Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Coşkun Yılmaz

The result was This article was relisted three times and we need to make a decision. Nobody succeeded to find reliable sources about the person, and thus the article has to be deleted. On the other hand, there were hints that such sources can exist, but most likely in Turkish. I conclude thus that there will be no prejudice against re-creating the article provided reliable sources in Turkish have been added which describe the activity of Coşkun Yılmaz, not just mention him.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:17, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

The subject does not seem to satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines. This article is entirely due to two single-purpose accounts, which have done nothing but write about Coşkun Yılmaz and his company. The article was speedily deleted under criterion A7, and re-created. Of the four references, two don't mention Coşkun Yılmaz, and one merely includes his name in a list. The other one is on the web site of something describing itself as "Young Businessmen Association of Turkey", and does not seem to be an independent source. In any case, that one page does not constitute sufficient coverage to establish notability. JamesBWatson (talk) 20:49, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - doesn't meet WP:GNG and sources are definately lacking. Cabe  6403  (Talk•Sign) 14:26, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. The current article is pretty worthless, but the subject apparently gets a large number of GNews hits from a wide variety of Turkish newspapers, including Hürriyet, Zaman and Milliyet. First guess is that a few of those hits will turn out to be significant coverage - though as I don't read Turkish, I could instead be getting bamboozled by passing mentions, press releases or references to other people of the same name.

 * Keep - If you start a company which employs 8,000 people and get interviewed in business magazines you are notable. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:24, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Those newspaper stories - As far as I can see some are about a footballer with the same name, others by a business journalist - but it may be the businessman himself writing op eds, and then various stories about his company which mention him as owner. And then the various branches of the Kayı Construction group are like an octopus. I really think if this was an American businessman with a business this size and fingers in so many pies he'd be notable. If we add/translate all these newspaper articles it'd be a keep.
