I do not believe the subject meets the notability guidelines on biographies. There is no assertion or evidence that the subject has any non trivial thrid party media coverage or has historically contributed to their field (chess) in a manner worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. -- Pump me  up  08:30, 7 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete I have to agree with the nominator. This article was made via articles for creation. I reviewed it, and after much hunting for more sources, I declined it as not meeting WP:GNG. The user then asked for further help and, after discussion, I got two other experienced Wikipedians to independently double-check my assessment. They, also, did not locate any reliable sources other than chess clubs, and were similarly not able to accept the submission and make the article live. After these discussions, the user themself decided to move it to the live area. Per all assessments, and particularly with BLP caution, I do not feel this person meets the requirements of notability.  Chzz  ►  07:07, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete I'm just not seeing it here with this article. I hate to say this, but maybe if it was better written or had more information or sources--then possibly.  Kudos to the author for being bold and moving it in though... Try another wiki??--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:46, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per Chzz, I also thought the article should have been declined per AfC, and if the creator did not agree, here it is at AfD.  — fetch ·  comms   14:45, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
