Claim to fame is translator; I'm not convinced that there is WP:SIGCOV here for notability. There is this article in the Daily Sabah; no authorship given, which makes it difficult to ascertain if it's a "contributor" piece, and the rest of the references appear to be derived from that article or are primary references (i.e., listing the individual's credits). I came across this looking at the edits of an editor who'd resurrected several articles created by banned socks. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 17:18, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Hello , This writer and translator is well known in Turkey and the Arab world This discussion took place between me and a Turkish editor and admins of this wiki User:LadyofShalott User:BD2412 All sources were reliable I do not charge any money I love working on Wikipedia without any fees,If this article was promotional, as you say, it would not be accepted by 2 admin on this wiki

On the contrary, it was edited and modified, and it became an article Mevlut Bin Omar (talk) 18:02, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I feel that this is likely a notable subject if the claims are valid on their face, but that the article would benefit from review by an experienced editor who reads Arabic. User:Irtapil is recently active, perhaps they can have a look? BD2412 T 18:18, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: To be clear, I have not "accepted" this article. I refunded it to draft as was requested on my talk page, and made some cosmetic edits to the draft. BD2412 T 21:15, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you are going to participate in these conversations, you need to learn to indent your posts properly. Otherwise, experienced editors are unlikely to take you very seriously. BD2412 T 18:49, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You User:BD2412

Delete. On the basis of the claims in the article itself I’d say notability was borderline, and I was surprised to see so many sources. The thing is, a lot of them are just PR. Many of the Turkish refs are verbatim identical and this person clearly has people working on his profile for him. I’ll admit that once I saw this I lost interest in ploughing on through the rest of them. Mccapra (talk) 20:42, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment this page popped up from a spam check I run for a particular source. [1] The particular site has been used by the person trying to push this article. See the contributions for Alex_bonson90 who's been globally locked. All of their edits are to push this person. I smell block evasion. Ravensfire (talk) 21:20, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Yes, I think you're right about the sockpuppetry; compare this and this. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 21:33, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
