Non-notable - [http://hurarsiv.hurriyet.com.tr/goster/printnews.aspx?DocID=17670930 Hürriyet's news]: This product has not been invented no time. The reporter made ​​the wrong news. This is just a short story made by writer Oktan Keleş. It's just a historical fiction. Alamet is not real.

  • A comment - Famous Turkish actor Necati Şaşmaz wanted to make a film about this robot. He thought it was based on historical documents. But was not the case. This is only a story made by Oktan Keleş. Keleş learned of this film was made and he sued to Şaşmaz for copyright Infringement over Alamet's story. And Şaşmaz gave up making this film. Previously Alamet was believed to be real. But now is not so. If Alamet were a reality in science history, Şaşmaz film could do about it. --85.107.92.112 (talk) 09:50, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

  • Relist comment: The question is whether this historical robot is verifiable (WP:V), and whether it is notable (WP:N) either as a real robot or as a hoax. The discussion so far has mostly not discussed this seriously.  Sandstein  05:46, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete - There does seem to be some coverage (although I can't tell from Google's mangled translations whether the robot was real or fictional), and someone did seem to be planning to make [http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=f&hl=en-GB&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGHP_en-GBGB443GB444&q=Necati+%c5%9ea%c5%9fmaz+alamet a film about it]. Since the project was scrapped and the sources are so vague about the robot itself, I'd say it isn't notable. Perhaps if someone who can read Turkish could shed some light, it might be salvageable. Or maybe not, considering the page has been created and deleted [http://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alamet nine times] on the Turkish Wikipedia. DoctorKubla (talk) 08:22, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete there doesn't seem to be enough coverage for a standalone article, but perhaps a sentence in some related articles might be appropriate. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:51, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
