Aimen Rizouk

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Unsourced BLP with no effective secondary sources. Several machine generated profiles are used to validate it, including date of birth which is not mentioned in any of them. Fails WP:SIGCOV.  scope_creep Talk  14:33, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep. Grandmaster is the highest title awarded in international chess and Rizouk has participated in the highest levels of international chess competition.  The article helps build the web in is currently linked from 6 other significant chess articles].  Deletion would make the encyclopedia worse.  (Note: birth year was given in the first item under External links (FIDE Profile page), but it is true that this wasn't cited correctly.  I've added a dead tree source for full date and place of birth.)  Quale (talk) 01:04, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep We have usually kept biographies of players who meet just one of the four WP:NCHESS criteria. Rizouk meets three of them. As one of only a handful of African chess players to be awarded the grandmaster title, he is obviously notable. Cobblet (talk) 03:08, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep. This one is directly addressed in WP:NCHESS which states: A chess player is presumed to meet the general notability guideline if they have been awarded the title of grandmaster. As Cobblet states, there are additional reasons to keep, but the GM title is more than enough all by itself. Jacona (talk) 01:07, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Dude, this blind attachment to that sentiment is destructive and unacceptable. It the same sentiment that is espoused by the train folk. Only if the article is supported by secondary sources that support WP:V, WP:BIO and WP:SIGCOV does WP:NCHESS work. That article has been updated, so it works here, but so far this week, I've seen about 80 of these articles and they are broken junk. They will be deleted or draftified if they are grandmasters.    scope_creep Talk  05:08, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Is it "blind attachment to sentiment" to follow Wikipedia Policy? I don't know who the train folk you disparage are, and I haven't read the other 80 unnamed articles you mention. I have read the WP:NCHESS policy, I have read this article, and it meets NCHESS, is verifiable, and is covered by reliable sources. Also, I would ask that you not to call me pejorative names, even one that's only mildly insulting like Dude.Jacona (talk) 11:06, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
