Title[edit]

Münejjim Bashi (or tr:Müneccim Başı) is a title rather than a name. Since the article deals with a certain person named Ahmed Dede bin Lutfallah, Ahmet Dede seems to be a better title. I'll call the creator. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 10:00, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Nedim! Yes, I thought about that, but the simple fact is he is by far the most well known holder of the post, and all works that reference him call him by his title rather than by his name (cf. the references I added, which will be used to expand the article). I can't think of an analogous case right now, but IMO this is a clear case of primary topic and most common usage. Constantine ✍ 10:23, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it appears I was hasty, and that the subject already has an article: Müneccimbaşı Ahmed Dede. I moved my info there, and will work on it further. I would suggest moving the old article here, though, as this is by far the common name in Western sources. Constantine ✍ 16:29, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
