Article's name[edit]

Should we call this article the "Turkish police force", "Turkish National Police", or "General Directorate of Security"? The first is the first one the average reader would think of. The second is what we currently have. The third is the official one. I propose to have the first two redirect to the third; it is ugly, but official. I note that the Turkish WP uses tr:Emniyet Genel Müdürlüğü (third one). --Adoniscik^{(t, c)} 00:49, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Because we can have redirects to whatever, the most easy-to-find name for the average user makes sense to me. I couldn't get a single name out of the internet, so I went for what the most common seemed to be. "General Directorate of Security" is confusing for the reader, and this article is about the actual police force - I understand the GDS to be slightly above that? I presume you speak/are Turkish... ninety:one 21:22, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GDS is the official name of the police force, just as the National Intelligence Organization is the official name of the civilian intelligence agency. --Adoniscik^{(t, c)} 07:04, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If that is the case, then it makes perfect sense to move it. ninety:one 21:20, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The official English language website of the Emniyet Genel Müdürlüğü is turkishnationalpolice.gov.tr. This is their official English name. This trumps any and all debates over the "correct" translation of the Turkish name88.244.83.209 (talk) 07:45, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Turkish National Police and General Directorate of Security[edit]

The Turkish National Police (Turkish: Türk Polis Teşkilatı) is not the same thing as the General Directorate of Security (Turkish: Emniyet Genel Müdürlüğü), just as the General Staff of the Republic of Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Genelkurmay Başkanlığı) is not the same thing as the Turkish Armed Forces (Turkish: Türk Silahlı Kuvvetleri). In both cases, the former smaller organizations preside over the latter larger organizations. --Mttll (talk) 18:18, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merhaba Sayın Polis size dolandırıcılık teklifinde bulunan kadın kimdir, bilgilerle teyit edin, araştırın, suçluları yok edin. 178.134.56.33 (talk) 14:32, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 9 October 2021[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Not moved, but General Directorate of Security turned to a dab page with General Directorate for Security redirecting to it. No such user (talk) 13:07, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

General Directorate of Security (Turkey) → General Directorate of Security – I think we should remove the name Turkey in brackets because there is not any other organization with the same name. Katakana546 (talk) 17:08, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If there aren't any others that are notable it should be moved, if not the base name should become a DAB. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:27, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. There's also the General Directorate for Security, which is far too close. Especially given neither are originally in English and the Portuguese one at least could certainly be (and, indeed, is) translated either way. In fact, it should probably be moved to General Directorate for Security (Portugal) or General Directorate of Security (Portugal), and General Directorate of Security turned into a disambiguation page. There was also a Spanish agency of the same name under Franco. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:33, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Necrothesp. Support creating dab at General Directorate for Security or General Directorate of Security. Vpab15 (talk) 10:11, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
