This article has attracted repeated discussion whether Kurds are or are not Iranian, including the position that they instead be considered Median or Indo-European. At this time, a consensus has been reached that Kurds are often classified as Iranian, based on the reliable sources contained in the article. Before requesting the removal of the Iranian description, please familiarize yourself with the cited sources, as well as the prior discussions about this issue on this talk page and its archives. Your concerns may have already been addressed.

Under the Religion section on the main page Muslim or Islam is not listed in bold as are the other listed religions

The main religion of the Kurds Muslim or Islam is downplayed by not being listed in bold print as the other less practiced religions. Someone making a fast scan of this article would might be mislead to missing that fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Meztoa (talk • contribs) 18:16, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Flag doesn't belong to the Kurds

First of all, there is no single source that says that flag belongs to the Kurds. Second thing is that no other ethnicies have a flag added to their ethnicity box. Requesting the flag to be removed. SkyEditor85 (talk) 17:15, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 26 December 2021

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Requesting so called "Kurdish flag" to be removed. Other ethnicities do not use flag, neither there is a single flag. The current flag belongs to the Iraqi Kurdistan regional government and it's even banned in some NE Syrian Kurdish areas. The flag isn't even allowed in many Northern Kurdish meetings. SkyEditor85 (talk) 17:19, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It is the ethnic flag of Kurds. I'm not well-versed in whether flags are inappropriate in these infoboxes, but if nothing forbids it, I see no issue. --Semsûrî (talk) 17:27, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There is no such as ”ethnic flag of Kurds”. The flag belongs to the Iraqi Kurdistan and it is even illegal in many Kurdish areas. Use a source which could defend your claim, please. SkyEditor85 (talk)

I'm not here to debate your lies. The flag belongs to KR when it was created decades prior? Go somewhere else with your POV editing please. --Semsûrî (talk) 15:32, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, now I understand you better. To all editors who still have some common sense, the flag doesn't belong to the Kurds, it's Iraqi Kurdistan flag and there is no single source claiming it's ethnic flag of the Kurds. Requesting deletion. Additionally, someone please report this user and inspect his/her edits. SkyEditor85 (talk) 10:28, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You have failed to gather consensus. The flag is not Iraqi but has its origins in Turkish Kurdistan and Xoybun around 1927 and has since been used by Kurds in all parts of Kurdistan and the diaspora. This is not controversial information. --Semsûrî (talk) 10:49, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 28 December 2021

It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at Kurds. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

there is a Kurd population of 200,000 in Afghanistan. They were deported into eastern Persia (modern day Afghanistan) by shah abbas and continue to live in Afghanistan and kept their language and customs.

Disputed flag

Please consider joining the feedback request service.

When discussion has ended, remove this tag and it will be removed from the list. If this page is on additional lists, they will be noted below.

An ethnic flag has been added to the article, but the flag actually belongs to the Iraqi Kurdistan, an autonomous region inside Iraq. The flag doesn't belong to all Kurds, neither it's universally agreed as a common flag by Kurds. There are no single source proving the flag is an ethnic flag of the Kurds. Thus I believe it should be deleted. Requesting neutral opinion or instructions how to continue from this point. SkyEditor85 (talk) 17:40, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
