[edit] R.Kan Albay

R.Kan Albay (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

prod removed without improving article at all. This article doesn't show why this guy is notable at all. For all we know, based on article, those films can be flops. If guy was notable, or at least his films, there would be honors and awards listed and IMHO, links to other pages because people would cite him as sources or at least his movies.

• Comment Actor was a main character in a Dutch (or Belgian) tv series ("Emma") and Director/ Writer of two films that don't have their own article. I tend to NN, but this might need clarification from Dutch Wikipedians. Malc82 14:47, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Also has articles on the Turkish and Flemish WP. Malc82 14:51, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep - see this nl.wikipedia entry and this tr.wikipedia entry. --Evb-wiki 14:22, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
• Weak delete unless better sources can be found. IMDb confirms the existence of his films, but they seem to be fairly minor productions. His strongest claim is probably being an actor for a Belgin TV show which is not even included in the article and probably doesn;t quite meet WP:BIO. Eluchil404 04:34, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Being a stub is reason for expansion rather than deletion, looks notable anyhow. RFerreira 06:23, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. It's a stub, what else are stubs for? I was unaware directors needed awards to be on wikipedia? Fisheke 09:36, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

• Comment That it is a stub is not at all the question here. The question is the notability. And yes, winning awards is one of the main criterions for the notability of an actor/producer. Malc82 11:13, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, W.marsh 17:14, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

• Weak keep if this is the main character in Emma, it would meet BIO, though just barely since this is a new Dutch series of unknown notability. I've added the acting filmography to the article.--Chaser - T 18:02, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
