Welcome to WP. You have added several cats to articles about Turkish music or musicians. Thanks. However some of the cats are red (ie, they don't exist in WP) like Turkish makam music. Why don't you create these cats. Cheers.Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 12:45, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Abdurrahman Bahir Efendi (Arabzade)

The article Abdurrahman Bahir Efendi (Arabzade) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.  Crown Prince  ^Talk 12:48, 24 October 2013 (UTC)  Crown Prince  ^Talk 12:48, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

• Of course we need sources. But Abdurrahman Bahri is not a living person and the rationale for the deletion is quite groundless. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 12:59, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

The resource is a digital encyclopedia(mus2okur). I have edited my entry. I am just learning how to contribute. I appreciate feedback. BarisBozkurtBahcesehir

Speedy deletion nomination of A. Bâki Çallıoğlu

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on A. Bâki Çallıoğlu requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Dictionary definitions

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a dictionary. Entries consisting of a mere fragment of a sentence defining what a thing is without any further expansion are often deleted, especially if they are copied verbatim from another website. Please refrain from creating such articles in the future. Rather than creating lots of little articles about all sorts of different musical genres, perhaps expanding the existing Music of Turkey article to reference some of these styles (in that article, a short one sentence description of each style would be fitting)? WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 17:33, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback but I don't understand: if there is a definition of a term, should we not put it in Wikipedia? is it better that a definition does not exist? Music of Turkey if too broad to contain all term related to it. I try to create an organised network of terms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Turkish_makam_music that is then linked to the main description. For example, when I put the definition of a musical form (one sentence) and link to the category, this will also make the category more complete. (Baris)

No. If all you have is a definition, it is better to put it into Wiktionary instead. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 19:58, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
