Appears to fail WP:GNG, minimal independent sources, promotional article, not particularly notable. Nythar^T^.^C 02:25, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Significant national TV Channel that has been broadcasting for over 30 years. Any potential promotional nature of the article is fixable, but not really a major cause of concern given that the channel is defunct. --PiccklePiclePikel (talk) 16:21, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
To the closing admin, please disregard the vote above as nearly all (if not all) of this users' votes have been keep while providing minimal and/or unreliable sources (see their contribs). Nythar^T^.^C 16:28, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Have you done WP:BEFORE ? --PiccklePiclePikel (talk) 16:32, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@PiccklePiclePikel: Is there a reason you vote "keep" so often? For a user who's been here for only a week, you seem to know more than regular newcomers, unless you've previously edited using an IP or something. Nythar^T^.^C 16:47, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Probably because it's easier to participate substantially in an article discussion that in your opinion is obviously notable in some way rather than the articles where you have your doubts. PiccklePiclePikel (talk) 16:56, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If somebody who can read Turkish is able to provide proper reliable source coverage to get it over WP:GNG before this discussion closes, then keep; if they do not, then delete. Absolutely nothing that can ever be claimed about any topic ever exempts it from actually having to have sources — even an "inherently" notable claim still has to be verified by sourcing to support it.

Delete or Merge to Southeastern Anatolia Project Hello PiccklePiclePikel Even back then Turkey had lots of TV channels - why do you think this was significant? Chidgk1 (talk) 08:02, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No sources provided and quick duck search provided little coverage. Roostery123 (talk) 15:10, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
