Claims notability as mayor of Turkish city of Trazbon. I could be wrong, but per WP:POLITICIAN, specifically item 2, he does not met WP:N. I have found no press coverage of him, although someone who knows Turkish may be able to find some refs. No other outstanding claims to fame. -Zeus-u 19:17, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep If even "members of the [...] council of a major metropolitan city" are "likely to meet this criterion" by receiving significant press coverage (WP:POLITICIAN, 2) the standards can't be exceptionally high. Google News shows several articles in probably local newspapers Günebakış and Taka, others may find out more. PanchoS (talk) 02:23, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'm surprised that the nominator found no press coverage, because all that you have to do is click on "news" in the search linked above to find 1,770 press articles. Clearly passes WP:POLITICIAN criterion 2 as a major local political figure who has received significant press coverage. These sources include major national publications such as Hürriyet, Zaman and Milliyet. Phil Bridger (talk) 12:44, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
