Unnecessary DAB that burdens readers more than anything else. A Google search of "Turkey in Asia" mostly yields results pertaining to the geography of Turkey, and it seems most likely that anyone searching this expects to end up there or at Anatolian Peninsula (to which "Asian Turkey" redirects).

- delete I have to doubt that anyone ever thought of Arabia as part of Turkey, and so I think this is just confusing if not deliberately misleading. Mangoe ( talk) 02:09, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect to Anatolia: I don't get the point of this, it doesn't disambiguate anything. Reywas92 Talk 02:19, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

- Surely a redirect to Anatolia would be appropriate for the average English reader? Similarly to how Turkey in Europe redirects to the most common meaning there. -- Joy ( talk) 10:17, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect to Anatolia as a plausible search term. This is similar to Russia in Europe and Russia in Asia. – Vipz ( talk) 21:47, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect as suggested. Turkey refers to the modern country. That it once referred to a wider area, the whole Ottoman Empire does not fit here, but perhaps an otheruses hatnote pointing to that might be appropriate. Peterkingiron ( talk) 15:14, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
