Barely notable. Other than some media outlets reporting on his death on the past day, I cannot find any in-depth coverage about his career. No songs that have made it to the national charts, no album certifications, nothing. Fails WP:NMUSIC in my opinion, though I'd be interested to see if someone could prove it otherwise.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete per nom. Note that the article does not make any claim of notability so WP:A7 (Credible claim of significance) may well also apply. MIDI (talk) 09:40, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Not sure. Turkish-language sources seem to exist. Deb (talk) 18:58, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. The Turkish version of the page has more references demonstrating a 32-year career where a large number of albums were released. Furthermore it does not seem to be overly promotional or ego-serving at all. Dr. Universe (talk) 05:39, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Sandstein   09:39, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Going with a slim keep here as there are indeed Turkish sources referring to a 27-album career. There is also apparently an out of court settlement about the misuse of his music on the Jack Ryan films. Google translate tells us that the relevant lyrics are "That song I released the grasshopper, did not put the grass in the writing, The sheep and the lamb to the lamb, Hop up the grasshopper, Jumping the grasshopper, My dear grasshopper, Knife was the grasshopper, How much is Bitcoin and Ethereum?" which not only demonstrates how legal genius can cut across language barriers, but also why Google translate will one day start World War Three.

 * Quick keep, the person is definitely notable and has coverage in Turkish sources some of which are clearly not promotional. here is sources I found in addition to those existed in Turkish and English Wikipedia: news from 2003 the person apparently also got coverage on scientific journals another scientific paper from CEEOL, Ahmetlii (talk) 18:32, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep as has coverage in multiple Turkish reliable sources as identified in this discussion and in the Turkish version of the article so that WP:Basic is passed and deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 23:51, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
