TimothyBlue: did you attempt to access the ample offline sources in the German-language article in your BEFORE or source eval? GGT (talk) 11:31, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Pretty broad-stroke statements on part of the nom here that show a deficient evaluation of the sources and the subject matter. I'm not talking about non-RS like turkcebilgi.com here. Anyone familiar with the history of Turkish press knows that for flagship publications like Milliyet or Hürriyet, promo pieces didn't exist until essentially the last 10-15 years (due to changes in ownership/media dynamics, one may wish to read Emin Çölaşan's memoirs to understand this process), so no way that those sources from the 1960s are "promo". The Milliyet sources are pretty difficult to access as they require Flash Player, but I'm able to access at least two: a piece from 21 March 1967 that discusses the new board of Fenerbahçe and gives a brief biography of Arca, and an obituary published on 25 April 1979. Now the fact remains that even these are decades after this guy's active football career. That was a time when Turkish surnames had not yet been introduced, so any mention of this person is more likely to be as "Sabih" only, making it even more difficult to locate. Furthermore, the Turkish alphabet was only Latinised in 1928, and of course, all of the sports publications of that era (particularly Spor Alemi) remain fully offline. We do, however, have modern coverage such as this article in Sabah about the history of Fenerbahçe which gives a one-paragraph biography of Arca as a "legendary forward". This is a very strong indicator that this guy had such lasting notability that he would be listed as a legend in articles a full century after his football career. As such, 1) the posthumous coverage on its own is sufficient to meet GNG in the barest of terms (but this is bearing in mind that we're looking at the archives of only one newspaper...) and 2) more importantly, it indicates that contemporary in-depth coverage is almost certain to exist. If someone does end up browsing through magazines in a Turkish library, please do ping me. --GGT (talk) 12:12, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
