Talk:Sheikh Bedreddin

The article, while otherwise ok, seems slightly weighted more towards picturing the subject as a 'proto-socialist' without considering his religious views. As a theologian surely his religious views are as important as his political views —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.193.153.71 (talk) 12:25, 16 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Page move without consensus

edit

@TheEagle107, I've noticed that you have moved this page without seeking consensus in an RM. While this is perfectly acceptable for uncontroversial moves, I would argue that this is not an uncontroversial move, and a review of the evidence is necessary. As far as I know "Sheikh Bedreddin" is by far the most WP:COMMONNAME for this person. Uness232 (talk) 03:07, 15 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

If you can, you should restore original title back Beshogur (talk) 15:36, 15 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Here are the statistics of the search results in the Google search:

This would make sense, but the Google search results for "Bad-al Din al-Simawi" show results of many other people unrelated to him. Google Scholar meanwhile, shows 232 results for Sheikh Bedreddin, 158 for Shaykh Bedreddin, and only 2 for Badr-al Din-al Simawi.
The name most familiar to readers has always been Sheikh Bedreddin, and calling religious people by their titles (see Mevlânâ), is very common in Turkey. Uness232 (talk) 20:20, 15 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

I think in his searches, he did not put Badr al-Din al-Simawi in quotes. I wouldn't mind this if the results that show up when you neglect this wasn't so different. Uness232 (talk) 20:24, 15 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Beshogur: @Uness232: Yes, I did not put the name/s in quotes. I have tried to move the article back to the old name, but I could not! Sorry for the inconvenience and best regards.--TheEagle107 (talk) 21:21, 15 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

It does look like this page can not be moved back to Sheikh Bedreddin the usual way; is there any way to solve this @Beshogur? Uness232 (talk) 06:38, 16 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Page now exists at the correct location, Sheikh Bedreddin :) ~ Eejit43 (talk) 19:25, 25 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
