IP additions

[edit]

I meant to roll back the recent additions using Twinkle with the AGF tagline, but using WP rollback still seems appropriate in this case. I can't find a single mention of the name "Karabakh tulip" being used in any reputable source, and the Latin name provided, which also incorporates "Karabakh" appears to be made up, from what I can tell. Perhaps these are actually colloquial and scientific names used in Turkey (and Azerbaijan), but they don't appear to have any currency outside those countries, and I would guess it's part of the ongoing political, cultural, and historical revision taking place having to do with anything "Armenian". If someone can find an RS citation for any of this, feel free to make the edit. Quinto Simmaco (talk) 16:43, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

EDIT: The scientific name isn't made up, but it does appear to be promoted for political reasons, which I personally understand better now having read the appropriat articles related to the region. The name "Karabakh tulip", however, appears virtually nowhere. and is definitely not a common name. Regardless, the alternate / synonymous latinate name is still in the article; neither of the additions needs to be in the lede, since neither is a common name in the literature or in cultural parlance.

I agree with both points (common name and scientific name). Peter coxhead (talk) 10:44, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
