The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's

deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The consensus within WikiProject Chess (as opposed to the wider wikipedia community) is that players with the top title of
Grandmaster are considered notable, players with the 2nd tier title of
International Mastermay be notable and players with the next tier title of
FIDE Master or no FIDE title probably aren't notable unless they're well known in some other capacity (e.g. authors, magazine editors, administrators etc). This is less strict than the definition in
WP:GNG, but MJRW doesn't even meet the looser definition of notability that has evolved at WP Chess.

Delete per MaxBrowne. No significant coverage online from
WP:RS. Article creator has twice tried to add unsourced claims about a false arrest. It's currently sourced only by a tweet by subject.

Stay per MrRealAle. The player is noteworthy for their ability to hold down a noble profession as well as achieve a significant master category. FIDE master is considered important, together with IM and GM. — Preceding
