[edit] Proposal

I think it would be a good idea to move the info about the Meskhetian Turks into a new article, and turn this article into a disambiguation page. If there are no objections I'll make the necessary changes in a weeks time. —Khoikhoi 03:35, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey Khoi. That looks like a good idea to me. My suggestion is to do it this way. Three pages:
I’m not sure about the last one, however. The Meskhetians don’t differ culturally or linguistically from other Georgians and I'm afraid there's not much to say about them in a separate article. Perhaps we should redirect Meskhetians to Meskheti, a historic province of Georgia. What do you think? Kober 05:17, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
I was actually thinking we should keep the stuff about the (non-Turk) Meskhetians in this article, and have something like this:

Meskhetians may refer to:

  • Meskhetians (Meskhs), ethnic Georgians and the indigenous population of Meskheti (Samtskhe-Javakheti) province of Georgia).

That way we woudln't need a Meskhetians (disambiguation) page, and we woudln't have to create a separate article about the non-Turk Meskhetians. —Khoikhoi 05:27, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Go ahead, Khoi. This is the best solution, I guess. --Kober 05:33, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Green light Khoi! Keep up with the good work :) Ldingley 15:19, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Alright then! :-) I guess I'll wait a week. —Khoikhoi 05:38, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
