Milan Vukadinov

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Participating in a Chess Olympiad is not sufficient for WP:NCHESS unless you or your team get a medal - and the only coverage I can find of Vukadinov in reliable sources is routine coverage of his Olympiad appearance which just mentions the team's performance (not sufficient for WP:GNG/WP:NBIO). According to ChessGames, he's just a National Master (a relatively low title whose standards vary by country but are never above a reasonably skilled amateur level). — Bilorv ( talk ) 00:48, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep The article dedicated to Vukadinov's memory in En Passant, June 2003, pp. 21–34 (original link is down; mirror) provides enough material for a short article. It notes that Vukadinov was ranked as high as 8th in Canada in the 1970s, and had US and Canadian ratings above 2400, which is significantly more than the minimum 2200 requirement for a national master in those countries. Ten references to Milan Vukadinov in the Google-digitized Windsor Star: most are trivial but the article on December 15, 1980 is more substantial. Canadian Serbs: A History of Their Social and Cultural Traditions (1856-2002), p. 181 notes four more sources dated 1975–1981 from The Times (Detroit), The London Free Press, a Serbian newspaper in Toronto, and the magazine Michigan Chess.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Natg 19 (talk) 01:20, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep There were profiles of him after his death in the Globe and Mail and Toronto Star . As mentioned above he was profiled in the Windsor Star   . I think this allows him to pass WP:GNG. Z1720 (talk) 03:11, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
