This page was written entirely by the person himself, Evan Ju, who has in the online chess community the username of "Flashchess" (and also "Eilyisum"). He has also, on a sockpuppet account, created the article VelocityChess (also nominated for deletion) which was closed as a scam website in Dec 2017. The intention of both articles was to increase visibility of himself and his services where realistically in the chess world he is unknown. ChessFiends (talk) 03:53, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete Not commenting on the sockpuppetry/conflict of interest allegations, but he does not seem to pass the notability threshold. Holding the FIDE Master title means he was undoubtedly a strong player, but not exceptional. Winning a state championship, even at a young age, doesn't seem to have generated any significant coverage outside of local press to satisfy WP:GNG. He doesn't meet any of the notability guidelines set by WP:CHESS (see here).--Pawnkingthree (talk) 15:49, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:NCHESS and does not meet the GNG. Hrodvarsson (talk) 22:33, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:NCHESS....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 18:06, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. "Youngest ever NJ state champion" is not sufficient to be encyclopedically notable as a chess player, and the other article claims are also not enough. Quale (talk) 05:41, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
