The result was delete. Consensus seems to be that the provided sources, even the Turkish-language ones, primarily consist of passing mentions. Speedy keep rationale isn't a rationale for a speedy keep. The attempt to evade WP:SALT is noted. ST47 (talk) 05:42, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

Emir Uyar (businessman)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article is a recreation of Emir Uyar, which was salted as a result of this 2017 AfD. I am starting another AfD rather than requesting G4 deletion because there appear to be sources in the current article that weren't discussed in the previous AfD.

Most of the sources are focused on Uyar's company, the Permak Group, and only contain passing mentions of Uyar. Others, like this, are interviews with Uyar that contain no original reporting or significant coverage whatsoever. There may be more sources in Turkish media that I am unaware of, however, and I would like to get input from other editors. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 17:13, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment, it is because you were searching in English. In the Turkish press, the mentions are not passing. AlAkhtar32 (talk)
 * Delete Still a non-notable businessman and a very clear attempt to work around the AfC process and SALTing. Best, GPL93 (talk) 18:18, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
 * 'Comment. Without addressing this particular page, I am extremely concerned about the sudden rash of promotional articles about Turkish business men on English Wikipedia, written in the same style by SPAs. I'll leave it at that. Bearian (talk) 20:48, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment, completely notable in Turkey. I wanted to write about someone in the media and will write about more Turkish people in the future. I have no connection to him and just noticed something missing in Wikipedia that would be informative for people who need to learn more about Turkey and its influential people.

 * Speedy keep, greetings and peace be to you my brothers. I am a Turkish editor who is passionate about writing and editing pages for many different Turkish people and topics, without the bias and censorship that is besieging our country. Emir Uyar is a famous high-profile personality in the Turkish media who has attracted a lot of attention for his relationship with Adriana Lima, his work on sustainable green energy in Turkey, and his deep, strong connections in Germany, Italy, and all over Europe. He is mentioned on CNN in Turkish, and these mentions are not passing or trivial, CNN Turkish 1 CNN Turkish 2 Hurriyet Daily Mail. Search for him and Turkish and you can see that there is zero doubt that he is a notable, influential man.


 * You see, there are many similar notable Turkish businesspeople who have Wikipedia pages and do not face such problems - Alinur Velidedeoglu, Saygin Yalcin, Baran Süzer, Esref Hamamcioglu, Murat Ozaydinli, Erol Ozensoy, Mehmet Emin Toprak (businessman), and many more. Some of these businesspeople are even less notable than Emir Uyar, but you do not target them because of the simple fact that they were not deleted before. We need a stronger and fairer process than this.


 * During the days when Emir Uyar was not as notable, someone else had tried to write a promotional page about him which did not meet Wikipedia standards. I am a frequent follower of Turkish media and news, and see that now he has gained a lot more notability in many different ways, he should deserve his own Wikipedia page. I am completely sure that he is a notable person for the Turkish audience.


 * You might ask, why someone not in the company would want to write something about him? It is because I am a Turkish student and activist who likes to write biographies about the many people I see in the media who do not yet have Wikipedia pages, or had been deleted before because some other editor had been overly promotional in the past. I believe in my country Turkey and I want to put it and its people in the spotlight. I believe in the democratic processes of Wikipedia and the free knowledge it offers for all of us.


 * Wikipedia is blocked in my country, so I request you to not censor this page the way our government censors our people. I believe in the Wikimedia project and I firmly believe you can make the wise decision to keep Wikipedia an openly democratic encyclopedia for my country and for my people. I want to write more pages on Turkish people who have contributed to our country in many positive ways without the fear of censorship or reprisal. I give thanks to you for your efforts in contributing to this great project called Wikipedia. Peace and blessings my brothers. I kindly hope you will not hastily delete without careful consideration.
