellam and @RCSCott91. This article was soley approved on the reviewers good faith but unfortunately it was abused here. As stated above, there is no historical record of this supposed “dynasty”. Leading to the undeniable conclusion that It never existed. Someguywhosbored (talk) 07:18, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
