Mustafa I

About Mustafa I

Mustafa I was an Ottoman Sultan who reigned intermittently during the early 17th century. His first term was extremely brief, lasting only three months in 1617, following the deposition of his predecessor, Ahmed I. While his tenure was short and largely marked by political maneuvering and palace intrigue, his position within the direct line of succession to the powerful Ottoman Empire secures his rank as the 839th most historically important figure according to the MIT Pantheon project.

In terms of contemporary digital interest, Mustafa I exhibits an Attention Gap of approximately 1x, suggesting his 221K annualized Wikipedia views in 2025 are broadly in line with his modest historical standing when contrasted with major world figures. However, a comparison with contemporary politicians shows a significant divergence; for instance, David Ben-Gurion, ranked slightly lower in historical importance (#986), garners 965K views, over four times the attention paid to the former Sultan. Similarly, Paul von Hindenburg (#912) receives 1.1M views.

Data suggests Mustafa I's low digital profile is deepening, with a Year-over-Year change of -14.1% in views and a -16% drop in momentum between Q1 and Q3 of 2025, indicating a steady decline in modern online visibility.
