Category talk:Flags of the 16 Great Turkic Empires
IMHO meaningless wrong categorization and title. At first I thought the cat-opener was confused by the name of this file. Later I saw EN:WP has an article about "Sixteen Turkish States" (concept) but under a "Great Empires" title. My experience in EN:WP -which ended in expulsion- showed me that for certain users of that platform "Turk-bashing" has no limits. Rules of WP may be forgotten, ignored, changed or simply violated when it comes to using WP for their own anti-whatever (nations, countries, religions etc) POVs. Therefore I can understand how they left apart the sourced and commonly used "16 Türk Devleti" - "Sixteen Turkish States" and invented this "Great Empires" thingy, using the "also known as" formula without any reliable sources. This is about the title. I. e. We must change it. About contents: Shall we place under Turkey all those states, with all their files? Probably not necessary but if anyone goes to look at the EN:WP text, "Turkey" is also listed as one of the "16 Great Turkish Empires". (Thanks guys. :) The problem is, the list lists 17 states! (Well WP is not a reliable source.) Lastly, none of my words here are directed at our colleague who opened the cat or anyone else who contributed to it. I am only opening to discussion the cat itself. E4024 (talk) 18:54, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
- Subtracting your rant, you appear to propose to rename the category to "Sixteen Turkish States"?
- This topic is of very marginal notability. But it makes sense to keep these fictional flags in a separate category, because people kept mixing them in with historical flags. Idk what the most common name is, you tell us.
- Google books suggests that for English usage, "16 Great Turkic Empires" (158 hits) is more common than either "16 Great Turkish Empires" (65 hits) or "16 Turkic Empires" (25 hits) or "16 Turkish Empires" (51 hits).

- Rant: Woaw, I'm being accused of saying "silly things". One person less to talk to in Commons. Good-bye. --E4024 (talk) 15:51, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
- Rename to Category:Flags of the 16 Great Turkic Empires. This cat is composed of flag images and under Category:Symbols of Turkey. Josh (talk) 19:53, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
@E4024 and Dbachmann: Closed (rename Category:Sixteen Great Turkish Empires to Category:Flags of the 16 Great Turkic Empires) Josh (talk) 21:12, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
