I'm not sure if this falls under A7, though it likely does, so I'll propose this for deletion under the fact that it fails the general inclusion guideline.

 * Delete - unless there is particular media coverage, I regard chess players as having to reach Grandmaster to become notable or being an International Master together with another notable feature; as a coach or writer for example. Certainly winning state grade championships falls well short. I would also add that I see nothing notable about the page Ohio Grade Level Chess Championships.

 * Delete - See WP:ATHLETE - in sports, junior events don't give players notability. We take the same approach in chess - junior events don't give notability, except for truly exceptional prodigies like World Junior Champions. A national junior champion doesn't qualify, a state junior champion (as in this case) is another level below again. Peter Ballard (talk) 03:52, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
