Talk:Kurdification

This is not a real term, I will nominate it for deletion. --D.Kurdistani 09:46, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to know what warrants a "real" term. A google search yields 1,690 results for "Kurdification" and, while that's not a particularly large number, it's obviously used by some people. Unless there are reliable sources that prove otherwise, this article should stay as is. Now, the current deletion tag says that "Wikipedia is not a dictionary", so I guess the "real term" argument has been dropped in favour of a "delete it because it's a stub" argument. Yes, so far the article is a dictionary definition, but that doesn't mean it can be expanded to include encyclopedic content. If this page is deleted, then you have to delete Turkification, Arabization, and so on. --334 18:51, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree, really. There needs to be more meat in this article as well as some professional uses of the term. Terms like Arabization have some root due to the nature of past absorption through the spread of Islam. "Turkification" is not too set into stone.

Kurdification makes no sense, and this article seems more like a POV article written by someone who laments over the loss of village lands by the Kurds during their tribal wars. In order for this term to be considered as such, there has to be an establishment that the Kurdish boundaries have seen great changes due to such things, not a speck of land added after some tribal feuds.--MercZ 21:35, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
