Gürdal Duyar

Güzel İstanbul damaged and standing in its new location in Yıldız Park
Güzel İstanbul damaged and standing in its new location in Yıldız Park

Improved to Good Article status by Gazozlu (talk). Self-nominated at 17:18, 8 November 2022 (UTC).

Ready to be reviewed
*Note: Güzel İstanbul is not yet a Good Article. Please do not review until that assessment is complete. If GA status is not achieved in a reasonable time, I suggest that the nomination of Gürdal Duyar proceed on its own, and Güzel İstanbul can have a separate DYK at a later date.  MANdARAXXAЯAbИAM  21:50, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
@Mandarax: Understood! I would like to nominate Abdi İpekçi Peace Monument independently, and wait for an update on the GAN of Guzel Istanbul for the other one. I'll un-bold Gürdal Duyar from Template:Did you know nominations/Abdi İpekçi Peace Monument.-- Gazozlu 21:27, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
@Mandarax: It doesn't look like Güzel İstanbul will become a GA soon enough due to the big backlog at nominations, so I have un-bolded Güzel İstanbul and changed the nomination to only Gürdal Duyar.---Gazozlu (talk) 20:48, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
Okay. The hooks above are about the sculpture. If you want to save those hooks for when you eventually nominate Güzel İstanbul, you may remove them now and replace with other hook(s) about Gürdal Duyar. Or you can keep them here. Whatever you want to do. Also, Gazozlu, it looks like you've been signing with just three tildes, which results in just your name but not the timestamp. (I added timestamps for you above.) Pings, such as the ones you attempted to do for me, do not work unless the timestamp is also present. Please remember to always sign with four tildes (~~~~).

  • @Gazozlu: The article seems to make extensive use of Geni.com, which is unreliable per WP:RSPS. There are also other seemingly unreliable sources like Internet Cini, which is clearly a personal blog. Is Galaksi Rehber a blog for an online art shop? Please double-check your sources for reliability and remove or replace them where required.
Additionally, ALT2 and ALT3's claims are not covered by the article, so I cannot consider them for this DYK. The other five seem to be variations of the same claims. What about this compression:
AGF on the offline sources. Regards, IceWelder [] 01:08, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
I think the problem with the hook as you propose it, is that it wasn't removed by a unanimous decision of the government, rather the MSP half of the coalition was the one seeing the sculpture as a problem, and it was eventually removed by the order of Oğuzhan Asiltürk. All the while being debated in society (mainly between the traditional-conservatives and the pro-art&social-democratic people of society) whether the nude sculpture was obscene/suggestive or just a work of fine art. This affair was something that caused a rift between the two coalition parties because Necmettin Erbakan to break off the coalition if the sculpture was not removed. This political crisis is covered in (Antmen 2009) and also this non-free documentary. Gazozlu (talk) 23:51, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
I've also added in the part where Seyhun Topuz said about the affair, that it almost brought an end to the coalition government. This would support ALT2 and ALT3 hooks. Gazozlu (talk) 23:54, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for the clarification. I would now support ALT2 and ALT3 as well. The sourcing issues should still be addressed, though. IceWelder [] 07:48, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
-Internet Cini blog source has been removed.
-Galaksi Rehber isn't a blog, it's some kind of directory where certain writers propose and write about the things pictured in images and people can upvote them. There is a link to a blog but that is a separate website.
-Some of the sources from Geni have been removed. Some others are text dumps of newspaper articles or are other sources in the photo hosted on Geni. Gazozlu (talk) 21:45, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
With incorrect sources now removed, the sentence "The next year Duyar made an Ataturk monument for Kayseri which was inaugurated in 1977." is left with no source at all. The sentence should get a new source or be removed. Additionally, Jonesey95 identified several references that do point to actual sources, which also need fixing.

I have added new sources and changed the text to be more accurate.Gazozlu (talk) 20:33, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
  • Thank you for all your work. I think the article and hook are ready now. IceWelder [] 07:32, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
