• Delete would need major roles to be notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:34, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as entirely trivial and unconvincing, and next, same is said as a martial artist, therefore no applicable notability has been established. SwisterTwister talk 19:38, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep He isn't an actor at all, he's a stunt coordinator and a fight choreographer. Google turns up a fair amount on him in Turkish, which I can't read, but seems to relate to his work on Secret of the Sultan – apparently a notable film in Turkey. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 00:59, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep This is very close. But, found what appears to be ok coverage in Turkish (don't read it), he is in a martial arts Hall of Fame, found a 1984 reference in Black Belt magazine where he was included in a list of elite black belts, and he has appeared or done fight coordination in several notable German/Turkish films or TV shows. While I'm skeptical about whether the appearances or coordination work qualifies under WP:ENT, the whole package seems close enough to error on the side of keep.

Martial art hall of fames have never been considered indication of notability and neither is a passing mention in a list defined by an adjective. They attended something and were called elite. Does not come close to meeting WP:MANOTE.Peter Rehse (talk) 10:25, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. As I said above, I'm not sure any one feature qualifies under any individual criteria of notability, but in my opinion the whole package (including martial arts, with RS mentions, and profile in notable TV and movies) seems likely notable. I stand by that assessment. AbstractIllusions (talk) 01:47, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
