2018 Speed Chess Championship

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Chess.com held an event and called it the "Speed Chess Championship". It's not an official event by a chess governing body, and the sourcing reflects that. It's almost entirely chess.com sources. The only other sources for this are statistics and press releases on other chess websites (i.e. a list of who won or promotional information about the event with no in-depth coverage outside of chess.com). Nominating this and the 2017 event article separately since the sourcing may well be different. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 00:04, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - With all the information readily available at Chess.com, and it not being of general interest to the chess community more than other site-specific events, I'd say a reference on Chess.com to their detailed information page suffices.

 * Redirect to Chess.com due to lack of independent coverage.-- P-K3 (talk) 13:45, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: no extensive coverage in independent sources, i.e. outside chess.com itself. Also it looks like it was created by a WP:SPA.  Sophia91 (talk) 19:28, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Chess.com, this tournament does not pass GNG, but it is mentioned at the target, so redirecting is the best option. Devonian Wombat (talk) 13:19, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
