[edit] Criticism of Atatürk

POV fork of Kemal Atatürk. --Carnildo 22:32, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Whole article about Mustafa Kemal is positive-POV. This so-called hero wasn't saint. Keep and cleanup to higher standard. -- Darwinek 10:33, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete The page is largely unencylopedic, the most valid points from this article, criticism by Kurds and Islamists, is covered in Kemal Ataturk under "Criticism of Reforms". No respectable source accuses Ataturk of sanctioning a genocide. --A.Garnet 12:02, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

Comment Usually I will want this article deleted, because ciritics of Ataturk should be included in his own entry. But since Turkish nationalists consider that dictator as more suprem than Allah, and will not premit criticism in his own entry, I don't know what other alternative there can be. If Ataturks entry was to be like how articles should be written, than I will be the first placing this article to deletion. For now, I don't know if this article should be deleted or not.

Comment, i have more than three times tried to add a more a encylopedic criticism section to Ataturk here, here and here (dismissing much of the pro-Turk rhetoric such as Kurds dont exist) only for it to be replaced by this article. --A.Garnet 16:27, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

• Merge with Kemal Atatürk which could do with an expansion of the criticism section. Martg76 12:26, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I agree with Darwinek's above comment. -- Karl Meier 12:25, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to Kemal Atatürk moink 06:15, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
