Q1: Why don't you rename this article 2023 Türkiye–Syria earthquake, the official name for the first listed country? A1: Because the English-language Wikipedia has a WP:COMMONNAME policy. We use names for countries and places that are the names commonly used for them in English, regardless of what official organizations use. Technically, this kind of name is known as an exonym. For example, we use the name Germany, instead of the native endonym Deutschland. If or when that general English-language usage changes (as has happened in the past with place names such as Mumbai and Beijing), the same WP:COMMONNAME policy implies that the English-language Wikipedia will necessarily also follow suit. So far, that hasn't happened. This has been discussed many times at Talk:Turkey, with the same result every time because of the common name policy; there is currently a moratorium at Talk:Turkey on further requests for name changes until 1 December 2023. Until that article is moved, this article will use Turkey in the article. |
![]() | On 20 September 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved from 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquaketo2023 Turkey–Syria earthquakes. The result of the discussion was moved. |
I know that because the earthquake was harsher in Turkey the title is written as 2023 Turkey-Syria earthquake. But isn't it better to write the country's names in alphabetical order? For example we have Afghanistan-Iran relations and Iran-Ukraine relations. Aminabzz (talk) 11:07, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The earthquake happened just 17 minutes after the start of main ceremony of 65th Annual Grammy Awards. So is it okay to include this as well in the article? Aminabzz (talk) 23:50, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The epicenter of the Kahramanmaras earthquake of February 6 was within the borders of west–northwest of Gaziantep, that is, Turkey. The fact that it also affected Syria does not mean that the earthquake took place in Syria. For example, 2008 Sichuan earthquake also affected Tayland, but it is not called a China-Tayland earthquake because its epicenter is in a town within the borders of China. I think the title should be changed to Gaziantep, Turkey earthquake. Zyzyyz (talk) 10:24, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Why does the article state, that it is the deadliest natural disaster in modern history? 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami? 130.225.188.128 (talk) 08:58, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
