Erhan Karahan

Procedural nomination: disputed proposed deletion (rationale: "Article about footballer who hasn't played in a fully-pro league and which fails the general notability guideline.") Subject request restoration of this article on my talk page, stating "the information on it is accurate. All clubs quoted are Fully Professional and the final club overseas competes at the Highest Level of European Football with caps in the FIFA UEFA Cup." I register no opinion at this time, but thought it might be wise to solicit broader input. — Scientizzle 14:15, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The claims of notability in the article cannot be verified. For example, the article claims that Karahan played for Sivasspor in the UEFA Cup (against Russian side Saturn). Sivasspor appeared in the Intertoto Cup (not the UEFA Cup) during the years Karahan supposedly was with the club, but as you can see here he did not play for the club in that competition. Also, the Turkish Football Federation profile links to a different person named Erhan Karahan, not the one born in Melbourne in 1987. I can find no record of a professional footballer playing for Sivasspor with the name Karahan on the TFF website, so it is very unlikey he ever signed for the club (and if he did, he never played for the club in an official match). Until another editor can verify some of the claims in the article, it fails all of our notability guidelines and should be deleted. Jogurney (talk) 15:30, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as unverifiable. The claim of notability cannot be verified per Jogurney. Until it can be verified, the subject fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Mentoz86 (talk) 17:30, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
