Notability not assessed SyG (talk) 11:11, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * The main claim Glickman has to notability is that he devised the rating system used now by the United States Chess Federation. The article cites one reference, a fairly comprehensive interview with him which was published in the October 2006 Chess Life. However, I see very little point in an article where the entire content is "Mark Glickman is the inventor of the Glicko rating system, which was created as an improvement over the Elo rating system.", so my vote is to redirect to Glicko rating system.

 * Redirect I concur with the redirect argument. The current article contains nothing of significance beyond the reference to Glicko rating system. If someone takes the time to establish notability beyond that accomplishment, a separate article can be considered.--  SPhilbrick  T  17:42, 20 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Redirect I agree. There is no real biographical material on him in the article. Bubba73 (Who's attacking me now?), 01:40, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
