- The fact that Olympedia would give a biography – even if brief – about a non-competing Olympic athlete for a non-English country shows something from the start. Additionally, he appears to have been a pretty prominent actor, with several leading roles it seems in notable films (this source mentions one of them as "iconic" in Turkish cinema"). I'd lean keeping. BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:59, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- Also, from all indications, he has a SIGCOV bio in the book Historical Dictionary of Middle Eastern Cinema; the German Wikipedia is in-depth as well and lists further sources. BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:04, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: Meets NBIO. I have added some sources but did not expand it much because most of them are in Turkish but there's enough to meet SIGCOV. I also added couple to a Further reading section that I did not have access to so only get a snippet in GBooks, one being an index to the Turkish biographical archives. Pinging @BeanieFan11: to take a look. I believe another editor is going to add some sources as well (see the talk page).

- Keep. All indications were to me that this is notable; S0091's finds of him (including being in the Turkish biographical index – i.e. a pass of WP:ANYBIO) prove it. BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:54, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per above. I've added some extra Turkish sources on his sports career. I will look into his acting career tomorrow. Styyx (talk) 19:04, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per sources found. Toughpigs (talk) 20:07, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: @Joeykai: I understand why you nominated the article for deletion but ask you withdraw it per WP:HEY so this does not have to go through a full 7 day discussion. S0091 (talk) 20:23, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- Keep as there appears to be plenty of coverage of him. Aintabli (talk) 04:45, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
