Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Turkey

WP:DSTURKEY

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Turkey. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Turkey|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Turkey. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Middle East.

Fails to satisfy WP:NPROF. Very low h-index and no indication of WP:SIGCOV (alternative criteria when there's no indication of notability per WP:NPROF). TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 09:53, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Master (2009 film)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Tagged years ago in both languages, and the cite is not enough to show notability. Hard to search for English name as is common word. Chidgk1 (talk) 14:58, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Film and Turkey. Chidgk1 (talk) 14:58, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Tagged 7 years ago as completely unsourced. I only found one reasonable source https://www.milliyet.com.tr/magazin/cannesa-kanal-d-damgasi-7219054 Chidgk1 (talk) 06:57, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fairly obvious merge into Kanal D, though that article requires substantial attention. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 16:48, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per Sammi Brie. There is certainly not sourcing to support a standalone article. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 18:16, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dokuzuncu Hariciye Koğuşu

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Tagged 6 years ago as unsourced. The source on the Turkish article might be good and I found https://ahmetandicenmtal.meb.k12.tr/meb_iys_dosyalar/06/22/256625/dosyalar/2022_12/30193320_Peyami-Safa-Dokuzuncu-Hariciye-Kogusu.pdf which is maybe the script? But 2 sources are not enough to show notability Chidgk1 (talk) 13:32, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Film and Turkey. Chidgk1 (talk) 13:32, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I think the source in the Turkish article supports WP:NF. The novel is much more notable than the film and covered in school curricula in Turkey. The film seems to be an adaptation of it with a cast consisting of top actors in Turkey. We need to check the archives to find more sources. TheJoyfulTentmaker (talk) 16:12, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Adding another source, a thesis comparatively analyzing the film and the novel. [2] TheJoyfulTentmaker (talk) 17:43, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: in light of the sources presented. A redirect and merge was absolutely warranted anyway, so, very opposed to deletion of this. (Note: AfD is not cleanup and 2 sources can sometimes be judged enough (and often are))) -Mushy Yank. 01:46, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I thought there was a guideline somewhere suggesting 3 sources minimum. Whenever I create a new article I always cite at least 3 sources Chidgk1 (talk) 06:37, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You have the essay WP:THREE and of course, the more the merrier, but I don’t think 3 is the threshold. -Mushy Yank. 11:24, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per the reliable sources identified in this discussion including the one linked by the nominator and the thesis identified by The Joyful Tentmaker, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 22:03, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dadı

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Tagged 6 years ago for lack of cites. As far as I can tell the cites on the Turkish article are just for stuff like what time it was on rather than whether it was a good show or successful Chidgk1 (talk) 13:15, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Television and Turkey. Chidgk1 (talk) 13:15, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List_of_foreign_adaptations_of_The_Nanny#Turkey: until better sources are added but AfD being for deletion not cleanup not opposed to Keep (notable cast, 3 seasons on major networks) -Mushy Yank. 10:24, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ziya Taner

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Tagged 7 years ago as unsourced. I checked a couple of the sources on the Turkish article but not sure they are enough - for example they don’t support the first sentence here saying he was born in Macedonia Chidgk1 (talk) 13:06, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Football, North Macedonia, and Turkey. Chidgk1 (talk) 13:06, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment If I were to judge purely based on their managerial career – having managed Beşiktaş J.K., one of the three major Turkish football clubs and having led Ankaragücü to a Turkish Cup win – I'd say there's no doubt they are notable. Robby.is.on (talk) 13:26, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Robby, this guy is clearly notable, just needs improvement and offline, Turkish language sources. WP:COMMONSENSE needed. Giant Snowman 16:47, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes you would think with his career that good sources would exist somewhere. Perhaps native speakers of Turkish are not very interested in editing Wikipedia. I would not be surprised, as I find Turkish Wikipedia generally unfriendly and frustrating. Chidgk1 (talk) 06:41, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pir (Alevism)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Tagged many years ago as unsourced this does not seem notable enough to need a separate article. No objection to merging but I don’t know which other article would be most suitable. Chidgk1 (talk) 12:58, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Does not meet WP:NSINGLE. Unreferenced. -Samoht27 (talk) 05:00, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Albums and songs and Music. -Samoht27 (talk) 05:00, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep: Appears to satisfy WP:GNG as the music video was a subject of scholarly analysis by multiple authors: [3] [4]. I can't find anything beyond these two authors though. The two authors both appear in the first source, but I don't think it stops the sources from being independent of each other. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 09:04, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Turkey-related deletion discussions. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 10:41, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Development Agency (Turkey)

I found the source in the Turkish article at https://www.sbb.gov.tr/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Kalkinma-Ajanslarinin-Turk-Hukuk-Sistemindeki-Yeri-Ahmet-Tamer.pdf but I think it needs someone more familiar with the subject to figure out whether this is notable. At least one agency still exists https://ankaraka.org.tr/en But are they just window-dressing for development policies which are now top-down? As the Ministry of Development (Turkey) no longer exists how do they work and who controls them? Chidgk1 (talk) 07:42, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect T3 (Tram İzmir) as ATD. The creator made articles for every station and they cannot be WP:BLARED since there already has been a draftification attempt, so might be good to convert this to a batch nom? Jumpytoo Talk 06:13, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jumpytoo: I do intend to nominate the rest of the recent creations as a batch, but I prefer to test the waters first before doing a batch nom that could end up being a WP:TRAINWRECK. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:59, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just curious, why can't they be redirected due to being draftified? - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 20:47, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To clarify I meant BLARED without discussion, since the draftification was opposed they have to go through AfD Jumpytoo Talk 22:21, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm still confused, since drafting isn't redirecting, I'm not seeing why "opposed draftification" means "cannot boldy redirect". - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 02:35, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If one opposed draftification, it would be reasonable to expect they would oppose a redirection too. Theres nothing that disallows a BLAR after draftification, but it usually will be fruitless since it would likely be reverted and youd have to AfD anyways Jumpytoo Talk 17:38, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to line, I did my best to find sources and did not find any independent sigcov of this station. Turkish Wikipedia's sources were not helpful. Support similarly redirecting other station articles to this line. Toadspike [Talk] 14:43, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. I understand the concerns about notability, but I believe that the articles on the stations are important and can be kept. The stations on the Izmir T3 tram line play a significant role in the city's public transportation infrastructure, and I am willing to support their notability with additional sources and content.

The Izmir T3 line is a vital part of the city's transportation network, and these stations are integral to that. There are independent sources, such as local news articles and reports about transportation, that cover these stations and their significance. I am happy to provide these sources to demonstrate that the stations are notable beyond routine sources.

To strengthen the articles and address the notability concerns, I propose:

Independent news sources: Adding citations from local newspapers, transportation reports, and public relations materials to highlight the stations' role in Izmir's transport system.
Their contribution to public transport: Emphasizing the importance of these stations in the context of the wider public transport network in Izmir.
Diverse sourcing: Supplementing the articles with a broader range of sources, such as independent studies or official reports, to give a clearer picture of their significance.

Given their role in the transportation system, I believe these stations do meet the notability guidelines. If there are any specific additional sources you would recommend, I am open to including them.

I also understand the concerns and am open to improving the articles further. I believe with the right additions, these articles can meet Wikipedia's standards for notability.

Thank you again for your input! Erdem Ozturk 2021 (talk) 19:17, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
