Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of chess historians
We have a :category:chess historians|category for this too and, per , this tends to confirm that there's a valid need for navigational aids here.  There was a newsletter for a while - ''The Chess Historian''  — and there are various people celebrated as major historians of the game such as Edward Winter (chess historian).  There's perhaps some scope with merger with the similar concept of the :category:chess writers|chess writer but that's a matter of ordinary editing, not deletion
