 * Keep - Top50 World player of his era. Notable for beating Alexander Alekhine (List of people who have beaten Alexander Alekhine in chess), when playing in the invite only Margate 1937 tournament(includes three world champions) (http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chess.pl?tid=79481), of which all players(Reuben Fine, Paul Keres, Alexander Alekhine, Jan Foltys, Philip Stuart Milner-Barry, Conel Hugh O'Donel Alexander, Vera Menchik, George Alan Thomas, Theodore Tylor) have an article.

 * Keep per Sun Creator. "Totally non-notable" is an absurd claim at complete odds with reality.  Chessmetrics ranks him #43 at his peak at a time when there were many fewer tournament chess players (and tournaments) than there are today.  Linked from List of people who have beaten Alexander Alekhine in chess, and I don't see how it could possibly improve the encyclopedia to delete this article. Quale (talk) 05:56, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
