List of people who have beaten José Raúl Capablanca in chess

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This was included in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of people who have beaten Paul Morphy in chess but survived because it was not properly tagged. The reasoning remains the same: losing in chess is commonplace, even at the highest level, and therefore beating someone once is not notable. Mangoe (talk) 13:30, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - it didn't only "survive because it was not properly tagged", it also survived because it was the only one with a valid source discussing Capablanca's losses as a set, therefore passing (if only barely) WP:GNG/WP:LISTN. Ansh6 6 6 18:10, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's not what the closing admin said. Mangoe (talk) 13:39, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I only found one book discussing his losses. One source that discusses them isn't enough. Chesscruft. Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 21:20, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I read that as "cheesecruft" before noticing which page I was checking.... In any case, I think there were two mentioned before, but I couldn't view one of them. Ansh6 6 6 22:20, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as lacking in-depth coverage in reliable independent sources. Feel free to ping my talk page if solid sources get added. Stuartyeates (talk) 01:50, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
