[edit] Comments

"Had he accepted the offer, he would've been the first Turkish player to transfer to a European club." this is not true. Can bartu was the first turkish player to transfer to a european club in 1961 to ACF Fiorentina from Fenerbahce SK. so Bulent defenitly could not have been the first!

[edit] Discussion

Article listed on WP:VFD Sep 13 to Sep 20 2004, consensus was to keep. Discussion:

• In Turkish. Footballer. Stub, not sure even if it's on-topic. Over 2 weeks on Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English. Delete. -- Jmabel 07:23, Sep 13, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep fixed stub - Jmabel 23:59, Sep 13, 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. Mikkalai 08:30, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
• Delete: Untranslated page on a marginal figure, if it's really about him. Geogre 12:37, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. I've started a new stub article in English. And the most capped Turkish footballer is certainly not "marginal". sjorford 13:40, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. The new stub looks like something worth keeping to me. Livajo 16:30, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. Turkey is a major national football team (3rd best in 2002 World Cup) and this is their most capped player. That's very notable and we now have a good stub in English (instead of the mysterious Turkish text). Andris 18:03, Sep 13, 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable athlete. — Gwalla | Talk 03:33, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable footballer. Average Earthman 08:37, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. As Andris said, Korkmaz is the most-capped player on one of today's leading football nations (third at the 2002 World Cup, and in the top 15 of the most recent FIFA World Rankings). Dale Arnett 05:43, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)
