Contested PROD but no evidence of WP:GNG was offered for this amateur footballer. Current sources are unacceptable as they are either fan sites, Blogspot or just basic stats sites. He therefore doesn't look to pass WP:SPORTBASIC. My searches, including [https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22Koray+Karag%C3%B6zo%C4%9Flu%22&t=ha&va=j&ia=web this Turkish search], shows that coverage does exist in WP:RS but it's all quite weak and most sources are only slight rewordings of the same transfer announcement. See [https://www.ntvspor.net/futbol/koray-karagozoglu-turgutlusporda-579e43cdc873cc20ac3b933a NTV Spor] and [https://www.hurriyet.com.tr/turgutluspor-koray-karagozoglu-ile-anlasti-22445357 Hurriyet]. I did also find a contract renewal announcement in [https://www.ogunhaber.com/amp/spor/turgutluspor-koray-karagozoglu-ile-1-yillik-sozlesme-imzaladi-167316h.html Ogun Haber] but this is also very weak and doesn't give any detailed content about Koray.

Comment This, Semi-professional footballer and not an amateur played a fair bit, I see some news posts about him, but not a lot. It's possible to establish GNG, whether anyone wants to do that is a different question. Govvy (talk) 11:33, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. Giant Snowman 17:49, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
Delete - As Govvy notes, Karagözoğlu had a long career in the second level of Turkish football (making 191 league appearances for various clubs). As such, I was expecting to find a lot of coverage of his career, but like Spiderone noted, everything appears to be routine or trivial. There are numerous transfer announcements ([https://www.yeniasir.com.tr/spor/2010/06/22/balkes_korayi_aliyor This] from Yeni Asır is typical), and often the announcements are simply copies of club press releases picked up by multiple outlets ([https://www.bursadabugun.com/haber/balikesir-li-koray-inegolspor-da-99656.html Balıkesir'li Koray İnegölspor'da] and [https://www.yildirimgazetesi.com/gundem/balikesir8217li-koray-inegolspor8217da-h12496.html BALIKESİR’Lİ KORAY İNEGÖLSPOR’DA] are clearly derived from the same press release). I just don't see anything that suggests the GNG is met. Jogurney (talk) 16:22, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
