Draft:World Student Team Chess Championship

Submission declined on 4 June 2025 by Sophisticatedevening (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the event meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for events. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

provide significant coverage: discuss the event in detail, not just brief mentions or routine announcements;
show lasting significance: analysis published after the initial breaking news has passed, showing historical impact;
are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
are independent: not connected to the event, such as press releases, the event or organizers own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet all four of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.
