Tagged 7 years ago as unsourced. I checked a couple of the sources on the Turkish article but not sure they are enough - for example they don’t support the first sentence here saying he was born in Macedonia Chidgk1 (talk) 13:06, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment If I were to judge purely based on their managerial career – having managed Beşiktaş J.K., one of the three major Turkish football clubs and having led Ankaragücü to a Turkish Cup win – I'd say there's no doubt they are notable. Robby.is.on (talk) 13:26, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per Robby, this guy is clearly notable, just needs improvement and offline, Turkish language sources. WP:COMMONSENSE needed. GiantSnowman 16:47, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Yes you would think with his career that good sources would exist somewhere. Perhaps native speakers of Turkish are not very interested in editing Wikipedia. I would not be surprised, as I find Turkish Wikipedia generally unfriendly and frustrating. Chidgk1 (talk) 06:41, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Keep - I looked through the Cumhuriyet online archive (only subscribers can view actual scans of the pages, but a text conversion is available here: [1]), and there are a few articles from the 1970s and 1980s that provide some coverage of Taner's managerial career. I expanded the article a little based on a few of the hits, and I believe there is enough in this online archive to suggest other offline Turkish-language media sources exist that would be enough to provide SIGCOV.
