I'm pretty much sure that a child's death during a riot, which was covered by the media, 'has' biographical value. Yet, I'll respect the outcome of this discussion and wait for the results. Keivan.f^Talk 03:04, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Not enough information to justify a separate article from the main event, 2014 Kurdish riots in Turkey. AidanSW (talk) 04:48, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Not notable. No coverage beyond the fact of his killing. Can redirect to 2014 Kurdish riots, but I doubt anyone is actually searching this name.Hydromania (talk) 04:53, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Yasin Börü, then redirect to 2014 Kurdish riots in Turkey – As said above, there is no biographical value besides the event. So, shouldn't the page redirect to the event? To explain the move before redirecting, it's to preserve the page history. Invalid^OS (talk) 17:16, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Never heard of Yasin Börü so I ran a proquest news archive search on his name. Here is the first article in the search:

Yasin Börü murder case goes awry, top suspects present documented alibis

Cihan News Agency; Istanbul [Istanbul]17 Apr 2015. " STANBUL (CIHAN)- An investigation into the murder of four members of the Free Cause Party (Hüda-Par), among them 16-year-old Yasin Börü, has come undone, as three of the top suspects have presented documented alibis.

These suspects have proven that one was hospitalized, another was behind bars and the third was serving in the military on the opposite side of the country at the time of the murders, which took place during violent protests in the southeastern city of Diyarbakir on Oct. 7.

The undeniable innocence of these suspects has aroused suspicion regarding the integrity of the investigation.

The latest proof of innocence was presented earlier this week, after Ersin Adiyaman had been labeled a fugitive, located in Istanbul, taken into custody and detained for a day. Following his detention, the branch of the military in which he had served sent documents to authorities revealing that Adiyaman had been performing his mandatory military service in western Turkey while the crime was taking place on the other side of the country. Adiyaman testified at the Diyarbakir 5th High Criminal Court, confirming that he was in the 57th Artillery Brigade in Menemen, a district in the province of Izmir, between Oct. 6 and 8, and that he was only discharged on Oct. 22.

In March, lawyer Mahsum Kaya revealed that his client, Ahmet Y., was in prison while Börü and his friends were murdered. Kaya stressed that, though he had submitted documents proving that his client was still behind bars until Oct. 9, his client has not been released.

Similarly, suspect B.D. has been able to prove that he was admitted to Selahattin Eyyübi State Hospital on Oct. 2, where he received treatment until Oct. 24, making him unable to have committed the crime.

During the Eid al-Adha (Feast of the Sacrifice) holiday, Börü and his friends Riyat Günes, Ahmet Dakak and Hasan Gökouz were distributing the meat of sacrificed animals to those in need with friends in Diyarbakir, a province at the center of violent protests that took place across Turkey between Oct. 6 and 8. The protests were triggered by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levent (ISIL) having besieged the Syrian Kurdish town of Kobani.

According to witness reports, the four friends came upon a group of protesters on Oct. 7 while distributing the meat and ran away, seeking shelter in the lobby of an apartment building, where they were pursued and stabbed by the protesters. Witnesses say Börü fled to the building's upper floors but was pushed out of a third-floor window by unidentified protesters. The group ran over his body with a car and crushed his head with a stone.

My comment: There are 54 news stories in the archive. Activists in the case has a twitter account with 5141 followers [1], translation reads: Yasin Börü Case: This account is used to inform the public. Developments related to the judicial process will be shared. Google his name and lots comes up. At this point, I have no idea what tht fuss is aobut, not even sure whether he Kurdissh, Turkish, or whethere this is about one of the other foualt lines that causes regular plitical tremors in Turkey. But there is a page on him in Turkish Wikipedia: [2]. And the terse nominating statement makes me wonder what axe Nom has to grind here. E.M.Gregory (talk) 09:58, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:GNG due to a lack of sustained WP:SIGCOV. The event he was killed at was notable, but he is not. Newshunter12 (talk) 01:23, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
