Links from this kind of site could be useful. I don't know if there are any RHP references on the link provided.
Yes, possibly. If someone with more spare time than I wishes to trawl the net for references to RHP, or generate some new references, it might put us over the hurdle.

Many of these are just links, but they all share the factor of not being RedHotPawn sites.

Well said with corollary applications to many other facets of internet websites at this time its maturation cycle. Why, you ask? Because winning rather than losing in context is defined by respecting and accepting the authority of site policy and the published ground rules of participation. That's why.

Some references supplied by Kewpie and Russ have been added to the article and it has been re-submitted. We are awaiting the Wiki editors' verdict.

Update 30 Sept 2015: the latest re-write incorporating further references (as listed above) has also been rejected. The reason given is: "This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability—" Sorry, Russ, I can't make RHP more "notable". Even the NYT reference wasn't convincing enough.

At least we are now listed there:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_venue#Venues_.28who_and_where_to_play.29

Edit: I was alerted that the link won't work (it does for me). What should work is:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_venue

you can scrol down until you find RedHotPawn.com or search it with ctrl+F

Actually Redhotpawn forums provide the source for some points mentuioned in the Wikipedia:

e.g. Camus played as goalkeeper for Racing Universitaire d'Alger (RUA won both the North African Champions Cup and the North African Cup twice each in the 1930s) junior team from 1928 to 1930.[12] from Thread 2803
