Non-notable and unsourced. No English-language hits on Google. Beemer 69  chitchat  21:42, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. I added some references. His latest film has generated some media coverage, and the multiple albums are another argument for notability. --Eastmain (talk) 05:38, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete—While I am sympathetic to the world view, and don't discriminate against foreign-language sources, I can't find any indication of notability to English-language encyclopedia readers. No news hits, no coverage of the compositions he has made, nothing that asserts notability.  Thus, for now, it's delete.  Livitup (talk) 17:00, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Is English-language notability important? If someone or something is notable anywhere in any language, does it not pass WP:N? And doesn't avoiding topics whose sources are in other languages prevent us from learning about these topics, keeping us secure in the knowledge that We Know Everything Worth Knowing when that patently isn't true? --NellieBly (talk) 22:59, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Response I honestly don't know the answer to those questions. We're here because someone doubts the notability of this person.  The only news coverage that I can understand seems to back up the assertion that he isn't very notable.  He participated in a Turkish National Film Festival.  OK, I just looked at Filmfest DC and of the 7 winners this year, the only ones that have WP articles have won Academy Awards, Oscars, or Golden Globes.  With the absence of English language sources to back up notability, we're basically left with people who can read Turkish saying "Trust me he's notable." I honestly don't know where we go from here.
