Talk:Yılmaz Güney

Turkish citizenship

According to reliable sources, Yılmaz Güney was a Kurdish director. As you know, Turkish government removed his citizenship. I've read a news that claimed his rights of citizenship had been returned in 1993. Anyway his ethnic Turkishness was zero. And Turkish citizenship was forgotten. But we can give information about his citizenship problem with sources. Wikiepdia must not contribute to the Turkish Ethnocentrism and Turkish legal system. Thank you.

According to WP:MOSBIO citizenship is mentioned in the opening paragraph, not ethnicity or sexuality. Yilmaz Guney was a Turkish citizen and that's why it is mentioned in the opening, it is not about ethnicity. That's why Barack Obama is called an American without mentioning his African roots in the opening, or Napoleon a French although he is ethnically Italian, or Seedorf a Dutch although he is ethnically Surinamese. If you have evidence which shows Yilmaz Guney had "Kurdish citizenship" share it and include it in the opening, but he does not. Ethnicity may be mention in the "Early life" or "Personal life" sections. If you have a hard time understanding the rules please consult a peer. Thanks Karfiol (talk) 21:52, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

As you know, he was not Turkish citizen when he died. Takabeg (talk) 23:20, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

"The Kurdish director from Turkey" is appropriate and realistic expression. Takabeg (talk) 23:28, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

He has been born a Turkish citizen and lived as such throughout almost all of his life/career. His citizenship has been subject to political controversy for a while but his status has also been granted in 1992, just like Nazim Hikmet. Mr. Guney has never had a "Kurdish citizenship" to note in the opening. This is a very simple concept. Karfiol (talk) 23:55, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

As according to WP:Bio, which you errantly believe entitles you remove what you hate, states, "Ethnicity or sexuality should not generally be emphasized in the opening unless it is relevant to the subject's notability.". Which in this case his being an assimilated Kurd, directly stated by Guney, is relevant. Which is supported by the reference where he states being forced NOT to use the Kurdish language in his film is also relevant. Your censorship is over. --Kansas Bear (talk) 00:27, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

According to Wikipedia:Notability what he is notable is his work, not his ethnicity. Anything related to his ethnicity, or any ethnicity related subject he touched in his work, or his quotes may be mentioned in the relevant sections, not in the opening. He is notable for being an actor, director, screen writer etc. He is not a Kurdish ethnic leader or he didn't become famous for being a Kurd; hence irrelevant/not notable as such - removed. Your ethnic promotion is over. Karfiol (talk) 01:21, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

He is notable for being a director that states himself that his notability is an "assimilated Kurd" and that being a Kurd he was suppressed from using Kurdish in films. That is notable. You can not hide from the facts. YOUR interpretation of something is not important, supplying relevant facts to the reader IS important. Nothing justifies your censorship. --Kansas Bear (talk) 01:49, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Like I previously said, those all can go into the relevant sections. Nothing is censored when those are included in the biography. Opening section however, has it's own rules. An ethnic leader, someone who is murdered for his ethnicity, an ethnic rights activist etc may be notable for ethnicity, but when you start adding everyone who had quotes or work regarding ethnicity you will need to change at least %80 of all biographies on Wikipedia. For example Steven Spielberg is (rightfully) named an "American" not Jewish American and not American of Jewish descent but only "American" - although he is Jewish and has several works and quotes on Holocoust, but that's his work; he is not notable for being a Jew, but being a director, hence those go into relevant sections. Karfiol (talk) 02:02, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

"American" isn't an ethnicity, it is a nationality. "Turkish", de-facto, is an ethnicity. Nor has anyone in America been saying Jews can't call themselves Jews or speak Yiddish or Hebrew. If he was neither Turkish by ethnicity, by ideology, or, latterly, even by nationality, how can he honestly be described as being "Turkish"? "Born in Turkey" or "Turkish-born" seems better. Scribblescribblescribble (talk) 19:34, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Actually, "Turkish" is also a nationality, whether you like it or not. Güney directed almost all of his films in Turkey with Turkish actors and he was a Turkish citizen until two years before his death, so he is a Turkish director of Kurdish origin. I am currently looking for a guideline for the usage of the term "Nationality" in biographies and will update the infobox accordingly. Use some other website to spread your propaganda.

Director section

It says in the text that Guney was in prison while certain films were made of his screenplays, and so I do not understand why they are listed at the bottom as directed by him.

During this stretch of incarceration, his most successful screenplays were Sürü (The Herd, 1978) and Düşman (The Enemy, 1979), both directed by Zeki Ökten ... After escaping from prison in 1981 and fleeing to France, Güney won the Palme d'Or at the 1982 Cannes Film Festival for his film Yol, whose director in the field was once again Şerif Gören. It was not until 1983 that Güney resumed directing ...
