Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Iowa State Chess Association
FrozenPurpleCube has a strong antipathy for chess-related pages on Wikipedia (see Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Alekhine's_defense, Modern_variation, 4...Bg4 for another of his batch deletion nominations).  Answering the question, "do we need articles for branch organizations in all 50 states?", I would say that they aren't ''needed'', but they would be ''desirable''.  There's no reason to delete the ones we have and a good reason to write articles on the ones that are missing.  The articles are well organized in :Category:Chess organizations, and we have a clear criterion: these are the state organizations that are affiliates of the USCF, the national organization.  (If we had articles on 20 or so of the state affiliates we would create a subcat of Chess organizations for them.)  I don't think Manticore's complaints address any accepted Wikipedia inclusion or deletion criteria.  Basically they boil down to  and .  Those aren't good reasons to delete pages
