Currently fails WP:GNG WP:BIO. May meet WP:PROF or WP:AUTHOR (author and translator can be verified). (Was having difficulty restoring an older version which has weak sourcing, and restore triggered the edit filter). Quick search didn't find coverage in RS. That leaves a BLP failing WP:V where the birth year has changed 1968 -> 1970 -> 1968 and can't easily be verified. WP:PERMASTUB Widefox; talk 11:08, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Update: After adding the publications (translation from .de) WP:AUTHOR seems the closest. Widefox; talk 11:18, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

An assistant professor is very unlikely to pass WP:PROF, but I haven't checked other possible routes to notability. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 15:07, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Publication of a letter and response to it in New York Review of Books [1] implies some degree of notability. He's also heavily quoted here. I'm leaning toward keep here, in part because he's published _so_ many articles (many of which are nutty IMO, but that's another issue). But there isn't a lot that contributes to WP:N.

- The guy's writings appear to be pretty rabidly anti-semetic and if this is kept, we should be sure the article indicates that a bit more strongly than it does now. Hobit (talk) 16:44, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I can't read Persian, but maybe someone who can could look for sources under the Persian spelling of the name, found in the infobox of the Turkish Wikipedia article:

Delete at this time as no sources have been presented at this AfD to justify inclusion. As noted above, the subject's views are not fully reflected in the article, so I think it's best to delete rather than have a misleading article. K.e.coffman (talk) 07:23, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and Salt considering the past 2 deletions alone, one in 2010 and the other 2013 which actually mean something, and the other thing is that he's literally not convincing for WP:AUTHOR or WP:PROF. SwisterTwister talk 23:56, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as this is a BLP with hardly any reliable secondary sources to verify the information. I am not opposed to a recreation of this article should reliable sources be found. But at this moment, I see a lot of articles by him but nothing about him. I am using the rationale at WP:WHYN here that we require reliable sources so that we are able to write an NPOV article about the subject. At the moment the sources (such as the primary source from Anti Defamation League alleging anti-semitism) do not allow us to do that. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 10:54, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
