[edit] Article Category
More broadly speaking, "Turki" is a word that is in common usage for variety of things related to Turks and in a widespread area. It could be used for language spoken by Turks, could imply culture of Turks and even dynasties. Its usage is also widespread from South Asia (Turki in Urdu language is exactly the same as Turki in Persian) to Central Asia to Turkey. Lastly, the Turks being referred in the context of Turki are not necessarliy from Turkey. Perhaps, the word category should be changed to "Disambiguation". In addition, may be a broader definition of Turki be defined.

[edit] Is this page necessary?
Turki is identical to Turkish except it is in another language. Do we need such a page (whether it was Turki or Turkish); it seems more like it belonges in Wiktionary. How do we request deleting useless pages. --Maha Odeh 10:21, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
- Instead of deleting it, suggest a merge. To do so, add the following to the top of this page: {{Mergeto|Turkish language}} and the following to the top of the Turkish language article: {{Mergefrom|Turki}}. I could, of course, add these myself, but since I don't know whether such merge would be justified or not, I'd rather not to. Please let me know if you have any questions about the procedure, though.

- Well, since you put it that way, I'd rather the person who created the page give his/her input, maybe there is a justification and the page hence would require expanding rather than deleting or merging. --Maha Odeh 05:19, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
- The person who created this page has not edited since April 2007, so I wouldn't get my hopes up. You might be better off by suggesting a merge, which would at least solicit some comments from other folks interested in/knowledgeable about the subject.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 15:27, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
