The article does not meet the notability guidelines. Pinar (talk) 04:34, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Delete. What I gather from the article is that:

  • In his youth Mr Bolak was a member of a nationalist youth movement. His rank within the movement does not appear to have gone beyond that of a local organiser and for two years the "provincial chief" of the nationalist party in Kayseri.
  • One of his poems was composed into a song.
  • He now runs a local newspaper.

With regard to the sources cited:

  • Source #1: I do not have access to the book but from the contents page I can reasonably assume that no more than half a page is dedicated to Mr Bolak, whose name appears alongside hundreds of other individuals associated with the movement.
  • Source #2: Cites a page from "Türk Edebiyatı" magazine which published a poem by Mr Bolak in 1997.
  • Source #3: Mr Bolak is mentioned in passing as having come third in a high school competition back in 1962. The publisher of the source is unknown.
  • Source #4: Mr Bolak's name is mentioned amongst a list of writers for "Millî Yol" magazine (a nationalist publication, circulation unknown).
  • Source #5: Cites an almost 1,000 page indictment. No particular page reference.
  • Source #6: Printed source. It is not clear whether the citation refers at all to Mr Bolak's involvement in the establishment of commando camps.
  • Source #7: Mr Bolak's name is mentioned, not expressly stated but presumably as publisher of "Millet", a local newspaper.
  • Source #8: Indicates that one of Mr Bolak's poems was composed by Erol Sayan.
  • Source #9: Printed source. It is not clear what his "works" comprise of. The article itself only mentions one song.
  • Source #10: Same source as #9.
  • Source #11: Mr Bolak is mentioned as owner of Erciyes Gazetesi, a local newspaper.

On the whole, neither the sources cited nor the contents of the article establish notability. Pinar (talk) 05:51, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

  • When it comes to notability, "fame" and "popularity" are secondary considerations. The sources which have been cited are insufficient to establish the basic criteria: "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject". His contribution to the Idealist Youth Movement is no different than that of hundreds of other people. That he may be associated with notable people does not make him notable by association.
