This is an 8th-century person from Central Asia. A discussion formerly took place about a fictional rendition of the person; during which time the article was reworked into what it is now, and the discussion became extremely messy. This is a procedural nomination to get a discussion about the actual person. Geschichte (talk) 10:22, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Well, per my GT-reading of the Turkish refs in the Biography section, they say "She is the mother of the Turkish Khan of the Göktürk State, Bilge Khan." and not much more (about her). Also, they don't seem to be very
    WP:RS on the topic of history. I don't know what the zh.wikisource.org ref adds. So I'm still at delete. The character has a place at Diriliş:_Ertuğrul#Cast_and_characters.

Styyx, "You need access" (your gdoc). And I think for an article about history we should be able to find something like a historybook. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 13:13, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply

Bilgä Qaǧan is a possibility. I assume that "Orhun Writings" is the same as Orkhon inscriptions. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 13:59, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply

comment: aside from the name, is there any connection between the "8th-century person from Central Asia, mother of Bilgä Qaǧan" and the character in the TV series? This seems very far-fetched, and the character seems hardly "a fictional rendition of the person"--Phso2 (talk) 01:00, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
WP:FILMHIST. Of course, the refs could be wrong. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 13:13, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply

Phso2, there is at least one writer and one director from the show on record in 2018 (shortly before the 5th/final season began) mentioning they based this particular character on the specific historical figure (particularly the historical figure's noble personal qualities that made her renowned alongside her husband). I will try to find those, but it's unlikely, as they were IG live and short interview pre-season-premiere fluff snippets. I will search YT when I get a chance, later.

So what appears from these sources is that the TV character is rather loosely based on, or inspired by, the actual person (at least some people in the prodution say so...); the section about the fictional character should be moved to the article about the series, or an article dedicated to its characters.--Phso2 (talk) 18:40, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
