This article was recently moved from draft space to main space, however, none of the sources listed seem to be credible and they are probably not independent either. His songs have also not charted on any national music charts. The article easily fails our notability criteria for musicians. Keivan.f Talk 21:33, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep: There are at least 3, maybe 4 reliable, secondary sources by way of interview given. Article passes WP:NMUSIC --Whiteguru (talk) 23:30, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment Looking at the reference list I only see sources of regional papers and some other small publishers. Some of which aren't seen as reliable even on the Turkish Wikipedia. I will do a separate search to see if I can find something. ~Styyx   Talk? ^-^  08:33, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete I found nothing other than what is already in the article. The Ordu and Manisa sources are nowhere near reliable as they are the exact same article published by the exact same author, just in a different regional news website. This and this is a blatant CTRL+C/CTRL+V from the Ordu/Manisa source., , and  are non-reliable sources no one has ever heard of, and on top of that, all of them only have simple background information of him, no signs of WP:SIGCOV. That leaves us with these English sources: ,  and , 2 of which are interviews and the reliability of them is doubtful. Granted, this might seem like a lot of sources for someone outside of Turkey, but the sites are just crap and likely to be promo. Having some minor sites publish who you are doesn't make you pass WP:BASIC or WP:GNG.  ~Styyx   Talk? ^-^  08:58, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment None of the sources listed in the article are reliable as Styyx mentioned above. One or two of them are regional papers that could easily be paid to publish a few words on a subject and the rest are simply websites with zero credibility. None of them cover the subject in detail either. Aside from that, as a singer he is required to have songs charted in national music charts. Not to mention that he has a very low number of listeners on digital platforms. Keivan.f  Talk 04:04, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
