I don’t think the subject of this article passes our general notability guidelines, due to a lack of independent sources. All of the current references were either written by him, or those that knew him personally. A dilligence search found more of the same, although it’s possible that there are non-english sources that I missed. The article also has a promotional tone in my opinion, but that’s a surmountable problem, should the article survive this discussion. Chess enjoyer (talk) 23:03, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note that I happened to submit this for speedy deletion at the same time Chess enjoyer was making this nomination, so our apologies for the redundancy. Athanelar (talk) 23:11, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have commented out the speedy deletion request. My reasoning had nothing to do with my estimation of the value of the article; it was instead that either the speedy deletion request or this AfD had to go, and that a canceled AfD would bring more confusion than would a canceled speedy request. — Hoary (talk) 01:16, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
