This map actually has no source

The claimed source of this map is [1] in The Uprooting : the expansionist policy of Turkey and the persecutions of the Greeks by the Turks in the 20th century (from Institute of Historical Studies, Panepistimiou av. n° 34, Athens 1985, 58 p.) with some topographic details since Baldamus, Alfred; Koch, Julius; Schwabe, Ernst: Historisches schulatlas, ed. Putzger, Leipzig 1910, p.28. The ethnolinguistic areas shown not concerning the main towns as Istanbul or Prusa (not Greek in 1910), Diyarbakir was never majority Turkish, as this map shown either and the distrubition of the Lazes is completely wrong — Preceding unsigned comment added by Atabegli (talk • contribs) 17:09, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

In a hand, this map [2] is a combination of several sources which makes, since some contributors, an "original research" : they consider invalid the arguments like "The current map is a combination of sources", because they consider it as a "whataboutism". Thousands other maps contain a combination of sources : since this point of view, they too should be removed from Commons. A lot of other contributors consider as pretty normal to create maps based off multiple sources, for cross-checking/reference. As long as there isn't "WP:SYNTH", it shouldn't be a violation of OR. In the other hand, any ethnic map of Anatolia before the "ethnic cleanings" of 1915-1923 is inevitably contested by the descendants of the different peoples, especially concerning the many multiethnic areas and the main towns. --Claude Zygiel (talk) 15:12, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
