Chess (OS X)

This article is being nominated again as the last discussion from less than three years ago closed due to lack of arguments, but the notability concerns still remain. I was still unable to find in-depth coverage about this program. This is a mostly unsourced article with all the sources cited here being primary sources that only mention this program in passing and in relation to the Mac computer only. This should at best be a redirect to the article about Mac OS X. edtiorEهեইдအီးËეεઈדוארई電子ಇអ៊ី전자ഇī😎 01:54, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Weakest possible keep. There is currently little information about the topic, and all that can be written is some information and what it does. However, merging it in to OS X would nonetheless distract readers away from coverage of the OS itself, reduce the ability of comparison with other similar programs, and since may compromise the convention to split other software into their own articles.

 * Merge to List of OS X components. Here's my solution. Unless someone digs up "reviews" of the Chess game, the only secondary sources we're using for this thing are secondary introductions to OS X that describe the pack-in software (like Calculator and the rest of the unsourced articles in that section of the OS X navbox). One such source is or  (which has some background on its origins). If this is as deep as it gets, a few sentences in a list of this low-level OS X pack-in software would suffice. The closest we have is List of OS X components, which is a simple list right now, but I recommend that it be built out with one or two sentence descriptions (such as the one I just mentioned) since many of the other items on this list have little coverage, similar to the Chess game. This is to say that the other similar articles should be boldly merged as well.  czar  03:00, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of OS X components. Czar's solution is the way to go. Surprisingly little coverage has been published on this application to satisfy WP:GNG. I sampled a few other articles on List of OS X components, and most of them are essentially in the same situation. (e.g. DVD Player (Mac OS), Contacts (Mac OS), Stickies (software)) If we fleshed out the list with the content that is reliably sourced in each of those articles, I can see a really solid article formed.

 * Merge per preceding posts. Doesn't deserve its own article but can be redirected to one. I imagine not much has been published about this app because there's really not much to say about it. Zeke, the Mad Horrorist  (Speak quickly) (Follow my trail) 22:07, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
