The biography itself had to be deleted as a copyright violation from the subject's web site. All that's left is a list of performances and translations with no reliable independent sources to show notability or to verify the information. &mdash;Anne Delong (talk) 14:43, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Oppose for now. Instead of deleting the biography, which is taken from the actress's website, why not simply rewrite it to avoid the copyright issue, as I have just done? Moreover, a Google search reveals that there are numerous links to independent sources. I don't read Turkish, so I cannot easily judge whether these include sufficient reliable sources or not. It appears that the actress has a substantial body of work over two decades with Turkey's most important national theatre company, so I would say that the article certainly claims notability. Once a serious effort has been made to see if this person is notable or not, we can make a better judgment as to whether to delete or not. My guess is not. -- Ssilvers (talk) 02:26, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

 * I agree with the above statement the the article may be able to improved rather than deleted. Many sources exit, but I am in the same position of being unable to read them so as to assess their quality. If no sources can be found, then I'd support deletion. However, at this time, there seems to be hope that it can be improved, so I oppose. drewmunn talk 15:10, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose The article may be weakly sourced. We can call for more references. But this does not necessitate deleting. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 19:18, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
