Just...spam...and mostly unsourced. Likely socking between Mutlutopuz and Happybloom. Since most of the sources are not English, hard to tell if some article couldn't possibly be created. But given the obvious glamour shots, if this ain't UPE then I'm a monkey's uncle, even if it's not socking. Everything I'm seeing in English seems to be below low quality unusable sources.

Comment. This is a really annoying article. Its counterparts in French and German have been deleted, and the Turkish version has a tag on it.\. I'm reluctant to delete the article, though, because he and his inventions may represent something notable. https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6683-9250 and https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=PJz5GDoAAAAJ indicate that he has published in what I think are peer-reviewed journals, although the publications haven't been cited much. here is coverage in the Independent, a reliable British newspaper. Turkish-language newspaper articles can be translated using Google Translate. He likes to throw parties to bring in business, which explains why some of the references are about his parties rather than his hair-transplantation techniques. National Geographic's video unit's coverage is an argument for notability. This is an English-language reference from what I think is an English-language broadcaster in Turkey. Maybe stub the article, get rid of the part coverage and keep the neutral medical stuff. But in light of the history of the article, I don't feel like making these repairs myself.

Weak delete. At first sight this has all the signs of self-advertisement. However, the World FUE Institute does seem to exist and to have its headquarters in Belgium, with Koray Erdoğan as its President. However, I haven't managed to find a meaningful website. The link at World FUE Institute doesn't lead anywhere useful, at least that was the case until I deleted it. It talked about a meeting that "will be held in November 2016" (almost five years ago!). I suspect that the World FUE Institute article is also primarily advertising, and probably a good candidate for deletion itself. Athel cb (talk) 06:46, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
