Opening heading[edit]

Please restore the article Iraqi Kurdistan, as the current REDIRECT to Kurdistan is not accurate, since the former only refers to the Kurdish areas of northern Iraq. Also the REDIRECT in the Kurdistan (disambiguation) is also wrong. It should be Kurdistan Region of Iraq or Iraqi Kurdistan. Also the name for the existing article Kurdish Autonomous Region isnot accurate since this name was only used during the former Ba'ath regime in the 70's and 80's. Such a term is not used in Iraq anymore. Here is the reference to the name of the region in the new constitution of Iraq:

CHAPTER ONE: REGIONS

Article 113:

First: This Constitution shall approbate the region of Kurdistan and its existing regional and federal authorities, at the time this constitution comes into force.

Article 137:

Legislation enacted in the region of Kurdistan since 1992 shall remain in force, and decisions issued by the government of the region of Kurdistan - including court decisions and agreements - shall be considered valid unless it is amended or annulled pursuant to the laws of the region of Kurdistan by the competent entity in the region, provided that they do not contradict with the constitution.

Requested move[edit]

Diyâr-ı Bekr Vilayet → Diyarbekir Vilayet – Diyarbekir seems to be the most common form judging from the results above.--eh bien mon prince (talk) 19:29, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support: I prefer Vilayet of Diyarbekir (In early republican era, Diyarbakır Province was called Diyarbekir Vilayeti ). But Diyarbekir Vilayet is also acceptable. Takabeg (talk) 01:02, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So do I, but I figured that moving the page to "vilayet of x" while there's still a discussion on the matter would have been controversial.--eh bien mon prince (talk) 22:38, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
