Can you clarify whether you're talking about what area they're indigenous to or where their presence is concentrated? Those are two possibly completely different things, but you're writing about them as though they're the same.Largoplazo (talk)22:27, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sure that's fair, The article states they are indigenous to Kurdistan which is the part i described misleading. They are indigenous to Sinjar as is often described and widely recognized as their homeland.37.236.27.15 (talk)22:53, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sinjar is just one of many enclaves where Yazidis live withBahdinan considered their heartland.[1] All the areas listed here as places where Yazidis live are regarded as part of Kurdistan[2] "In past centuries, the Yezidi tribes had been very powerful, covering large areas of Kurdistan."[3]Semsûrî (talk)06:49, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This has nothing to do with where Yazidis currently live. I believe a good majority still live in Nineveh, e.g., Shekhan. Sinjar isn’t just one of their smaller settlements, and it’s not the only major historic settlement outside the Kurdistan Region. At the very least, the current article should state they are indigenous to Nineveh and parts of the Kurdistan Region. I would avoid calling Yazidi areas parts of Kurdistan, since most Yazidis do not identify as Kurdish and prefer their own distinct identity, and being Kurdish is generally what defines belonging to the Kurdistan Region.37.236.27.15 (talk)12:46, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
