Indiana chess institute

Article fails to establish notability. RickK 05:05, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)

• You're right RickK, but I cannot bring myself to vote delete on a chess related article. So abstain. Sjakkalle 06:46, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I see there is a grave danger of this article being kept so, with a heavy heart, I now say delete. Sjakkalle 06:56, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

• Verifiable group. Keep and allow for organic growth. Non-"notability" not established.--Gene_poole 07:05, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable; I trust Sjakalle in this one. Radiant_* 08:18, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)
• keep it is verifiable Yuckfoo 16:21, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Verifiable and notable are different things. Ben-w
  • Verifiability is not a criterion for keeping. This seems like just another business. How much do they charge for their services? RickK 18:37, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)
    • Verifiability is significantly more of a justification for keeping than "non-notability" is a reason for deleting.--Gene_poole 23:14, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Looking at their website, this is a non-profit and a very small one. Other than the existance of the website, I can't find anything verifiable to say. Delete. Rossami (talk) 01:26, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable. "Non-notability not established" is a canard. The burden of proof is backwards — It's up to those who vote "keep" to show notability. Quale 03:25, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Look like a commercial for a guy who wants to make money teaching people to play chess. I see no evidence that it is a non-profit organization, no indication of 501c3 status... Wikipedia isn't a place for free promotion, is it?--JonGwynne 04:18, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Notability not established. Jayjg ^(talk) 22:03, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
