Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Mehmet Okonsar

I disagree on the deletion proposal based on: The information on "Musicians - notable.." says: 9. as won or placed in a major music competition. Thus please consider my several nominations and awards including the Gina Bachauer International Piano Competition (1991) among others

AfD Opposition
My opposition for the deletion proposal is based on the following:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_%28music%29#Criteria_for_musicians_and_ensembles A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, DJ, musical theatre group, instrumentalist, etc.) may be notable if it meets at least one of the following criteria: Criteria for musicians and ensembles section: 9 "Has won or placed in a major music competition." Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gina_Bachauer_International_Piano_Competition "Other notable laureates include Armen Babakhanian (1991), Mehmet Okonsar (1991), Violetta Egorova (1991), Kevin Kenner (1988), Vassily Primakov (2002), Lev Vinocour (2002), Luiza Borac (1998), and Junior competitors Nareh Arghamanyan (2000), Colleen Lee (1993), Rachel Cheung (2004), Aristo Sham (2008), Leonardo Colafelice (2012), Aimi Kobayashi (2012), Tony Yike Yang (2012), and Josh Wright[5] (2010)."

section: 5 Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable). Please see: "TANGO, Best tangos by A. Piazzolla": personal arrangements for piano solo "Mehmet Okonsar Plays Gershwin" Complete works for the solo piano by Georges Gershwin and a personal transcription of the Rhapsody in Blue

Published at: "Rec by Saatchi" a National (Turkish) label which complies with the specifications mentionned above regarding "important indie labels" Please refer to: http://www.recbysaatchi.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by Artoffuge (talk • contribs) 07:52, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
