[edit] Oklahoma Scholastic Chess Organization
Again, a local chess organization with no claim to notability, and probably an agenda to promote its own website. Out it goes. YechielMan 00:01, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. WP:NOT a directory, and unless the organization is notable for some other reason, I recommend that the article be deleted. --Alan Au 01:01, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- Delete organizing scholastic chess tournaments is hardly a strong claim of notability. -Elmer Clark 01:41, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. Not local but state-wide. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 02:15, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- Delete as nonnotable. As a group, it needs to have actually done something notable. The fact that it is statewide is nice, but the article needs to establish a level of activity that brings it into greater prominence. NTK 03:23, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. Nothing especially interesting about it, and there are many similar ones. The only reason for keeping would be for the goal of "sum of all human knowlege", which is a stated goal of WP. Bubba73 (talk), 15:07, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

- Keep What are the notability criteria for chess organisations? Unless or until we establish such criteria, I suggest keeping all such articles, to avoid having to recreate them once such criteria are established. Wiki not paper, sum of human knowedge et al.. Jcuk 20:13, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom; I also think Elmer put my argument quite succinctly. -- Kicking222 23:32, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Prolog 12:52, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. In the absence of guidelines, notability would have to be demonstrated... it isn't. --Dweller 10:52, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
