Simply not true - I have even done an IMA on Reddit which was commented on quite a bit here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1usndf/iama_kingscrusher_chess_entrepreneur_and_very/

My Youtube channel has over 105k Subscribers making it into the top 20 most popular Youtube channels for Chess. My Twitch channel has over 15k followers making it into the top 20 most popular for Chess.

Further, I am a FIDE CM titled Chess Player - and have won a few tournaments in real life as well as qualified for the British Chess Championship main event one year, scoring just below 50%.

But if you think I am not that notable, I will mention it on my social media. --Kingscrusher (talk) 13:23, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- @Kingscrusher: Are you suggesting that you made this article? It's poor taste (and generally against wp:coi) to edit articles about oneself. BrxBrx(talk)^{(please reply with {{SUBST:re|BrxBrx}})} 06:05, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@BrxBrx:) No I did not start the article - I only discovered it recently doing a Google search. I was quite happy to see the article and wondered why it couldn't be left. Regarding editing the article - yes I thought that was okay to contribute something to it. That seems reasonable to me to make any informed corrections etc. I am not entirely sure why it would not be. But I certainly did not start the article or aware of the person who initiated it.

Comment statement above is even more reason to delete the article. article is apparently entirely written by it's subject. Whether or not this AFD stays open depends on whether or not the article gets speedliy deleted.SurpriseandConquer (talk) 20:06, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The comment above is a false accusation made by an anonymous person SurpriseandConquer - I certainly did not create the article nor do I know the person who did. But check the revision history for yourself. I did some edits as the revision history shows though - and I thought I was entitled to. --Kingscrusher (talk) 09:59, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Edit: Checking the anonymous persomn it indicates for them now:

"This account has been confirmed by a CheckUser as a sock puppet of KingofGangsters (talk · contribs · logs), and it has been blocked indefinitely." - which I am glad there is checking because essentially it is a false accusation that I initiated the article. I do not even know the person that did. --Kingscrusher (talk) 10:01, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
