Disambiguating 'Mimar'

[edit]

I wish to assert here that this page should be repurposed from a redirect to the Architects of Iran page to a disambiguation between that page, Ottoman architecture — given the lack of a page dedicated to Ottoman architects, which I plan to write as soon as possible —, Islamic architecture, and the pages for a number of figures most often referred to with the honorific title 'Mimar' added to their names as an identifier, such as Mimar Sinan.

I understand why my edit was reversed by @ToadetteEdit, but I hope this may be an agreeable compromise, especially given the prevalence of this particular word in the lexicons of most Islamic and/or Turco-Persian architectural traditions and the undue weight allocated to one particular locality over the rest in the decision to redirect. yaguzi (talk) 22:57, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I tried my hand at a disambiguation. I am not so sure that there is WP:NOPRIMARY (the research use seems to heavily favor Mimar Sinan, so perhaps a redirect to the latter with a hatnote there for Iranian architects might be better). Викидим (talk) 03:13, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
