No indication of meeting WP:notability guidelines. References given either do not mention him, are primary sources or are not WP:reliable sources. Half of the article appears to be a copy of Hero Concept and their is no indication of him being notable independtly. noq (talk) 10:15, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There was a scheduled delete on two of my articles recently and I decided that I could improve one of them with more first party resources, as recommended by the notice. That is why I added lengthy interviews with the notable person in question, Serkan Özay, by two large media entities, an invited contribution on an official Sony website, and also the videos of a guest academic lecture delivered on a university's official vimeo channel. For some reason, despite my attempts in good faith in trying to improve the article per Wikipedia's standards, it was nominated for deletion with the same exact reasons stated in the first notice--essentially disregarding the later edits that I surmise solve the valid issues raised.

If you could review the latest edit again and in particular peruse the references 8, 9, and 10 that would be great. Thank you for your help. Cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by McRunninFly (talk • contribs) 15:43, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The interviews are with him but about Hero Concept so do nothing to establish notability for him. noq (talk) 15:58, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - sources, such as Linkedin and PlayStation Blog, do not meet WP:BASIC, other references are to the Doughlings company and not to Serkan Özay - does not meet any of the criteria of WP:ANYBIO - his contribution has not been "widely recognized" or "part of the enduring historical record" - therefore, delete - Epinoia (talk) 02:50, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
