Raptor Chess Interface

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article about a minor open source game with no reliable sources so unverifiable. No evidence of notability. Prod contested, so brought here for discussion. Sparthorse (talk) 20:05, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nominator. I find no reviews for this on Google and no indication of meeting WP:N otherwise. Blue Rasberry (talk) 20:06, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a review: http://chesshive.com/2011/08/raptor-chess-fics-desktop-client-for-mac/ Sorry if my indentation/editing of this talk page is incorrect. MartinMorrison (talk) 20:13, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why do interfaces such as XBoard,Pychess and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eboard_(chess) have Wikipedia pages? How can I give some evidence of notability that gives a level of credence to my Raptor page that the other interfaces have. There seems to be no special 'evidence' for the other interfaces other than a link to their development page/website - which I have given for Raptor. The other interfaces do not have reviews either?

Please read Wikipedia's guidelines on reliable sources which tell you that reliable sources are "reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy". I don't believe that Chesshive meets this standard as its a blog. As for the other articles, even if they don't meet Wikipedia's standards that does not mean this article is not required to. We treat each article independently. Thanks, Sparthorse (talk) 20:16, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is it okay if I flag the other pages for deletion then? MartinMorrison (talk) 20:19, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've nominated XBoard and EBoard, but Pychess has at least one reliable source. Sparthorse (talk) 20:21, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Would that be http://www.linux-magazin.de/Online-Artikel/Gewonnen-Trophees-du-Libre-2009 ? MartinMorrison (talk) 20:24, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Sparthorse (talk) 20:26, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Free Internet Chess Server, which appears to be its only instantiation. Jclemens (talk) 00:39, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It would be a good idea to merge with that page. MartinMorrison (talk) 15:54, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete As the sole author/editor of the article and the editor who contested the PROD, MartinMorrison, accepted the lack of notability and !voted delete, this could/should arguably be a PROD. Salvidrim (talk) 20:28, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think a merge makes more sense now. At least list the difference interfaces and their pros/cons on the Free Internet Chess Server page. MartinMorrison (talk) 15:55, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge I agree with Jclemens and MartinMorrison.--Kaspo (talk) 02:10, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
