Nomination by MrsHudson
I would like to nominate Judit Polgár and Ashot Nadanian articles for A-class. I believe they are good enough. What do you think? --MrsHudson (talk) 21:00, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Review by SunCreator

Possible. For Judit Polgár the Illustrative games section is unreferenced. For Ashot Nadanian the notable games is poorly referenced and there is no reason to believe they are 'notable' as such. Also why is the Washington Post excerpt not a WP:COPYVIO. Regards, SunCreator (talk) 13:08, 21 October 2010 (UTC) Polgar's notable games are placed in the relevant section of her chessgames.com page. So they are probably notable. As for Nadanian, only the Bologan game is in the "Notable games" section of chessgames.com. But the Wu Shaobin game is well-known and has been published in several places, in particular in the "Genius in the Background" book by Karolyi. The game with Gurgenidze was published with Nadanian's annotations in chessville.com and he considers it as "one of my most memorable". Not sure about copivio (Washington Post). Looks OK to me, as it's just a small excerpt and author's name is mentioned. --MrsHudson (talk) 13:49, 21 October 2010 (UTC) I have fixed the problem with notable games in both articles. --MrsHudson (talk) 18:12, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Review by SyG

I checked the external links and found no problem. SyG (talk) 13:00, 28 December 2010 (UTC) Would it be possible to give more background on his family ? Has he sisters or brothers ? What was the profession of his parents ? Just a bit of context... SyG (talk) 13:51, 28 December 2010 (UTC) Would it be possible to know if his opening inventions have impacted chess ? I mean, are there reputable champions that use the Nadanian invention, or is it just a self-inflicted pain ? I think the notability is different. SyG (talk) 14:25, 28 December 2010 (UTC) Unfortunately I could not find any information about his parents, sisters or brothers. There are plenty of articles and analysis devoted to Nadanian Variation and it has been played by world-class players such as Viktor Korchnoi, Bu Xiangzhi, Walter Browne, Smbat Lputian... Regards, --MrsHudson (talk) 14:54, 28 December 2010 (UTC) I have viewed the article once again and with the additions you have done I think it is fine, so I support A-class.

Review by I Do Care
Support. I have contributed a bit to the article. It has had an amazing improvement thanks to MrsHudson. After the copyediting by SyG, there seems to be little left to change. I Do Care (talk) 11:48, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Conclusion by SyG
All remarks and concerns expressed by the reviewers have been dealt with appropriately. More than three approvals have been gathered (Yegishe, SyG, I Do Care). So I shall close this review and pass the article to A-class. SyG (talk) 14:15, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
