[edit] B. Volkan Yucel

This sub-stub (current entire content: "B. Volkan Yucel (18 January 1978) Turkish writer.") does not identify who this person is or provide any evidence of notability even within the Turkish-speaking world, let alone the English one. Google has only about 50 distinct hits for this name, the top ones of which don't look like potential reliable sources. Not speaking Turkish, I can't tell if any of these sites make a notability case, but the fact that (A) tr:Wikipedia apparently has no article for this person, although it lists 8 other names with "Yücel" in them); (B) the U.S. Library of Congress lists no such person, although it has 33 Yücels or Yucels; and (C) Amazon.com knows nothing of this person, make it look very much like a vanity article. en:Wikiquote also has the corresponding q:B. Volkan Yucel up for deletion. Since the creator (same ID on both en:WP and en:WQ) recreated the article several times after it was deleted on WQ, I didn't bother to {{prod}} it here for failure to assert notability. I recommend deletion. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:40, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as per nom. No hits on Factiva or Google Books or Google Scholar either. And a shout-out to another verbose nominator... Bwithh 00:55, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. The single useful fact is the date of birth. David | Talk 23:13, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. The Wikiquote page appears to cite one of the quotes to a book titled "Pop License: Jargons of Turkish Universities", but the book (with the cited ISBN) doesn't show up in Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or any of the other booksources at WQ. —LrdChaos (talk) 15:25, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
