American Chamber of Commerce in Turkey

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

promotional article with no evidence of notability, though there are sure to be trivial notices of its activity to be found. As for promotionalism, "lists several exclusive events throughout the year for its members, all planned to help its members’ businesses develop. The events provide extensive networking opportunities, allowing members and guests to listen to the views of prominent investment and business figures and facilitate the building of sector specific platforms." This was an AfC, but the ed. just moved it to mainspace themselves, thus defeating the purpose.

And any article containing a link like this "Click to see the AmCham Turkey/ABFT's Board of Directors." is obviously closely adapted from a website which links to subpages in that fashion. Apart from an improper format of a link to an outside source, "Click to see" is not WP style.  DGG ( talk ) 00:22, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Neutral - I'm having a difficult time deciding here. On the one hand, I actually do think that there is some credible assertion of notability ("AmCham Turkey/ABFT represents 125 or more U.S. member firms with investments over $50 billion having created more than 60.000 jobs in Turkey"), but to the extent where it is viable for inclusion? That I'm not sure of. If AmCham Turkey is to be kept, then it needs a major overhaul with plenty of reliable third-party sources to establish its significance, as well as a near-complete rewrite so that it reads less like a brochure and more like an article.
