Abdi İpekçi Peace Monument

I'm somewhat of two minds about this. First of all, it was created by the sock of a very prolific and very disruptive POV editor, and thus there is really no reason to not delete it stante pede per G5; on the other hand, I am loath to just delete articles. However, I do not see much evidence of this subject being notable per GNG, esp. since the best source was written before the monument was built and only spends four short sentences on it. And note that more sock expansion adds nothing that proves notability. Drmies (talk) 18:28, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete per WP:G5 and WP:DENY - any marginal notability is subordinate to the need to deny recognition. I acknowledge the additions by User:CeeGee but most of the editing has been carried out by four blocked socks namely User:TheWaves, User:TheWindInTheTrees, User:PrayForPuertoRico and User:Quinton Feldberg.

 * Delete Two of the four citations are from Milliyet, which is the paper of the slain editor and therefore not independent. The remaining two citations aren't enough to convince me of GNG. I think making a case for DENY, even if we assume the subject is notable, is reasonable. Let some other editor start over from scratch. I don't want to reward ne'er-do-wells nor do I want to weaken our resolve to use G5 to remove these articles on sight. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 09:10, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
