The subject fails to meet both general notability criteria and chess players' ones (Grandmaster or national champion). Sophia91 (talk) 16:42, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep First, he is not a chess player, he was with FIDE, and decided who the grandmasters were. I found two sources:
 * 1) http://en.chessbase.com/post/mikko-markkula-1947-2012
 * 2) https://www.fide.com/component/content/article/1-fide-news/5973-mikko-markkula-rip.html
 * These links are already in the article. WP:GNG says "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list.": to me, this is not the case of the subject; e.g. FIDE was his employer.
