Namik Haluk Baskinci

The cited sources sources in the article don't even mention the subject. All attempts at finding sources to verify the article have yielded nothing. While there may be foreign language refs verifying the article, I strongly suspect this article may be a WP:Hoax at worst, or at best fails WP:SIGCOV. 4meter4 (talk) 01:29, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete as a hoax, which I should have spotted myself when de orphaning it in 2018. Absolutely nothing out there except Wikipedia mirrors. Mccapra (talk) 09:55, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete while I found one of his books online, still no way that this person is notable in the slightest. The book also doesn't fully eliminate the chance of this being a hoax though, as it's the only thing I've managed to find. ~Styyx Talk? ^-^ 18:47, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
 * The book also seems to reference Wikipedia which isn't good... Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 19:29, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
 * The book is just a printout of Wikipedia. Mccapra (talk) 22:11, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete with the reason of hoax or not being notable I literally found near to none about the person (other than circular references sourced to Wikipedia itself), and I was quite sure that this page is a hoax because it doesn't even sound like a real name + I didn't find anything even while searching on social media sites or searching for the companies which claimed to founded by him (I've found sites about some companies mentioned, but none of them mentions the person, and one of them seems like a hoax too) I think we can add this to WP:HOAXLIST. Note: before posting that comment, I've suddenly realized this page mentions the person as a graduate from high school on 1975 (and this is the only mention outside of circular references), and therefore I'm not fully sure it's a hoax, but I'm sure about it's definitely not notable.

 * I abstain from voting, and YES I would have to agree that this person probably isn't really, if not at all notable. I would just like to point out that he was struck by lightning, which is a notable event, as this rarely happens: being struck by lighting. Also the page should have been named "Murder of Namik Haluk Baskinci", since his murder is the only other thing that he would be known for as that might have had a fair amount of coverage in the country of Turkey.

 * We can't verify that he was actually struck by lightning, which indeed is a very rare thing. Getting murdered is also very rare, and it not being solved is even more rare. How many rare things can happen in someones life? All added up this article seems complete bs to me. ~Styyx Talk? ^-^ 13:20, 28 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete as a hoax. Also, being murdered and being struck by lightning are both not that rare. In my city we have in excess of 300 murders a year, about half or more of those go unsolved, and my city has less maybe 0.15% the population of the US. Doing something rare alone does not make someone notable, we need substantial coverage of them doing the rare thing. John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:40, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
 * You are absolutely right that being murdered and it not been solved are not at all uncommon, but I must say that being struck by lightning is not very common. But I have to agree with you that this article is NOT notable because of just that event. Davidgoodheart (talk) 22:32, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
 * being struck by lightning is not as rare as you might expect. Hundreds of people are struck by lightning just in the United States every year according to the National Weather Service; with the average death toll being 49 people per year with more survivors than those dying.

 * Speedy delete per above. I don't know how this hoax has managed to stay here for 11 freaking years. Also, this was the only edit of the creator, then they disappeared into thin air. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 19:16, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete Couldn't find any single source about him both in English or Turkish. Probably a hoax. — Pamphylian  ● 💬 23:37, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
 * It's odd isn't it how the good articles sometimes get deleted after only a short while and crappy ones like this sometimes remain for a long time. Go figure! Davidgoodheart (talk) 05:30, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
