Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/SharpChess

I would agree that SharpChess is perhaps not notable enough to warrent it's own page. However, I do think it is notable enough to be listed on the pages from which it is linked. Although perhaps the links on those pages should just point to SharpChess.com, rather than linking to a dedicated Wiki page just for SharpChess.

Having said that please consider the following factors:

According to google, SharpChess is the second most notable chess engine written in C#. i.e. the 2nd link found on Google using the keywords "C#" and "Chess". Those keywords are quite generic. See link: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=c%23+chess&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a

A search for the name "SharpChess" on google today, returns SharpChess.com in the number one position - that's even above the SharpChess Wikipedia page, which is in position 4!

SharpChess has been established at SharpChess.com since 2004. It's not a new thing.

SharpChess is notable enough to be included in the Mono project. See screenshot of SharpChess listed under the Open Source section at http://www.mono-project.com/Screenshots.

Because SharpChess is an open-source program, it has been useful to many developers who are interested in learning about chess programming, particularly using C#.

SharpChess is not a commercial application, and has existed for the last seven years purely through donations - just like Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zenrath (talk • contribs)
