Doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:ENTERTAINER. Nikki♥311 00:53, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

• Keep. This is what Turkey is the best in the world at. This professional wrestler easily meets WP:GNG. There are numerous hits on Google. It wouldn't be hard to add references to prove WP:GNG and this wrestler should not have been listed for AfD.  Nipsonanomhmata  ^(Talk) 19:11, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

• Comment, the Google hits do not include reliable third party sources that I can see. Please add them if you can find them. Nikki♥311 02:30, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

• Comment: I can see why sourcing may be harder, but he does appear notable. Like David Hasselhoff, "big in germany." A 2007 AfD on de.wikipedia also resulted in a keep. (See de:Wikipedia:Löschkandidaten/18._Juni_2007#Murat_Bosporus_.28bleibt.29.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 03:56, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Nice analogy. :-)  Nipsonanomhmata  ^(Talk) 13:09, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

• Comment, That AFD is from June 2007, when standards weren't nearly as strict. I don't speak German, so I couldn't read the keep/delete arguments, but I do know this: I looked at the German article, and of the four references, two are Wikipedia articles, one appears to be a blog, and the last one is an interview with a wrestling fan site. None of those help establish notability. Nikki♥311 19:20, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

But those Germans love to delete articles!--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 03:45, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

• Keep based on my prior commentary. Not convinced it merits deletion.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 03:45, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
