The result was delete. Clear consensus that this fails WP:GNG and possibly fails WP:V. If somebody wants to work on this, I can userfy it for you, but based on the discussion here, I'm not optimistic about it getting back into mainspace. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:32, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Quite simply: I don't think this is real (and so, a fortiori, fails WP:GNG). I would call it a hoax but there is a single source to what appears to be an RS, but it's in Turkish and only in "snippet" view so I don't know what it says. I tried searching both "davara" and "tavara" with no luck. This initially looked promising but I'm pretty sure it's unrelated and was picked up by Wikipedia-scraping software or an unscrupulous archivist. I would have prodded this if not for the one source. Oh, and the author apparently has a COI with Özhan Öztürk, the author of the lone source in the article. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 06:11, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
