Alpay ulku[edit]

I hesitated greatly on this one, but Mr. Ulku does not quite seem to meet WP:BLP. A GNews search turns up very little; what little comes up seems to relate to a lone book published a decade ago. I also can't find much to assert widespread notability, and most of the article's award claims are totally unsourced. At the least this needs far better sourcing to show notability, but the most I can find at the moment is a single publication and a lot of claims. Failing deletion, it definitely needs a major cleanup if notability can be shown, but as per WP:N on artists, I think he falls short. Tyrenon (talk) 04:53, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: He is a poet and has one book of poems to his credit [1] I don't doubt that he has been published in all those journals from what I've seen. However, I cannot find anything on him, personally. Searches just come up with his works directly. We could just make it into a list of works, like "Ulku, Alpay. 'Cabin'. Ploughshares; Fall2001, Vol. 27 Issue 2/3, p219" --maclean 05:25, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
