I have major concerns this organization fails WP:NORG. I prodded it and it was improved a bit but per my post from the article's talk few months ago which generated no response: "Even after the recent expansion, WP:GNG/WP:NORG issues persist. Only the Independent coverage is, well, independent (but it is very short, at 2-3 paragraphs, and barely meets WP:SIGCOV. Other sources are either self-published by the society (their Variant Chess magazine), come from a fanzine (and take the form of a press release [1] and an WP:INTERVIEW with the founder [2], or the last ref ([3]) fails SIGCOV (this is just another fanzine? mentioning that the magazine CV is published by this org). I am afraid this is still not enough to make this notable. WP:NOTYELLOWPAGES (or catalogue of NGOs)." I guess it's time to discuss it at a wider forum (AfD). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:14, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into ~~Chess variant~~David Pritchard (chess player) I think there is enough information for at least a section heading somewhere and that is the logical place. Or maybe David Pritchard (chess player). That page would also work and actually seems a bit sure on references so could do with the input from a merge.

Merge to David Pritchard (chess player). Not enough independent coverage to warrant its own article, but there's already a paragraph about the society on David Pritchard's page that could potentially be expanded. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 14:36, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to David Pritchard (chess player) per above. Pawnkingthree (talk) 15:01, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
