 * Comment. Without prejudice as to the notability or lack thereof of this topic, if this article is to be merged to Karadağlar, as proposed, the page should most definitely not be deleted but instead be made to redirect there. So either Keep, or Merge and redirect (for which no AfD case needed to be opened). --Lambiam 15:28, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment The link in the article makes no mention of Payidar Köyü, although it does turn up a lot in searches -- köyü means "village", and payidar seems to translate as "enduring". Apparently, it's not a significant enough part of the show that there's a lot to say about it.  Mandsford 20:06, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment I created the page, and naturally think it should be left alone. Mandsford, there is a link to Payidar Köyü in the Karadağlar article, but I'd translated the "Köyü" part into "the fictional village of", as you are right in seeing "köyü" as meaning "village of". I thought this translated form would read better in English. "Set in Payidar Köyü" would mean little to a non-Turkish speaker unfamiliar with the series, and "Set in the fictional village of Payidar Köyü" looked wrong to me, as it repeats the word "village" twice, albeit in different languages. The latter could be used though, as the familiar from of "Sahara Desert" does after all mean simply "desert" in English followed by the word for "desert" in Arabic. As for there being not "a lot to say about it", I don't have too much time to spend on the Wikipedia each week, but I do intend to expand the article later on with details as to the significant buildings and people in the village. As for it not being "a significant part of the show", the each episode is either set in wholly it, or mainly in it with some extra scenes in the countryside around it.

 * I think Mandsford is referring to the external link to the article on the Çanakkale İçinde website, found under References. This is indeed not a good link for verifiability purposes (Adatepe and Yeşilyurt are mentioned, but not Payidar) – let alone for establishing notability.  --Lambiam 15:13, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Redirect for the sake of building a consensus. Inadequate sourcing to WP:verify notability. Shooterwalker (talk) 15:07, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
