Given the hoax nature of the title, copyvio in the edit history and other issues in the history we should delete this troublesome stale draft (yes, the page is currently blanked) Legacypac (talk) 09:16, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Stanley Random Chess is indeed a hoax, but a quick glance at the last unblanked revision reveals that only the Rules section is written "in universe", as it were. The rest of the article discusses the variant as a hoax/parody, and also its implementation on online chess servers inspired by the hoax. While it certainly needs some work before mainspace, and notability is probably suspect, it's actually a nice little article, and only blanked because of vandalism after the author apparently abandoned it.

• Keep as blanked. Copyright issues in the history are not issues because WikiMedia is not publishing the history. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 13:18, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
