* OK, I don't see consensus to delete the category. Do we have consensus to change the name to "Chess players sanctioned for cheating"? Though this doesn't quite work for Rausis. Matulovic is another name that springs to mind. [[User:MaxBrowne2|MaxBrowne2]] ([[User talk:MaxBrowne2|talk]]) 10:29, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

**Following the pattern of [[:Category:Sportspeople involved in betting scandals]], it could be [[:Category:Chess players involved in cheating scandals]]. —[[User:BarrelProof|BarrelProof]] ([[User talk:BarrelProof|talk]]) 15:10, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

***Sorry, I am traveling, cannot contribute as promptly as I would like. I was going to say something like what [[User:BarrelProof]] just said. [[User:Bruce leverett|Bruce leverett]] ([[User talk:Bruce leverett|talk]]) 04:25, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

*'''Delete''': I agree with Quale and MaxBrowne, unnecessary category, many cheaters won't get Wikipedia articles. [[User:Sophia91|Sophia91]] ([[User talk:Sophia91|talk]]) 15:07, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

**Categories are not intended to be comprehensive of less notable entries, as with all of Wikipedia. —[[User:BarrelProof|BarrelProof]] ([[User talk:BarrelProof|talk]]) 15:10, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

**I agree that there will be uneven coverage of this topic. I also thought of:

:::"John von Neumann"" -- the incident would be considered notable (covered in the press and everybody remembers it), but the guy was not (what was his name?).

:::Kramnik vs. Topalov WC match 2006 -- notable enough to be mentioned in [[Vladimir Kramnik]] and [[Veselin Topalov]], although in all likelihood no cheating occurred. Equally implausible accusations occurred during the 1972 and 1978 WC matches. [[User:Bruce leverett|Bruce leverett]] ([[User talk:Bruce leverett|talk]]) 04:25, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
