Cristobal Dominguez

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

I really cannot make head or tail of this article - it is an almost entirely random collection of words. It does seem to vaguely mention a chess player who may or may not be worthy of an article, but as it stands this is a probable candidate for deletion per WP:PN; bringing it here for discussion.

 * Weak Keep. I agree that the article is poorly written and poorly sourced, but that is a matter for cleanup.. not deletion. As a Chess master he does have some coverage that may lend itself to cleanup, expansion, and proper sourcing.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 23:14, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. Much of the writing problems stems from it being a translation of this page. I'm not copyright-savvy enough to know if that makes it a copyvio issue.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  17:54, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep as english no good but chess ok. and per Q. P HARMBOY  ( TALK ) 01:01, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Doesn't appear to have been a sufficiently highly ranked player and doesn't have significant tournament wins. Clarityfiend (talk)
 * Comment. The subject's maximum rating achievement appears to be 2259, which is a strong master level, and of a level where you would compete in fairly prestigious national tournaments, but it is below the grandmaster and/or national champion level where I will almost automatically say "keep", and even below the international master level where I am somewhat ambivalent. However, the article does cite this Spanish biography which does seem to contribute to meeting WP:BIO guidelines. Staying neutral, and will add a note on the WP:CHESS WikiProject.

 * Comment. Major achivement of Cristobal Dominguez is not only to be well ranked but to be a booster of the Game in a city  that since his appearance recovered its relevance as a reference in South American chess    17:57, 17 October 2008 (UTC)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pedrominguez (talk • contribs)


 * Delete Not enough accomplishements to be considered a notable chess player. The title of Chess master is way too low to give notability, the least to be notable would be Grandmaster, which is much higher. SyG (talk) 18:57, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
