Kaan Korad

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A biography on a musician that does not appear to pass the WP:GNG or WP:NBIO. The only source currently being used does not appear to be from a reliable sources. I did a WP:BEFORE search on both the individual and the music group he was previously part of, and outside of mirrors and social media pages, was only able to find passing mentions of both. It was already WP:PRODed once in the past, so I am bringing it AFD. Rorshacma (talk) 17:41, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Neutral I actually found a bit more than I initially expected. I found this interview of him and Kürşad Terci by Milliyet, that he has won an award at the 2017 Donizetti Klasik Müzik Ödülleri, a source about the trio disbanding and him continuing alone, this source of him resigning from his position as "Bilkent University Theater Department Dean" and a bunch of namedrops mostly in the context of organizing things and the music group:, , , , , , . Sanattan Yansımalar (website where 2 of the sources I mentioned are on) has a quite limited scope, which might mean it can't be used to establish notability, so I don't think he individually meets WP:GNG. With that said however, there is a lot of coverage about the Terci-Korad duo/Bilkent trio above, also this, this, this and these two sources about Terci alone. The third member committed suicide last year and sources about his death mention the group as well. So while stand-alone articles don't look likely, I wouldn't object creating Bilkent Guitar Trio and redirecting this there. ~Styyx Talk? ^-^ 11:41, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
 * The various name-drop articles are pretty much what I was found, but I admit I did not find the ones that write his name as "Kağan" rather than "Kaan". As you said, even with those sources there might not be enough to establish notability for an individual article so I'll leave this AFD up to hear from others, but that's a great start.
