Talk:Turks in Germany

Notable people

There is an extensive List of Turkish Germans page and therefore no need to repeat it all here. To avoid making the sub-headings extremely bulky it is best to place notable Turkish Germans who have gained prestigious awards, won elections, or represented a nation-state in sports/music etc. Most importantly, all information needs to be cited with references and written in a formal manner to fit the academic tone of this article. I have already volunteered to help expand this, and I more than welcome a discussion in which we can plan the best way to go about this. Sseevv (talk) 22:17, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Condensing the list of mosques

I don't think the list of mosques adds to the article - quite the opposite, I think it breaks the flow of the page since most readers are just going to scroll past it. Also, currently only two of the mosques have their own articles on the English Wikipedia, so it's not clear how "notable" they really are. How do people feel about condensing it to 2-3 mosques and putting in some text instead? For example, there's a decent amount of interesting information about how Turkish mosques are run, like the controversial role of DİTİB. Alternatively (or additionally) we could split off the list into its own article, although I'm not sure it would survive a notability challenge given there's already a List of mosques in Germany. --Tserton (talk) 09:00, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I would be eager to expand with text, but after the infobox is dealt with. Sseevv (talk) 17:59, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
So! I would suggest doing away with the list of mosques entirely (with the rationale that it is reproduced in List of mosques in Germany) and replacing it with a single picture of one of the mosques - maybe the first or biggest one. If there is strong opposition to deleting the list, we could split it into its own article, although we might want to think of a more objective title than List of Turkish mosques in Germany as not all the mosques are formally affiliated with Turkey or even the Turkish-German community. --Tserton (talk) 10:00, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Turkish Roma

There are also Turkish speaking Muslim Roma in Germany. The first Group came as Gastarbeiter from Turkey, the so called Romanlar, (romani in turkey), the Host population saw them as Turks like other Ethnic Turkish Gastarbeiter. The second Turkish Muslim Roma Groups in Germany, are from Bulgaria and Romania (Dobruja), they came to Germany when Bulgaria and Romania became member of the EU. The first Group are fully assimilated in Turkish society in Germany, nobody look them as Romani people. They havent anything to do with other Romani-Groups.

Well there is already the Romani people in Germany article. Sseevv (talk) 20:48, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Strange term

The article says that partial Turks are also called German-Turks. That can't be right! Where is the source for that?

A person whose parents are a Turkish-German couple can't be called the same as Turks in Germany whose two parents are Turkish. The correct term would be: Turko-Germans for people of mixed German-Turkish origin. Twiggycoco (talk) 22:26, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alamancılar

This term is not used in Turkish for people of mixed German-Turkish origin, as the article claims. Alamancılar are those Turks from Germany (both parents are of Turkish origin), but a mixed person is a Melez (singular) Melezler (plural). Often also called Melez Türk.
