 * Keep – although the article hadn't said so, it does indeed appear that he was a member of both houses of Turkey's national legislature; he thus passes WP:NPOL. I've added this to the article. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 03:32, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep definitely passes WP:NPOL. Mccapra (talk) 05:18, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment. Currently the sources in the article seem pretty weak towards establishing WP:SIGCOV. One of the sources has a url that leads nowhere, and the other is a minor entry within a government website. Now that a claim of notability has been made, the article still has to meet the sourcing requirement at GNG and at NPOL.4meter4 (talk) 06:22, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Under NPOL, national-level legislators are generally considered automatically notable, regardless of whether they meet the GNG. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 03:10, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Then why preface NPOL with WP:BASIC? I think you are stretching WP:NPOL beyond the broader policy frame at Notability (people). While it appears NPOL may be met, the article still has to meet WP:BASIC which requires in depth coverage. The one source (as the other is a dead link) we have is not in depth. Notability (people) gives clear guidance for when articles are "Failing basic criteria (WP:BASIC) but meeting additional criteria (ie. WP:NPOL)". Those guidelines are to merge this article into another article, not keep it. At this point that seems to be where we are currently at based on the one source we currently have.4meter4 (talk) 03:59, 13 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep Passes NPOL; significant Demokrat Parti member who served in both houses of Turkey's national parliament, sentenced to be executed following the 1960 coup and subsequently commuted to life in prison. This is information readily at hand in under 10 minutes of searching; AfD is not clean up. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 12:17, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Please post those sources here for all to see. Thank you.4meter4 (talk) 14:03, 13 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep Passes WP:NPOL - while the article was in a truly sad state at the time of the nomination, the subject is notable enough for an article. SportingFlyer  T · C  16:22, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
