I don't think Eric is particularly notable. There are 3700 IM's, so that doesn't do it for me. He clearly fails WP:NCHESS, but even going by the general notabilty guidelines, there's simply no significant coverage of him. Something like an interview would establish it right away, but that doesn't seem to exist. And as a YouTuber or Twitch streamer he's pretty niche.

- Being among 3700 or any other number of something does not necessarily render one non-notable at all. Failing
WP:NCHESS also does not equal deletion, this is stated in the actual guidline. Finally, I was able to find coverage about Eric Rosen through a simple search and ultimately find no reason to remove this article.

- Right, but we are looking for significant coverage. If the coverage is simple reporting (like he played in a recent tournament, and it reports which games he won/lost, alongside everyone else in the tournament) that's considered a passing mention and isn't enough. And putting "Eric Rosen Chess" into Google News doesn't bring up anything other than that. Brightgalrs (/braɪtˈɡæl.ərˌɛs/) [ᴛ] 15:46, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

- Delete per nom. The appropriately named Trivia section claims he beat the world champion "at least twice" online, but youtube and reddit are hardly reliable sources. Nothing else even remotely makes him notable. Clarityfiend ( talk) 20:30, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

- 20,000 followers [1]. The term "significant cult following" is used under the "entertainer" subheading on the general notability guide [2], which is exactly how I would describe Eric's viewership. Are the sufficient / necessary conditions for a "significant cult following" stated explicitly anywhere? Capogreco ( talk) 15:55, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
- The best way to know if Rosen meets the cut is if you can find a reliable source that describes him as having a significant cult following.
