Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Seyhan Kurt (2nd nomination)
without prejudice to recreation ''if'' notability per  is established at a later date.Many thanks to the nominator for a well-researched nomination. I had previously |PRODded this article at the end of Marchhttp://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Seyhan_Kurt&diff=prev&oldid=202134440 on grounds of its being unreferenced for so long, and I think the nominator's most important point here is that the burden of evidence lies with the creator of content: it is up to those who create an article to establish notability, not to others to disprove it. The nominator's checks usefully confirm that Kurt exists and has published, but that's all, and publication alone is not enough to establish notability. I know that there are some cases where notability can only be established by those who now their way around specialist or non-English-language-sources, even when a google search draws blanks, but two years is more than long enough to wait in the hope that notability will be established. DGG is right that Turkish-language skills would probably be needed to establish notability, but I believe that DGG's arguments here amount to an inversion of proof and if we were to assume that non-English-language writers are notable unless proven otherwise, we would be driving a coach-and-horses through . I'm aware that there are |systemic bias issues here, but for me the clincher is that even :tr:Seyhan Kurt|the Turkish-language article on Kurt is unreferenced, which for me offsets any concerns that this is an English-language-bias issue
