Position of Turki

Al-Turki was just a sniper according to the Guardian . It doesn't seem that clear right now. Another source indicates that he was the leader of the group. That would leave it unclear what has happened to Abu Mohammed al Jolani, who has been the known leader of the Al Nusra Front. David O. Johnson (talk) 03:21, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

How important this person is? I don't think he should have an article... many snipers die, many group leaders died. It doesn't mean anything. He could lead a group of three men for what we know. --Anulmanul (talk) 13:19, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

I agree; the reason the article was created was it was initially reported that he was the overall leader of the Al-Nusra Front. Now that that does not seem to be case, I'm going to nominate the page for deletion.David O. Johnson (talk) 21:19, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

You do very well. I have seen sources like this one which speak of him as a 'commander'. As we know a commander may command an army or a platoon. In the first case the commander sure would be notable, whereby probably not in the latter one. Do you agree? --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 21:26, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

Of Turkish descent?

Étienne Dolet, where did you see that this person was 'of Turkish descent'? The word Turkish in the news item is used for any citizen/national of Turkey and the news does not speak of his ethnicity. So this edit of yours has no basis at all. As you know very well and use occasionally here in Misplaced Pages, Turkish citizens or nationals may well be of Armenian, Greek, Kurdish, Circassian, Hemshin or whatever other ethnicity. You will know better than anyone else why you needed to specify this 'of Turkish descent' without any justification but it cannot stay there. If you have any arguments to the contrary beware that the discussion may go to other places before you present them. Please kindly remove that wrong edit. --Why should I have a User Name?
