 * Keep for now. This article about a 19th century Turkish musician now has two sources. One can assume that online English sources are rare, but older printed sources in Turkish are more abundant.  Can the nominator, who may be in a better position to research Turkish topics than I am, describe in greater detail why this musician is not notable, remembering that Turkish language  sources are fine for such an article?

 * Keep - Inadequately sourced as it stands, but this is a historical figure from a non-English culture and it's not reasonable to expect a wall of Google hits about a seminal kemençe player from a previous century; the sources are no doubt out there, even if not currently showing in the piece.

 * Keep: I am not familiar with the subject. But non notable and poorly sourced are different concepts. If the sources are too few, we can tag for citation. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 12:00, 8 August 2011 (UTC)


 * I couldn't find any printed sources about him. So I nominated this article. Thanks. Takabeg (talk) 23:49, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
