[edit]Looking into this match a bit more, I don't think this was a World Championship match in even an unofficial capacity. This source states they were going to plan an official match in London after Graf proved to be competitive in this one, but it never happened. If it's not a WWC match, then I would just suggest it for deletion. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 14:50, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
- Though FIDE has been around since 1924, organizing the World Chess Championship as the official governing body for chess came only with the two Interregnum of World Chess Champions that lasted from 1946 (when Alexander Alekhine died) until 1948, when Mikhail Botvinnik won a FIDE-held chess tournament to decide on a successor. Women's World Chess Championship was essentially the same way, with Vera Menchik's death in 1944, until 1950, when Lyudmila Rudenko won a FIDE-held chess tournament to decide on a successor. Since then, FIDE has been organizing the events with universal recognition. Deleting this article means deleting every chess championship article that took place before 1948. So I have to oppose this article's deletion for that very reason. Best, --Discographer (talk) 17:58, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
- No, I meant just this match, not any of the others that were actual World Championship matches or the actual Women's World Championship tournaments. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 20:54, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
- Like the article's reference shows, this was an actual women's world chess championship match. --Discographer (talk) 21:06, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
- Do you have a better source? Why do you think it was an actual world championship match? Sportsfan77777 (talk) 08:00, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
- My reasonings have been stated. A better source is not what's needed. The real question is why are you seeking to delete a long-standing world chess championship article? --Discographer (talk) 09:16, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

- If that's true, delete it then. Best, --Discographer (talk) 10:26, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
