Serhat Gülpınar

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

No evidence of WP:SIGCOV and WP:NSPORT. A search mostly returns biographical entries on some news sites, which often include a lot of people who are not notable according to Wikipedia standards. Some of these bio entries I found appear to be straight copy-paste of the article on the Turkish Wikipedia, which also doesn't have good sources to demonstrate his notability. This "article" also appears to have included a total of one sentence for more than a decade. I don't usually nominate sportspeople for deletion, so feel free to correct me if there's something that satisfies one of the criteria. Aintabli (talk) 20:35, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment Gülpınar made close to 250 appearances in the Süper Lig, the Turkish top level which makes it highly for them to be non-notable notable. Anyone familiar with Turkish newspaper archives should have no trouble finding WP:SIGCOV. Robby.is.on (talk) 20:59, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I presume you mean highly likely for them to be notable? GiantSnowman 18:34, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, thanks. Robby.is.on (talk) 09:32, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep -, Per Robby.is.on. Please rescind the deletion nomination. I found ("Serhat Gülpınar, who took charge of the team for 10 matches at the beginning of the season in Altaş Denizlispor, surpassed Fatih Tekke, who had an average of 0.8 points after 6 matches, with an average of 1.1 points"),  ("A player who can use both feet, hits the ball well and runs a lot. These features make him a wild card that can be used in every part of the field. The fact that there are even matches where he plays as a striker is the clearest proof of this feature") , ("Serhat, who has been wearing the Denizlispor jersey for six years and has entered the team's counters with his performance in the midfield"),  ("WHO IS SERHAT GÜLPINAR... Serhat Gülpınar has managed 41 official matches so far, with 18 wins, 4 draws and 19 losses"), among many many more Turkish sources. Clealyr significant figure in Turkish football with ongoing manager career, having made around 250 appearances in the Süper Lig and managed many pro Turkish teams/games. Definitely has offline sources, since barely any of the newspapers, especially the Denizli ones, a city where he made over 150 appearances for Denizlispor, have lots of football coverage dating back to the 2000s. Article needs improvement, not deletion. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 16:50, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm going to look for sources before reaching a conclusion, but Denizli Haber (the newspaper with the widest circulation in Denizli) certainly has articles from his playing days online like this from 2007. I don't think appealing to the existence of offline sources is really necessary here. Jogurney (talk) 17:12, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I never said they had zero articles from his playing days online, I'm saying that there are less of them available online, especially from 2003-2005 etc... Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 17:19, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Ah, that's true. However, I'm concerned that a search of Gülpınar futbolcu on the newspaper's website yields only 7 hits (none of which are directly about him), so even his managerial career isn't getting much attention in Denizli (unless the newspaper keeps most of its sports articles offline even today).

 * Keep per sources above which show notability. Really, really bad nomination. GiantSnowman 18:35, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I might have been misguided. Years of lack of content (with 1 sentence) plus a quick search that did not return much prompted me to nominate it for deletion. It's not like I'm nominating an absolutely notable and fleshed out article. And I think with all the comments above, this AfD has been beneficial for the article even though the original point of an AfD is deleting articles. Aintabli (talk) 20:02, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
 * , Would you be able to withdraw the deletion nomination? Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 17:05, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
 * , Since you withdrew the nomination, can you please close the discussion? (see Closing discussions if you need help). Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 16:50, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
