No independent reliable sources about the player (just passing mentions), just clubs and tournament organisers. Nothing useful on Google News. Fails WP:BIO Fram (talk) 07:41, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep player has participated in notable events (Tata Steel Chess Tournament), accomplished notable feats (wins against higher-rated players), and has independent reliable sources (theweekinchess) GeorgeMHall (talk) 18:33, 12 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete The definition of notability is about the same for chess players as for other topics. Participation in a notable event is not itself notable.  Games won against stronger players, even against notable players, are not inherently notable.  Appearance in TWIC is not the kind of coverage that defines notability; everybody and his brother-in-law has appeared in TWIC.  Bruce leverett (talk) 21:08, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not appear to have significant coverage - all I see is routine tournament results and databases of his games. If there is a trove of offline or Dutch language sources out there then great, but we need to see some evidence of that in order to keep the article. Pawnkingthree (talk) 12:12, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
