Contested deletion

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because this is another nonsensical call, a number of claims of notability, including being a world champion! --PatGallacher (talk) 19:12, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because winning a world youth championship twice is surely an assertion of notability. --PatGallacher (talk) 20:41, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because subject is a talented chess player who achieved a strong result at age 14 and is likely to go on to further things. Credible chess news source (chessbase.com) was cited. MaxBrowne (talk) 21:10, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Beats Carlsen at age 12

According to this source, which includes a video of Vaishali herself corroborating the facts, she beat Magnus Carlsen when she was 12 in a simul that he held while visiting Chennai. I would include this in the article, but would like some other opinions on the acceptability of the source. Thanks, Crum375 (talk) 20:55, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Found a better source and added it to the article. Crum375 (talk) 22:43, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

R Vaishali → Vaishali Rameshbabu – This page used to be at Vaishali Rameshbabu. It was moved only because her brother's page was moved, even though this page was barely part of that discussion. Also at the time, Vaishali's name on her FIDE page was "Vaishali R". But since then, she changed her FIDE name to the full "Vaishali Rameshbabu", while her brother remains at "Praggnanandhaa R". In most cases, we set the page name on Wikipedia to be what it is on the FIDE website, so we should do that here. (From media sources, there is no clear preferred choice whether to abbreviate or not. Some abbreviate, others do not.) Sportsfan77777 (talk) 04:57, 1 August 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Waqar💬 15:17, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
