Propose merging Anatolian Seljuks family tree with Sultanate of Rum (or Seljuk dynasty)

The Anatolian Seljuks family tree article seems to run afoul of WP:NOTGENEALOGY. But more to the point, if we have a properly-sourced family tree for this, why are we not simply including it at the relevant main article, Sultanate of Rum, or Seljuk dynasty if not? Why have a separate article for just one chart? The chart itself would also benefit from having the context of the main article. R Prazeres (talk) 20:08, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing no further comment, I'm going to close this proposal as merge, per WP:MERGECLOSE, and make the transfer. Note that I'm not strictly sure if the family tree is supported by sources: there are two citations in the article, but they're attached to the short general summary before the tree (see this pre-merge version). I'll copy the tree as is, without the citations, but editors here are free to check, revise, or raise verifiability concerns. R Prazeres (talk) 21:11, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What's the quote. I can't find. Also it is true that Suleiman Shah was a vassal of the Great Seljuks, but source for the rest? Beshogur (talk) 19:12, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
