Andrew Brown (chess player)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This chessplayer is not notable enough to have a Wikipedia article.

While getting the "International Master" is a good achievement in chess, it is nowhere near the top-level as there are tens of thousands of such "International Master". The consensus on Wikipedia is to consider notable the chess players who got the "Grandmaster" title, which is above the "International Master" title.

Also, this chess player has not won any significant tournament, or played for his country in international competitions (only junior competitions). SyG (talk) 15:38, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. In fact, it's even incredible that he won the IM title with his highest rating being 2275!  I mean, you have to get to 2300 to become an FM, and usually, IMs are 2400+.  Anyways, he hasn't done anything impressive or noteworthy in the chess world besides obtaining IM, so I agree with the deletion.  ChessPlayerLev (talk) 19:38, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
