None of the information in the article even as much as alleges that the subject is notable in any way. If this is all that can be said for the subject, then this article should have been speedily deleted. In short, this fellow is NOT NOTABLE in any way, shape, or form. He has been weighed, measured, and found lacking. Thank you. OGBranniff (talk) 06:00, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. His best resuts establish notability (drawing a match with Levenfish in 1910 is no mean feat). Toccata quarta (talk) 14:33, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep mention in London Illustrated News and Russian sources pass GNG. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:26, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. None of those sources covered the topic in detail or substantially. Passing mentions don't cut it. OGBranniff (talk) 13:45, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Won at Odessa 1908 and Riga 1937, consequently linked from List of strong chess tournaments and List of mini chess tournaments. Second at Birmingham 1939 and tied for first at London 1940, consequently linked from 1939 in chess and 1940 in chess. Linked from five other bio pages, so deletion would break the web and create more than seven red links. Sources are adequate. Quale (talk) 07:57, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
