[edit] Salih Ozkan

Article is a fabrication. If it were true, Salih would be a very notable chess player, but all the chess claims are lies. Claims to have won Corus 2005—actual winner was Peter Leko (see [1]). Claims to have been 1= with Kramnik at Linares 2003—actual results were Vladimir Kramnik and Leko tied for first (see [2]). You probably won't be surprised to discover that Salih Ozkan did not play in any of these supergrandmaster tournaments, that the World Chess Federation FIDE has no recorded rating for Mr Ozkan [3], and that User:Salihoz is responsible for his own article ([4]).

• Delete hoax, falsified claims. Falsification not currently criteria for Speedy deletion - maybe it should be. --WCFrancis 4 July 2005 07:35 (UTC)
• Delete (and could probably be speedied since deliberately adding misinformation could arguably be interpreted as "pure vandalism"). I often disagree with Quale when it comes to notability, but I certainly agree with his position of what to do with hoaxes. Nice job with the evidence collection, and good to see someone is watching what goes in to the chess category. Sjakkalle (Check!) 4 July 2005 13:17 (UTC)
