A mere chess organizer and author of some books on poker nobody bought. Not notable. The title of Candidate master fails to impress as well. Potential BLP issues abound as this article not only is not sourced to anything substantive, but it cannot be sourced. The subject here has been weighed, measured, and found wanting. Thank you.

Question. "[...] author of some books on poker nobody bought." On what basis do you say that? Ihardlythinkso (talk) 04:40, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep He's a highly respected author on poker, as a brief search of Google and Google Books will show, and was a very successful poker player, amongst the best in Britain. I'm not sure which poker websites are considered reliable sources, but I added some cites to books. --Colapeninsula (talk) 12:52, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Passes author criteria, including recommendation of French translation of his poker guide in the Las Vega volume of Frances' equivalent of Lonely Planet travel guides. That alone passes notability for a non-fiction author. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:59, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. I think either his chess writing and organizing or his poker writing would make him notable enough. Together it's definitely a keep. Quale (talk) 08:08, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
