Popeye (chess)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Could not locate any reliable sources for this topic (WP:V), so I tagged for maintenance over a year ago. No improvement since then, so I'm assuming this software is unnotable (WP:N). Marasmusine (talk) 16:20, 12 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep, found some references. --AndrejJ (talk) 18:16, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. With regards enpassant.dk, do you know of our requirements for self-published sources? I don't think that the site's maintainer, Eric Bentzen, qualifies. Marasmusine (talk) 22:02, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete The sources listed above do not seem to be reliable, and thus this page fails the notability guidelines. OSbornarfcontribs. 18:55, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
 * delete - I struggled to find its notability especially bearing in mind the number of authors. I found a source that would probably meet Verfiability on google scholar. But it is not a strong paper and significantly does not provide a citation which would question the notability.Tetron76 (talk) 20:53, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

 * What is the criteria for notability of software? Regards, SunCreator (talk) 01:07, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
 * It is a good question, that is not easy to answer. I think the criteria for inclusion in a place such as Software_for_handling_chess_problems is low but for its own article without meeting WP:GNG I think that some clear contribution to chess or chess computers is needed. This would mean something like:
 * that other programs have adopted the algorithm
 * it was the first computer to be able to solve a famous problem
 * it does well in a competition such as World Computer Chess Championships
 * While this is a specialised computer dealing with fairy problems - I think this is not a fact that adds notability. If it was General Chess Playing Program able to play any version of chess could have made it notable problem solving doesn't really. I had a computer in 1981 that would cheat if it got too far behind. Tetron76 (talk) 12:44, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
