Ionian (diatonic), Lydian (sharp 4th) and Mixolydian (flat 7th) are all major scales as well as the pentatonic major variations, the Arabian scale, Hungarian Major, Japanese scale, Hindustan scale, Chinese Mongolian, Theta, the whole tone scale and many other international scales.
There's a few more than 15.
I am only talking about the major scales with the W-W-H-W-W-W-H pattern. All those other scales like dorian and lydian are just modes of the original and true major scale. They start and end on a different notes, but they use the same notes of the major scale. Once you change or alter a note in the major scale, it is no longer a major scale.
