This article on a judge only has two sources, which contain his name in promotions lists. A BEFORE search turns-up no English-language sources; identifying Turkish language sources is more problematic as this is a common name. Suggest delete per BLP.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. No evidence of notability. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:48, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Clearly a senior enough judge for an article. However many judges it has, it is the highest court of appeal in the land. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:47, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Submit as AfD on Turkish Wikipedia instead -- Otherwise I am on the fence: Good arguments for and against keeping.  It does appear he was on the high court, but I agree the sourcing looks pretty weak, and trying to look up the Turkish sources is a lot of work.  I looked at the Turkish Wikipedia Entry and it is about the same.  I wonder if it would be better to try and submit the AfD on the Turkish site so those who can read the sources in Turkish and know more about law in Turkey can make a decision?  I think that is the way to go.  --David Tornheim (talk) 23:29, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Given that you created this article, could you please find some more reliable sources (RS) and list it in the order of importance? I agree with others that the current WP:RS is weak, but if the subject was on the highest court, I would think there should be more coverage and probably state websites that show his participation. --David Tornheim (talk) 23:38, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
