This is Kurdish propaganda! --Kmoksy (talk) 14:41, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

There is no historical source that the dynasty of the Germiyan principality was Kurdish.
there is no conclusive evidence in the pages cited as the source, based only on personal inference and guesswork
It is thought that the name Germiyan comes from the name Kirman, Another claim is that the dynasty name is thought to come from the Persian "girma" meaning hot, in other words, the dynasty was probably calling itself "Ilıcalar". (Hot Springs) 
A significant Kurdish-speaking population within the principality is never mentioned, on the contrary, there is only one village in Uşak, called "Kurd".
How is it that this principality is claimed to be a Turkish-Kurdish confederation, despite the fact that the principality does not have a second language, Kurdish, and the Kurdish population fills only one village?
What is the source of the Yezidi population? If there are so many, why are there no Yazidi temples in the regions or not mentioned in historical records?
Even though the dynasty is from the Oghuz-Turkmen Avşar tribe, how is it claimed to be Turkish-Kurdish?
The page needs to be rearranged. Burtigin (talk) 18:00, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

"Origin of Germiyanid, Mateos from Urfa, Malatya

According to his statement that a region was named “Germiyan”
It is said that it dates back to Malatya and thus to the Danishmenids.
has been removed.  The period when Mateos lived, the gates of Anatolia
Coinciding with the period when it first opened to Turks, Danishmen
increases the importance of its connections with central Malatya.
It is believed that the Germiyans were from the Afshar tribe of the Oghuzes.
In the face of such views, Z. V. Togan, in Kütahya, "aşiret-i Harezm" 
Kangli-Kipchak the service of the people of Horezm due to his record "harezm"
He claimed that they might be from the chak group."

that is, there is no solid source that the Germiyan dynasty was a Kurdo-Turkic half-breed On the contrary, most sources of the period state that the Germiyan dynasty was Kipchak-Kangli Turkic tribes who had to come to Anatolia from Khwarezm due to the Mongol invasion and attacks.
Also, there is no source that indicates that the Germiyan principality and dynasty spoke Kurdish or were described as Kurdish, anyway, the language they spoke was old Anatolian Turkish.
In the light of this information, I demand that the information that the dynasty and the principality are Turkish-Kurdish (moreover, no historical information was consulted in the cited sources, personal inferences and predictions were put forward), it does not have definite and solid evidence and should be regulated. Burtigin (talk) 20:22, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
Also, where is a source that does not contain any guesses that the Germiyan dynasty is an Oghuz-Turkmen tribe called Avşar/Afşar, while the other, as I wrote, is a Kangli-Kipchak from Harezm
Where is a source that doesn't speculate that dynasties origin is a Kurdish-Turkish hybrid?

According to Cemal Kafadar, A Rome of One's Own: Reflections on Cultural Geography and Identity in the Lands of Rum, "Muqarnas", volume 24, Brill, 2007, page 22;
"Ibn Battuta's reference to Yezid as the ancestor of the Sons of Germiyan..[..]..has thus led some modern scholars to deem the Germiyanids as Kurds and a occasioned rebuttal by a Turkish historian: see Mustafa Cetin Varlik.[..]...The actual circumstance may indeed have been so complex as not to allow for a designation of some of those tribal confederations with a straightforward ethnic marker comfortably recognized by modern readers."
With that being said, I think we should move any and all mention of ethnicity to the body of the article(Origin section) and leave ethnicity out of the lead. From there we can add whatever ethnicity is mentioned with its cooresponding reference. --Kansas Bear (talk) 20:47, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
Besides, when he says Yazid, the person Ibn-i Batuta is talking about is the 1st Yazid, the Umayyad caliph.

Where did the allegations that there are Yazidi Kurds come from? Burtigin (talk) 04:12, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

The Cambridge source used to reference Turko-Kurd dynasty is a simple definition and nothing else. Hardly something that should be pushed into the lead of the article. But with the quote I have posted, it is clear that we should leave the Germiyanids ethnicity out of the lead of the article and simply place any ethnic concerns in the Origin section. --Kansas Bear (talk) 16:34, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
The source about the so-called "Kurdish" origin, which Cambridge University refers to as a reference, is based on Ibn Batuta's travel book.
I quote it exactly from Ibn Battuta
"The ruler of Kulhisar is Muhammed Çelebi.  Çelebi means "sayyidi" = sir in Anatolian language.  This man is the brother of Abu Ishaq, the ruler of Ekridur.  He wasn't there when we landed in the city.  We stayed for a few days, and he came back during this time, he gave us a lot of treats.  The road saw our need, gave us mounts.

We left there via Karaağaç.  In the Black Turkic language, “esved” means black;  tree means “haşeb” = wood.  This is a green area.  It is one of the areas where Turkmen settled.  Since the Cermiyan = Germiyan tribes were cutting the way in this plain, the sultan added warriors to our side to ensure that we could reach Ladik safely.  Cermiyanoğulları, Yazid b.  Rumors that they are descended from Muawiya are widespread!  Kütahya belongs to them.  May Allah protect us from their evil."

So, as you can see from the excerpt, the person Batuta is talking about is not the Yazidi Kurds.
on the contrary, he refers to the Muslim Umayyad caliph Yazid bin Muawiya.
But Ibn Battuta himself wrote that this was also a "rumor" in the environment.

Ibn-i Bibi, who wrote the work "Selçukname" in this source, used the name "Etrak-ı Germiyan" or "Tirkan-ı Germiyan" for the Germiyan clan.
I guess there is no need to explain that Etrak means Turk in Arabic.
Likewise, "Tirkan" in Persian of the period means Turkmen.
that is, the Seljukname does not refer to this Germiyan tribal confederation or clan as Kurdish
Here, I want you to indicate that the source of Cambridge is not certain and it is a weak possibility on the page, and add what is written in the Seljukname work I mentioned, and add the fact that the person Ibn-i Batuta is talking about is Yazid, the Umayyad caliph.

Well, we can not take what one source states then add what another source states to create a conclusion, that is synthesis. I say we take "Turko-Kurdish" and the Cambridge source and place both in the Origin section, as far as I can find it is the only source for "Turko-Kurdish". Do you agree? --Kansas Bear (talk) 21:44, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
yes it seems appropriate
As you said, an origin section should be opened. Batuta's records that they came from Yazid bin Muawiya, They are of Oghuz-Turkmen Afshar origin, I would also like to add the claims that Velidi Togan and the intelligent Velidi Togan are from the Kangly-Kipchak Turks from Khorezm.
what I'm talking about is not synthesis, different conclusions reached by many different researchers.
as a result, writing only one and not writing the others prevents access to the correct information.
Also, I think it would be better if you delete the "Turkish-Kurdish" dynasty part in the title and write "feudal dynasty" and add this information along with the sources I gave to the origin section.
Can I still contact you when I find other research and articles? Burtigin (talk) 06:03, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
