Only claim of notability is receiving an award from the Turkish Journalists' Association in 2010, which according to the source was given to 11 people in the sports category that year. Not to mention that the wording in our article is wrong and that he did not get the 'Sport Article of the Year' award, but rather was one of the two winners in a subcategory of that (column).

The one other source is a book selling site, which also sells his books. Searching for his name -Evrensel (which he works for) gives absolutely nothing noteworthy. Lacks any coverage to be notable. ~Styyx^Talk? 12:18, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. The creator of this article has only 4 edits, all from 2016 and only on the same article, which might indicate COI. Aintabli (talk) 03:12, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
