Comment

Susan Lalic was listed under the Wikipedia:CHESS/Most Wanted section so I thought that I'd put one together. If I'm wrong, and it wasn't needed, let me know. TilonRespir (talk) 21:06, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

The Notability criteria for athletes claims that an athlete is notable if they meet any of the following criteria:

People who have competed at the fully professional level of a sport, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming, golf or tennis.^[1]
People who have competed at the highest amateur level of a sport, usually considered to mean the Olympic Games or World Championships.

I feel that Lalic, having won the British Women's Chess Championship 5 times, more than meets the above criteria. Particularly since most of the other winners of the same championship have pages with no apparent further merit - see Talk:Cathy Warwick. However, being new to Wikipedia editing I'll wait for someone else to remove the notability tag. TilonRespir (talk) 07:09, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My opinion is to keep the article. Bubba73 ^{(You talkin' to me?)}, 21:41, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
