Deletion of Chessgames.com

Comment: I have used this free site daily for 10 years and have no financial connection.  FWIW I'm quite familiar with wp:AFD discussion rules having attempted to remove Libertarian Party (UK). Chessgames.com has an invaluable database of master games, graded daily puzzles and biographies which should provide synergy with the Chess featured article for users of Wikipedia. Top grandmasters can also play consultation games with users. My efforts to use it as the authoritative reference it undoubtedly is for Henry Thomas Buckle's chessplaying record were thwarted when the http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessplayer?pid=10323 reference was removed.  The article lists his best games and record, what more is needed?  Even if the article lacks newspaper references, if it reliably informs our readers it deserves to stay. This is an important principle & I believe  applies
