The result was    '''redirect''' to [[Free Internet Chess Server#Interfaces]]. I am having a hard time finding substantial content in the article that can easily be merged ("key features" looks more like promotional material), but the article history will remain in case anyone wants view it and consider it for the FICS article.

Article about a minor open source game with no [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] so [[WP:V|unverifiable]]. No evidence of [[WP:N|notability]]. Prod contested, so brought here for discussion. [[User:Sparthorse|Sparthorse]] ([[User talk:Sparthorse|talk]]) 20:05, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' per nominator.  I find no reviews for this on Google and no indication of meeting [[WP:N]] otherwise.

::Here's a review: http://chesshive.com/2011/08/raptor-chess-fics-desktop-client-for-mac/  Sorry if my indentation/editing of this talk page is incorrect. [[User:MartinMorrison|MartinMorrison]] ([[User talk:MartinMorrison|talk]]) 20:13, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

::Why do interfaces such as [[XBoard]],[[Pychess]] and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eboard_(chess) have Wikipedia pages? How can I give some evidence of notability that gives a level of credence to my Raptor page that the other interfaces have. There seems to be no special 'evidence' for the other interfaces other than a link to their development page/website - which I have given for Raptor. The other interfaces do not have reviews either?

:::Please read Wikipedia's [[WP:RS|guidelines on reliable sources]] which tell you that reliable sources are "reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy". I don't believe that Chesshive meets this standard as its a blog. As for the other articles, even if they don't meet Wikipedia's standards that does not mean this article is not required to. We treat each article independently. Thanks, [[User:Sparthorse|Sparthorse]] ([[User talk:Sparthorse|talk]]) 20:16, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

::::Is it okay if I flag the other pages for deletion then? [[User:MartinMorrison|MartinMorrison]] ([[User talk:MartinMorrison|talk]]) 20:19, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

:::::I've nominated [[XBoard]] and [[Eboard_(chess)|EBoard]], but [[Pychess]] has at least one reliable source. [[User:Sparthorse|Sparthorse]] ([[User talk:Sparthorse|talk]]) 20:21, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

::::::Would that be http://www.linux-magazin.de/Online-Artikel/Gewonnen-Trophees-du-Libre-2009 ? [[User:MartinMorrison|MartinMorrison]] ([[User talk:MartinMorrison|talk]]) 20:24, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

*'''Merge''' to [[Free Internet Chess Server]], which appears to be its only instantiation. [[User:Jclemens|Jclemens]] ([[User talk:Jclemens|talk]]) 00:39, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
::It would be a good idea to merge with that page. [[User:MartinMorrison|MartinMorrison]] ([[User talk:MartinMorrison|talk]]) 15:54, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' As the sole author/editor of the article and the editor who contested the PROD, [[User:MartinMorrison|MartinMorrison]], accepted the lack of notability and !voted delete, this could/should arguably be a PROD. [[User:Salvidrim|Salvidrim]] ([[User talk:Salvidrim|talk]]) 20:28, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
:::I think a merge makes more sense now. At least list the difference interfaces and their pros/cons on the [[Free Internet Chess Server]] page. [[User:MartinMorrison|MartinMorrison]] ([[User talk:MartinMorrison|talk]]) 15:55, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

*'''Merge''' I agree with Jclemens and MartinMorrison.--[[User:Kaspo|Kaspo]] ([[User talk:Kaspo|talk]]) 02:10, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
*'''Merge''' to [[Free Internet Chess Server#Interfaces]], where it is already mentioned. Since this appears to be the only server that uses this software, this looks a good location to merge the limited amount of additional material necessary.
