New International Encyclopedia, the meaning of the term Ghazi is "the victorious." His name and honorary title were Osman Nuri Pasha.

It simply means "veteran", someone who took part in a war, regardless of whether the war effort was victorious or not. -- Cretanforever 05:12, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
Birth place is not Amasya, it was Tokat. Ugur Olgun 12:48, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
It would seem that the correct name is Osman Nuri Pasha or even more correct Osman Nuri Paşa and not Gazi Osman Pasha, although he was celebrated under that later title after the battle of Plevna when he was returned from Russia.
I will proceed with working on the merger. There are disagreements about his birth year 1832 vs. 1837. 1832 seems to be correct, but I would like to check more sources. His birth place is listed as either Amasya or Tokat. Tokat seems to be correct. His death day is listed as either 5 April or 12 April (Enc.Brit.). 5 April seems to be correct. His death year is either 1897 or 1900. I haven't enough information yet to render an opinion on that. Please help with sources on these if you have access to any authoritative ones. Thanks.
