#Prof. Martin van Bruinessen
##[https:https://www.how.com.vn/wiki/index.php?lang=en&q=Wikipedia%3ANeutral_point_of_view%2FNoticeboard&type=revision&diff=988075222&oldid=988074157] GPinkerton adds a 1978 source (among many) explaining the meaning of "Syrian Kurdistan" to a discussion in which this editor is claiming there are no sources that use this term, or none before the 1980s. ([[Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view/Noticeboard#PhD_candidate_as_a_reliable_source_for_a_denial_of_Syrian_Kurdistan_against_the_views_of_multiple_professors_stating_otherwise?|In this discussion at NPOVN.]])

(On the Syrian Kurdistan talkpage.)
##[https:https://www.how.com.vn/wiki/index.php?lang=en&q=Talk:Syrian_Kurdistan&diff=next&oldid=990559943] [[User:عمرو بن كلثوم]] is taken aback at GPinkerton's refutation of his claim that the phrase "Syrian Kurdistan" does not appear in the book (it does and is explained), and suddenly changes his mind on "Martin Dr Martin" the erstwhile worthy academic in respectable Paris, whose PhD-thesis-turned book was published by the University of Utrecht Press, but who in Act 2 now appears a radically changed character, a mean {{tq|scholar}} [he's actually a professor] whose book is now merely {{tq|personal opinion}} and tainted by association with the {{tq|'''Center for Kurdish Studies''' (sounds very neutral)}} [emphasis original] which, in the space of less than twenty-four hours, has now become unspeakably biased and unusable for reasons that remain unexplained. The statement concerning Kurdistan divided between four modern states in the professor's book is now neutralized as now {{tq|NOT an established fact}}. (The question of the reliability of arguments drawn ''ex silentio'' from the book's ''preface'' is not addressed ...)
