729:, says very clearly: "Merely being in the news does not imply someone should be the subject of a Knowledge article. If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event, and if that person otherwise remains, or is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having an article on them." In this case reliable sources have covered the subject only in the context of two events, but in the coverage of the first event he merely appeared on a list of 9 people (clearly not enough to establish notability), and in the second he would not have been mentioned at all had he not participated in the first. Therefore the spirit of this principle applies, as does the rationale: "Biographies in these cases can give undue weight to the event and conflict with neutral point of view." (See next items.) In this case BLP advises: "In such cases, it is usually better to merge the information and redirect the person's name to the event article ." The last sentence says: "The significance of an event or individual should be indicated by how persistent the coverage is in reliable sources." While there is no doubt about the significance of the two events, there is no persistent coverage of Erdinç Tekir in reliable sources.

guess? For example, Ken O'Keefe took the rifles of soldiers, but we have no information whether Mr. Tekir took guns. If you can find a source for it, please cite it. In the first event, the significiant thing is the hijacking event, not particularly Mr. Tekin's involvement. In the second event, the flotilla raid got world's attention not because of his presence at the ship. If he did something special in the raid, like killing someone or being killed, that would get world's attention, but this is not so. He did not become a hero in Turkey. The page of

sufficient here. Criterion 2 clearly does not apply, leaving us with criterion 1: "The perpetrator is notable for something beyond the crime itself." Given that he was far from the only perpetrator in that case, and the only other thing he is arguably notable for is being wounded on board the Mavi
Marmara (and the overlap I mentioned above), this does not appear sufficient.
736:. It is not about the man but about the fact that there was a former terrorist on board the Mavi Marmara. (Something that Israeli sources such as the IDF had persistently claimed without any proof at all.) It's not acceptable to create a BLP article just for such a bit of information that can easily be included in another article (in fact, in several other articles).
702:
Marmara was in fact a terrorist. These articles are not at all interested in the person Erdinç Tekir – where and when he was born, his background, his motivations etc. – but only in the fact that his person proves an overlap between the Mavi
Marmara passengers and pro-Chechen terrorists. IMO this is not "significant coverage".

was deleted as people decided that he is not notifiable although he was killed. There is not a "Significant coverage" for "himself". He is only noted for his participation in that flotilla where people was killed after hijacking a ferry 14 years ago. You cannot open a page for any terrorist you want,

It should be noted that one of Mavi
Marmara passangers was a former hijacker, but that does not mean there should be an article for this man. There are only two special things in his life. Besides, he was not the leader of that hijacking event, the leader was Muhammed Emin Tokcan. In addition, there

Now this is my comment on the reason of your vote:"That's directly related to the discussion here: I think that when you take up arms in a way that draws the attention of the world press twice, you are sufficiently notable to have an article".

There are indeed two very special things in this man's life. The first is that he was part of a an armed group of

requires "significant coverage", defined as "more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material". We have a small number of short articles from

There are problems in your comment not directly related to this discussion, but I have to correct them otherwise voters would not know the truth. Firstly, the
