I found no indication that this individual meets any notability criteria. According to the WKF his world ranking is 597. He's had some success as a junior/cadet which, according to the medals chart in the article, he was still competing as earlier this year, but I don't believe that's sufficient to show notability. The article also lacks independent sources. Papaursa (talk) 23:20, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This individual clearly fails WP:MANOTE since junior events are not considered notable (even world championship events for juniors have been deleted). Astudent0 (talk) 12:56, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Lacks reliable sources and fails to show notability. Jakejr (talk) 13:36, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: There may be sources in Turkish, but I cannot guarantee the how good they (like this one are. Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:02, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

To be barely ranked in the top 600 of an organization and meet none of the specific notability criteria of WP:MANOTE seems sufficient to show subject is not notable. Jakejr (talk) 16:06, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
