Tricky, hence sitting in CAT:NN for 11 years. He doesn't have an article in Turkish WP, but does in Persian and Arabic. He is a poet with some success but I couldn't find evidence of WP:GNG or WP:WRITER. The article at it stands is also written in a promotional tone and has no references, despite being a biography of a living person, although it has links to his poetry and an external link. I'm aware I may be missing something due to the poor state of the article and not being able to read Turkish. Boleyn (talk) 14:08, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the only present source is a blog that in no way shows notability. This long delay does not show anything is tricky, it just shows Wikipedia has an inbalance between ease of creating articles and difficulty in removing them.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:02, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
