The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (biographies) requirement. Prodded by User:RA0808, deprodded by creator without a rationale. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:44, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I stand by my PROD rationale that this does not meet WP:BIO or WP:GNG. The subject of the article has no WP:SIGCOV, the only third party source that can be found is a local newspaper article. All other search results turn up sites like chessgames.com and chess-db.com that do not appear to be reliable sources. RA0808 ^talk _contribs 17:18, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Nowhere near master strength, so not considered notable within WikiProject Chess. MaxBrowne (talk) 10:08, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. As RA0808 points out, there is a mention in a local newspaper of him playing former World Champion Viswanathan Anand in the Super Rapidplay Open section at the 2014 London Chess Classic (also confirmed in a passing mention in the Daily Telegraph). But that is not enough to meet WP:GNG and merely playing a Grandmaster in a speed format of the game does not make one notable. To put his playing strength into perspective, his FIDE rating of 1744 puts him 2906th in the world for Under-18s. The article calls him an "Under 16 European Chess Champion," but the only source is his own school's website and I have not been able to verify what exactly this tournament is and if it was notable.--Pawnkingthree (talk) 20:24, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
