Non-notable person. Article was speedy deleted in 2009. I PRODed the article but the author removed it (along with other tags.) The first sentence says that he is a highly ranked FIDE player, but the first reference shows no FIDE ranking or rating. The article mentions his "notable showing in the US Amateur Team East" and is referenced by #6, which lists two games - both loses. And being the 65th highest 16-yer-old in the US is not notable.

Delete. Not notable as a chess player, and no other claim for an article is presented. Quale (talk) 05:00, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per lack of notable mentions, media coverage in general. I didn't find any good sources on both Google and Yahoo! aside from MySpace and his Linkedin page. SwisterTwister talk 05:12, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No indication of notability; the significance of the cited sources is overrated. Richwales (talk · contribs) 03:08, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Non-notable; agree with others. And the claim "child prodigy" from article origination equals unjustified promotion. Ihardlythinkso (talk) 18:00, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
