Unsourced BLP. Single machine generate data page and 404 ref. Date of birth is present but is not in any of the links. Seems to be a illegal common practice in these articles. Fails WP:SIGCOV. scope_creep^Talk 14:37, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People and Algeria. Shellwood (talk) 15:03, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have fixed the 404 (trivial misspelling), and added an additional source, making three. The date of birth was probably taken from List of chess grandmasters (in which it is supported by an external link). Bruce leverett (talk) 15:46, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Grandmaster is the highest title awarded in international chess, and he has participated in international competitions at the top level. Also a many-time Algerian chess champion. The article helps build the web and is linked from 9 other chess articles including Chess World Cup 2017. Deleting it would make the encyclopedia worse. Cited date of birth and added place of birth using a dead tree source also used by list of chess grandmasters. Quale (talk) 01:20, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep We have usually kept biographies of players who meet even just one of the four WP:NCHESS criteria. Haddouche meets three of them. As one of only a handful of African chess players ever to been awarded the grandmaster title, he is obviously notable. Cobblet (talk) 03:25, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:NCHESS. He has received coverage such as game analysis here and here, as well as an interview with the Kasparov Chess Foundation. EternalNomad (talk) 06:51, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep. This one is directly addressed in WP:NCHESS which states: A chess player is presumed to meet the general notability guideline if they have been awarded the title of grandmaster. It's like being named all-pro in the NFL, but for your brain, not your body. Jacona (talk) 01:05, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
