You are right in questioning the edit history of the creator, however the topic does meet notability through significant coverage apparent in the sources used in the article.

I can only speak about the Turkish sources here. Ref 2 from an RS is quite lenghty, however, it mostly consists of "Her work will be shown in an expedition" and then it's a bunch of quotes from a few people. I don't really see much significant coverage about her. Ref 3 from an RS is super short, and wouldn't qualify as significant coverage. Ref 4 from an RS is only 3 sentences long, wouldn't call that SIGCOV either. Ref 7 is the exact same source as Ref 2, so it can't be counted as seperate. Haberler.com isn't considered to be reliable on the Turkish Wikipedia anyway. Ref 10 is from a random website I've never heard of, I don't think it's a RS. Now, looking at the Turkish sources, I don't see a reason why I should be convinced of Azerbaijani being any different. I'd be surprised if there suddenly was a huge contrast between the sources. Considering the nominator is fluent in Azerbaijani (and a former azwiki sysop), I'm leaning towards delete as well. Mind you that just looking at the titles, Refs 1 and 8 appear to be about the exact same thing as Ref 2. Gonna pull the
refbomb card here.

That's an essay, which tend to have almost no value when it comes to an AfD per
WP:SNG. You could make an argument for WP:ENT#4bWP:NARTIST#4b instead, which is at least a guideline. However, I think it's a bit borderline. Having a single exhibition, for just over a week, in a culture center that hosts hundreds of exhibitions a year, IMO doesn't make someone automatically notable, and the guideline itself states that those people are "likely notable", not "definitely". I don't think an argument based on barely meeting an SNG is going to convince others to keep what is pretty much cross-wiki spam.
~StyyxTalk?18:04, 1 September 2022 (UTC)reply
What do you mean by essay? The article seems to talk about what happened at the opening of the exhibit. "launched in AKM by Deputy Minister of Tourism Özgül Özkan Yavuz, Consul General of the Republic of Azerbaijan in Istanbul Narmina Mustafayeva" seems quite significant, especially in the political-historical context that the exhibition sits in with the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. What are you referring to with
Wikipedia:Notability (people)#4B? The exhibition is talked about in the major Turkish newspapers, not just
Daily Sabah,
Akşam,
Yeni Şafak but also the big daily's
Milliyet,
Hürriyet have entries about this exhibition. So yeah its not definitely notable as most things as you say, but makes a quite strong case for it being notable enough.

What I mean is that
Wikipedia:WikiProject Contemporary Art/Notability you linked above is a
Wikipedia essay, which aren't significant at AfD's (as explained by the final paragraph of
WP:SNG). I meant to refer to
WP:NARTIST#4b, not WP:ENT. The subject barely meets that, but I'm not willing to keep a cross-wiki spam article that only has a claim of notability because they had a 9-day exhibition at AKM which hosts hundreds of those each year. These criteria point that such subjects are likely notable but not definitely, and
WP:SNG states that topics meeting such criteria can still be deleted "if adequate sourcing or significant coverage cannot be found", which is the case here.
~StyyxTalk?19:23, 1 September 2022 (UTC)reply
Oh yes, @
Styyx, then I agree about #4b, which is basically the same criteria that I referred to in the Wikipedia essay. And yes, "such subjects are likely notable but not definitely" . In this case "adequate sourcing or significant coverage" can be found in the form of articles in the major Turkish dailies.

I explained in
my first comment why that's not the case. The
Milliyet source is literally two sentences, one of which is the subject's own quote. The
Yeni Şafak source is three sentences. These short blurbs aren't considered as significant coverage. I don't know which Hürriyet source you are talking about, I can't seem to find it.
~StyyxTalk?20:02, 1 September 2022 (UTC)reply
@
Styyx I'm not referring to those specific articles per say as there is multiple articles by those newspapers talking about the exhibition. There are maybe a couple hundred articles about the exhibition specifically. Hurriyet only mentions the opening of the exhibition
Bugün ne yapsak? | Orkun Ün | Köşe Yazıları (hurriyet.com.tr) Some of the more substantial coverage of the exhibition includes:
I'd like to echo what I said in my first comment: most of these are the exact same source, copied word for word, that can't be considered as seperate. A good chunk aren't reliable anyway.
~StyyxTalk?06:31, 2 September 2022 (UTC)reply
@
Styyx I understand your point, however, that is not completely accurate. Other than the English language
Daily Sabah article and the Azeri YeniGundem article, the remaining articles originate from 3 separate sources. One from
İhlas News Agency, another from
Anadolu Agency, and lastly from an article written in Platin by Olcay Can Kaplan. I have re-organised the list of articles so that they are grouped by the ones with similar origins so that this will be easier to see. These original sources are generally reliable given the topic.--

Thanks, that's a very interesting AfD stats page. Did not mean to bludgeon. It's hard to be credible in saying that there is significant coverage without actually going and finding that coverage to present to the discussion, thereby the reason for my further contribution.

Comment So based on the source analysis waaaay up top, she isn't notable. If she's been the part of a major museum display/exhibition, fine, but we still need sources to confirm that or it's a tenuous GNG at best.

Delete owing to a lack of
multiple, in-depth, high quality sources with which to write a biography. Does not meet WP:GNG. Styyx has covered the Turkish sources, I’ve looked at the rest, they are all about an exhibition at the Atatürk Cultural Center and do not represent significant coverage of the subject of the article. My own searches find nothing useful. --
