My dear friend @Þjarkur: and I added new reference. He does pass WP:GNG. That’s why my opinion is keep. Baran Ahmet 12:00, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

it does not meet requirements for WP:GNG. Just to note that this article was speedy deleted @Turkish Wiki. --Kemalcan (talk) 14:17, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There do appear to be quite a few reliable sources that describe him as an internet phenomenon, including some TV segments [1][2][3][4] with a million views, so WP:GNG does appear to be met. I could see a point being made that this coverage doesn't indicate lasting notability or encyclopedicness, or that the coverage is too "soft" / human-interest-story like to indicate notability. – Thjarkur (talk) 23:41, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The first 5 sources are literally interviews. 6th one is a source that criticises him because he released a song to try to become famous. The text ends with "Nice Greek song…". Currently he is on the news for all the bad reasons: he swore to one of his fans which resulted in his account being taken down. 7th and 8th sources are about that. His account is now back, but there aren't any sources on that. 9th source is talking about how his story is inspirational and stuff. For the 10th source, I think we all can read English and WP:GNG, which says "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail. Popularity doesn't equal to notability. Every person who shows up on Turkish TV, no matter the views, is not notable. Apart from this, I would also like to echo what was said in the Turkish AfD: we are sort of "done" with having to have multiple discussions about these non-notable "phenomenons". ~Styyx ^{Talk? ^-^} 11:21, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I should disagree with the creator's argument. As Styyx said, some sources are mere interviews, and even though the publishers alone may be notable, the nature of the content makes them primary references rather than secondary independent sources. Additionally, he has been in the news due to some controversies related to his manner and conduct. This may bring his name up but the fuss will eventually die out; another indication that he's not notable. Keivan.f^Talk 19:59, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
