Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Chess

Shortcuts

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion and merging of articles related to Chess. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion and neither does removing an AfD from this page remove it from the main page at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:deletion sorting|Chess|sig=~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Chess. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Chess at the 2025 ASEAN Para Games

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

In March 2025, a user created a series of articles relating to groups of events at the 2025 ASEAN Para Games, which I will list below shortly. They are universally sourced only to primary sources. I personally lack the linguistic and sporting knowledge to effectively search for possible WP:SIGCOV in southeast Asian languages. However, currently I strongly suspect they do not pass WP:GNG. I am sure that other reviewers share my doubts, as all the articles have remained on the New Pages Patrol backlog for 18 months.

As such, I am presenting them to the community so we can get a decision on whether they should be deleted. My own position is weak delete as of now, but I what I really want here is the views of users with more experience in terms of sport articles to give their views.

Delete per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alpine skiing at the 2012 Arctic Winter Games - very obscure events that don't need this kind of detail. Geschichte (talk) 09:27, 18 September 2026 (UTC)reply

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
