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 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 NTV Spor and Hurriyet. I did also find a contract renewal announcement in 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 - 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 ( This from Yeni Asır is typical), and often the announcements are simply copies of club press releases picked up by multiple outlets ( Balıkesir'li Koray İnegölspor'da and 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)
