Discussions on this page often lead to previous arguments being restated, especially about the article's title. Please read recent comments, look in the archives, and review the FAQ before commenting on that topic.
Q: Why don't you rename this article Türkiye or Turkiye, the correct name for this country?
A: Because the English language Wikipedia has a WP:COMMONNAME policy. We use names for countries and places that are the names commonly used for them in English, regardless of what official organizations use. Technically, this kind of name is known as an exonym. For example, we use the name Germany, instead of the native endonymDeutschland.
If or when that general English language usage changes (as has happened in the past with place names such as Mumbai and Beijing), the same WP:COMMONNAME policy implies that the English language Wikipedia will necessarily also follow suit. So far, that hasn't happened.
This has been discussed many times, with the same result every time because of the common name policy. Latest discussion.
Q: Why is officially the Republic of Türkiye used in the first sentence?
A: Because this will make it clear "Türkiye" is official while still using the common colloquial for the article title. This will give readers a quick spelling reference for research purposes. Latest discussion.
Q: If this is the country then where's the article for Turkey food? for Turkey bird? Or other "Turkey"-related things?
This article is written in American English, which has its own spelling conventions (color, defense, traveled) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.
