Twent Dwellers bit.[edit]
Hello!
There's a part in the wikipage:
"There are different theories about the origin of the name Kurd. According to one theory, it originates in Middle Persian as كورت kwrt-, a term for "nomad; tent-dweller".[Note 1] After the Muslim conquest of Persia, this term was adopted into Arabic as kurd-, and was used specifically for nomadic tribes.[Note 2]"
This is a well known propaganda and racist line that the Turkish regime and Iranian regime used to deny Kurdish ethnicity. It has been proven to be false many times. Just incase I was wrong, I clicked the link and note 2, to be taken to where they got this information from, clicked search and went looking for where it says that in the given cite, and no where does it say that in "Wayback Machine"'s book. I also read through the paragraph that was displayed, and again. Nothing. Please delete this part as it is false information passed down to deny Kurdish ethnicity. 70.29.14.147 (talk) 23:09, 10 August 2021 (UTC) Jason Vow
- "Tent-dweller" is verified by the sources in Note 2. Even if the information was incorrect, there is no denial of Kurdish identity. Drmies (talk) 01:34, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
- There's a literal wikipage on the denial of Kurdish identity, what are you on about? If you're uninformed about my people, please refrain from making such statements.

- That section about tent dwellers should be removed, as all it does it continue to spread misinformation and racist models from the Turkish and Iranian government about Kurds in order to continue Kurdish occupation. It has been proven to be false and outdated. 70.29.13.119 (talk) 05:42, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
Propose to move genetics section to Kurds#Genetics[edit]
As stated. Seems better to move whole genetics section to Kurds#Genetics --TataofTata (talk) 19:33, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

Hypothetical history[edit]
Early Kurdish principalities includes "One of these dynasties may have been able, during the decades, to impose its supremacy ... build a state incorporating the whole Kurdish country if the course of history had not been disrupted" based on "One of these dynasties would have been able, during the decades, to impose its supremacy on the others and build a state incorporating the whole Kurdish country if the course of history hadn't been disrupted" from https://www.institutkurde.org/en/institute/who_are_the_kurds.php.
Apart from "might have been" being preferable to "may ..." it's a hypothetical scenario which I feel should be avoided in an encyclopedia article. Mcljlm (talk) 17:01, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
Should be changed to "Iranic ethnic group" not Iranian.[edit]
Please see:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurds
Calling Kurds Iranian is dishonest as majority of us are outside of the country Iran. Iranic is the proper academic term to use for indo-Iranians. This was discussed in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Kurds as well. 70.29.13.216 (talk) 12:16, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
