Umakant Sharma

This is clearly WP:1EVENT. While the incident is clearly notable, the person is not. I propose redirecting it to Cheating in chess. The section there covers this incident near verbatim and also provides a much better historical context of cheating in chess and other similar high profile incidents. This article was nominated for AfD in 2007 just a few days after its creation. While there was no consensus, a lot of editors felt the need to delete or merge it. Cheating in chess was essentially created in response to this AfD and this incident. While the article then just basically covered this incident and was a stub, now it has much better content due to other high profile incidents since then. One can also note that nearly all other people with wikilink in that article are notable in their own right: normally by being current or former Grandmasters, while Umakant Sharma never held any title nor is currently even rated.

 * Redirect Target Cheating_in_chess. There's already a long para on him. Better to redirect there. (Also, someone please maybe trim that para. Wasn't a very high profile case, nor was he ever a high profile player) - hako9 (talk) 07:42, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Cheating in chess per Hako9. He does have a fairly significant mention on the page but otherwise is a WP:BLP1E. Tayi Arajakate  Talk 09:46, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
