how about some more information?[edit]

when i entered this article, i hoped to find some data on the ethnic composition of Algeria, yet i still have no idea how high percentage Arabs/Berbers/whoever account for in that country. think it would be beneficial to add some statistics --Jaro7788 (talk) 12:21, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

February 2018[edit]

This has been removed because:

The first Turkish source (which isn't reliable to start with) says: Etnik Özellikler: Cezayir nüfusunun çogunlugunu (% 78) Arap etnik kökeninden gelenlerin teskil ettikleri varsayilmaktadir... Cezayir nüfusunun %22’sini teskil eden Berberiler Kabil, Savi, Mozabit ve Tuareg gibi ait gruplardan olusmaktadir, which basically translates to: Ethnicity: It is assumed that the majority of the Algerian population (78%) consists of people of Arab ethnicity... The Berbers, which make up 22% of Algeria's population, are composed of groups such as Kabyles, Shawis, Mozabits and Tuaregs.
The second Turkish source is ancient. What someone claimed in 1953 (when 10% of the population was European) is neither here nor there. Furthermore, WP:RS contradicting it (describing Algeria's ethnic makeup as "99% Arab-Berber; less than 1 % European") can be cited ad nauseam.
The part that starts with Today's Turkish descendants are often called Kouloughlis is pure nonsense that has been falsely attributed to a couple of cherry picked sentences about the Ottoman era.
1) The Oxford business group is not a reliable source. 2) Even if you consider it reliable, its latest editions (2011,^[1] 2015^[2]) and its website^[3] clearly state that 99% of the population is considered to be of Arab or Berber descent, with the European minority comprising the remaining 1% of inhabitants.
The Sahrawi refugees are not Algerians, they live separately in their refugee camps.

Removed cleanup tags[edit]

These ref tags were placed as a drive-by seven years ago. As far as I can tell, the lead is adequate, and the article well-referenced. It could definitely use expanding, but does not appear to need cleanup. I'm removing them. -Kieran (talk) 03:44, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
