Keep Grandmasters are notable by virtue of being grandmasters. See a recent AfD regarding this, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Andrew Tang, and the discussion at WT:CHESS#Notability of chess players. Hrodvarsson (talk) 19:28, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Reaching Grandmaster level is indeed an "exceptional or notable achievement" and longstanding consensus is that Grandmasters are notable.--Pawnkingthree (talk) 20:21, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Hrodvarsson and Pawnkingthree. Googling "rasmus svane schach" brings up plenty of significant coverage. Cobblet (talk) 21:17, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Agree with previous voters, GM's are notable; also more interesting sources have been added to the article since this AfD was filed. Bruce leverett (talk) 02:43, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, I strongly disagree that merely being a grandmaster makes one notable; reliable coverage in secondary sources is what makes one notable. In this case, there appears to be adequate German language sourcing for this individual to pass the WP:GNG. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 00:46, 31 March 2018 (UTC).[reply]
