Ismail I

Safi-ad-din Ardabili is though that he was a Kurd. But at the era of Ismail I, the dynasty lost their Kurdishness (because of their Turkification). It's wrong and comic to enphasize Ismail I's grand grand grand fathers' Kurdishness. So we have to remove him.Takabeg (talk) 14:34, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

sorry my dear, there are sources which show us that he was kurd! He you have reliable and tangible sources , than, give it us, we can discuss on, but without any sources you cannot clean up everything by yourself! --Alsace38 (talk) 15:54, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see what you mean. They lost their Kurdishness? This is not about culture, this is about ethnic groups. That's the reason why this article doesn't include Turkish PKK members and Armenian singers who sang in Kurdish and lived around Kurds. I'm not sure whether you believe in biology and genetics, but when discussing origins of people, their genetic origins come before their cultural belongings.

yes you are right, i agree with you, that's true --Alsace38 (talk) 19:47, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately also as ethnic group, he didn't have such consciousness. Takabeg (talk) 11:29, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

the section is about kurdish roots and origins of some personns. The questions is not on whether Ismail 1 considered himselfes as kurdish or persian, ok? But according to give sources Shah Ismail the 1 is kurdish. If you have sources which prouve us that he is not kurdish, than, give it to us. --Alsace38 (talk) 11:59, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced sportsmen

I will remove the following people from the category "Sport" in 1-2 weeks unless sources stating that they are Kurdish are given: Bijan Zolfagharnasab, Burhan Eşer, Devran Ayhan and Salih Jaber. With it I will also remove the Refimprove tag. --Tirvane (talk) 16:04, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edit by 2A02:FE0:C210:6AA0:5F2:85C3:5B2F:2A16

Care to explain why you changed the template? I disagree with including the different countries, simply because many of those countries did not exist hundreds of years back. For example - Saladin is currently under Iraq, but there was no Iraq during his time. I can also see that there's already an entry on this, by Vekoler. I suggest, just like Vekoler, and the way that it was before this recent edit, that we go back to classifying them after profession. Best, Spivorg (talk) 14:28, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Is he kurd?--Kaiyr (talk) 20:43, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Link spam

Hi Folks, this is currently a list of link-spam, with no indication of why these people are notable. Currently it is a list of names, with no indication why they are important. Half the article is unsourced. When a look up a list of List of Germans it came up with this. It much better defined. I'll leave it for the moment to be improved. If I come back and review it a second time, I will redirect it. scope_creep^Talk 10:52, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

List of Kurds is more sourced than List of Germans. Adding a short description can be done easily but in regards to the references, it doesn't seem that many of the "List of *" are actually sourced but depend on the info on the articles themselves. Semsûrî (talk) 11:04, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
