Sourcing and tone leave a lot to be desired. A few of the sources seem to be unreliable fringe publications, others are inaccessible. With an alleged death toll of over 100k, I'm finding it hard to pull up any reliable academic sourcing that would even establish the existence of the massacres. Mooonswimmer 15:09, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
The footnote in al-Tabari refers to Gibb. again, you are missing the main point, Al-Tabari himself is not a reliable source and a wikipedia article can’t be established based on his writings per WP:RS. You need a reliable secondary source to establish the topic’s notability and prove it’s existence (check WP:PST).
For a Kemalist textbook treatment, see Başar Ari, "Religion and Nation-building in the Turkish Republic: Comparison of High School History Textbooks of 1931–41 and of 1942–50,"Now regarding kemalist political propagada textbooks, they are not reliable sources neither, they are heavily criticized by A LOT of academic and reliable sources for genocide denial and promoting propaganda and poor to no reputation for facts checking facts or with editorial oversight, there is an entire wikipedia article with tons of sources called Turkish textbook controversies, they are not reliable sources per WP:QUESTIONED. Aside from that, can you send us the quote from that source where the author (himself) says “talqan massacre” or “talqan people were massacred” or mention anything about curcan ?, because I can’t find it.
"Public Execution in the Umayyad Period: Early Islamic Punitive Practice and its Late Antique Context," Journal of Arabic and Islamic Studies 11 (2011): 101–136, at 131 (also available freely online).no mention for a massacre nor for anything about curcan. Chafique ( talk) 18:44, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
