Iowa State Chess Association
- Iowa State Chess Association (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)
I believe this organization is lacking sufficient notability. The United States Chess Federation is a national organization of some notability, but do we need articles for branch organizations in all 50 states? It might be acceptable to merge all three of the articles I'm nominating into one article describing the various members of the USCF, but I am dubious of the value of that. Of the nominated articles, I only see the New York one claiming notability, and I am unable to confirm it (didn't even see a history section on their site) Mister.Manticore 21:22, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

- Of these, New York State Chess Association has a fair amount of matter, but short stub pages for each regional chess federation branches could each be a section of one big page. Anthony Appleyard 21:35, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

- Keep all. Mister.Manticore has a strong antipathy for chess-related pages on Misplaced Pages (see Misplaced Pages:Articles_for_deletion/Alekhine's_defense, Modern_variation, 4...Bg4 for another of his batch deletion nominations). Answering the question, "do we need articles for branch organizations in all 50 staes?", I would say that they aren't needed, but they would be desirable. There's no reason to delete the ones we have and a good reason to write articles on the ones that are missing. The articles are well organized in Category:Chess organizations, and we have a clear criterion: these are the state organizations that are affiliates of the USCF, the national organization. (If we had articles on 20 or so of the state affiliates we would create a subcat of Chess organizations for them.) I don't think Manticore's complaints address any accepted Misplaced Pages inclusion or deletion criteria. Basically they boil down to WP:IDONTLIKEIT and WP:IDONTCARE. Those aren't good reasons to delete pages. Quale 03:50, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
