Tree of Evolution

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Promotional article. Fails GNG and ORGCRIT. Nothing with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth.  // Timothy :: talk  09:52, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

 * From my understanding, this started as a non-profit back in the day but has grown into something more since then (the wording on their own website is super unclear as to what it exactly is). According to this, it was still just a student organization back in 2015. The thesis in ref 5 is accessible via the government thesis site . Pages 110–127 of it are specifically about Evrim Ağacı. There is some general information but independent conclusions are present towards the end. Other than that nothing in the article strikes me as a good source, so I'd agree with the assessment above. Some additional sources are present at the Turkish AfD from a few years back, where it was kept. Among them was this RS from 2014 about a conference they organized and that's pretty much the only source that deserves to be mentioned here; the rest are either small mentions, non-RS sources or just not independent. I found this 2 sentence piece about the website being blocked by the National Library, which solely relies on a tweet made by them. There is this RS which reads a bit promotional. Others are just reciting a scientific passage from the website ("According to Evrim Ağacı..."). I'm quite undecided on this one. ~Styyx Talk ? 16:06, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Tree of Evolution is the perfect name, they certainly have branched and evolved.  // Timothy :: talk  17:04, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete I'm not sure what this "thing" is either, it's tagged as a think tank, but reads like it's a social club at a university. I can't find sourcing for whatever it is; if I can't tell what it is after reading the article, it's not needing an article here. Oaktree b (talk) 22:39, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm thinking this site isn't a RS, explains this group is an online learning portal. Very confusing. Oaktree b (talk) 22:41, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete social club of some sort. Not notable at this point. Aintabli (talk) 02:43, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
