I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability (biographies) requirement. " It was deprodded by User:PatGallacher (creator) with the following rationale "as had significant coverage". I disagree: few minor mentions in minor media outlets; he is notable per WP:ONEVENT, already an old and forgotten story. Not enough to pass GNG.

 * Saying so does not make it so. You have to show it to us, and so far you failed. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 01:34, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete: As an event, his arrest is attested by RT and a single story in a British newspaper that doesn't corroborate the article's text. The other sources are primary, or at least not independent, and none of them are about the subject of the entry. Therefore, we have a speculative Wikipedia article that fails notability on the basis of lack of verification and EVENT. Hithladaeus (talk) 17:01, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete -- A left wing activist who interferes in another country'sa politics and gets locked up for his efforts. Hardly notable.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:42, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment: Some of the comments above seem a bit more dismissive than the circumstances warrant. The Daily Sabah piece cited in the article, for instance, certainly seems to be secondary, fairly substantial and about the subject - and I suspect that the same would apply to this, from The Times, if I could see behind the paywall. And left-wing activists who get arrested are notable if there is enough coverage from reliable sources, assuming that the coverage continues. So far as I can see, there was in fact a lot of press coverage in Turkish, quite a bit of it (so far as I can judge, not reading Turkish) looking reliable, at the time of the arrest, and there is still some continuing Turkish coverage - but having said that, without knowing Turkish, there is no way for me to judge whether this would even get close to taking the subject past the WP:ONEEVENT hurdle.
