Comments

I added the reference to the specific song Şımarık because I came here with the goal of finding the name of "that Turkish song" which was popular in 1999. Since others might appreciate a shorter route, I included the link. All I ask is that the link stay.

Tarkan

Tarkan is NOT a performer of Arabesque-pop music - especially when there is no such genre and somebody has just made it up. In Turkey there is no such sound - the closes can arguably could be a genre known as "fantazi" which is a mixture of belly-dancing beats with Arabic melodies. Tarkan dueting with an Arabesque singer (NOT arabesque pop) doesn't make him a performer in this non-existent genre. 82.145.231.52 01:51, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Check out the vandal's contributions and you'll see what I mean.

No it isn't a real genre of music! Some Arab or Greek guy is trying to create a new genre in Turkish music so that he can promote Arab culture in an underhand way. He has been vanadlising all the Turkish music pages. There is no such category. 14:21, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Is this a real genre of music? I can't seem to get many google hits, perhaps someone could show me one. Kappa 11:33, 15 January 2006 (UTC) http://www.kalan.com/scripts/Dergi/Dergi.asp?did=5&t=2[reply]

Merging

I believe that this should be merged with the list and that this should be the main page for it. I know about 80-90% of the people on that huge list and I, doing 1 or 2 a week, could slowly add them onto wikipedia. Thank you for your help on this matter. --Abcdefgy

Copyright concerns

Some of the material appears to be lifted in whole chunks from another source, the editor adding it has the same username as the author of the original apparently and has included a byline in text (which is probably an WP:manual of style issue). Can the editor confirm that he actually owns the copyright to this material such that he can post it here under the GFDL?--Doug.^{(talk • contribs)} 20:49, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect

I never said that Turkish pop music doesn't exist, but the way the article looked at the time was just unsourced and in an unencyclopedic tone. Although the revised version was trimmed down, it was still in an unencyclopedic tone and unsourced--save for a single bibliography link; and that alone with an unencyclopedic blurb does not equate to notability, imo.

Well, but now it is a redirect to something quite distinct from what Turkish pop is. I was redirected from the article music of Turkey and tried to understand how it became simply a redirect to the generic international pop music. --Esperfulmo (talk) 14:52, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
