• Oppose unless there is another reason. When I search for "doppi" on Google, almost none of the results are for this. Searching for "doppa" and "hat" together also yields more results for me on Google and Google Books than "doppi" and "hat" together. In addition—while somewhat tangential since we are concerned with usage in English here—it appears that linguistically the word is simply different in Uyghur (doppi, or doppa=hat?) and Uzbek (doppa for this type of hat specifically?).

• Comment Ngrams doesn't seem to be good evidence either for or against: most English Google Books hits for "doppi" are for Italian doppi , while the hits for "doppa" are also totally unrelated . Google Scholar has about 2x as many hits for doppi hat as opposed to doppa hat, but "doppa hat" results seem to have a far higher proportion of high-quality sources (e.g. The China Journal and Central Asian Survey) 59.149.117.119 (talk) 23:20, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

A doppa

• ... that the designs on a doppa (example pictured) symbolize details about its wearer?

• Sources: Khan, Aina J. (17 November 2021). "An Australian's Search for Belonging Led to the Silk Road and a Famed Hat". New York Times. Retrieved 18 April 2026. Traditionally, the doppa was hand-embroidered with naturally dyed silk, and included intricate patterns that revealed details about the hat wearer.
  Shamukhitdinova, Lola (2017). "Uzbek Skullcaps: A Popular Headwear between Traditional High Quality and Touristic Souvenir". In Mentges, Gabriele; Shamukhitdinova, Lola (eds.). Textiles as National Heritage: Identities, Politics and Material Culture. Waxmann Verlag. p. 155. ISBN 978-3-8309-8609-6. Retrieved 19 April 2026. Skullcaps [doppis/doppas] possess a great variety of meanings. By way of their style, color, size, means, type of decoration and specifically by how the skullcaps were worn, these items refer to sex, marital and social status, ethnic groups, and to the specific region someone comes from. They also make it possible to tell what religious confession the wearers belonged to, how religious they were, their material wealth, culture and sometimes even what they did for a living and their character.

• • Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Khau Vai Love Market
  • Comment: The DYK check tool errneously states that the article has not been expanded within the past ten days because of this AI-generated revision from 13 October 2025 by a LOUT sock of Anzor.akaev. The article has otherwise been a stub of around a hundred words for all of its history, including within the past ten days. I therefore propose that the reviewer make a manual assessment to verify this and accordingly disregard the tool's automated assessment, as it is based on the AI-generated additions from last October.
    If this nomination passes in time, I propose having it run on 5 May, when the Uyghur Doppa Cultural Festival (or Doppa Day) is celebrated. The photo gallery at the bottom of the article also has alternative suitable photographs showing several doppas and the Chust doppa in particular being worn. Finally, the reviewer can access PDFs of some of the sources cited in the article through my Google Drive folder if they are unable to do so themself.

5x expanded by Yue (talk). Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 50 past nominations.

• I'll review this. Thriley (talk) 03:46, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

• Article has been 5x expanded. No issues of copyvio or plagiarism. All sources appear reliable. The hook is interesting and sourced. QPQ is done. Looks all ready to go. Thriley (talk) 19:54, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

The article has indeed been 5x expanded. The AI additions from last year do not affect that. Thriley (talk) 19:57, 22 April 2026 (UTC)
