Delete. Nothing in the article can be verified, so we can delete per WP:V without even considering notability. But considering notability anyway: nothing in the article rises to a claim of notability through WP:PROF or WP:AUTHOR; in particular, publishing many things is not notability. We need evidence of impact through e.g. high citation counts or published book reviews and we have none of those. Provost of Boğaziçi University is not head of the university (it has apparently always been headed by a rector) and none of his other academic positions is high enough. He did not win the 1988 Franz Edelman Award for Achievement in Operations Research and the Management Sciences; he was merely one of five members in one of six also-ran teams. If he has headed important Turkish government development work, we need published reliable sources with in-depth content about his role in that work to pass WP:GNG, and we don't have those either. —David Eppstein (talk) 08:06, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
