Clefairy doesn't exactly beat stuff like Pawniard.
I don't want to call out people, so take this as a suggestion and reminder for other posters too.
I know that we are suggesting to add every set that is nearly viable on this role compendium, but no need really to post weird things such as Swords Dance Leavanny, or at least if you do, post it along with a motivation or proof that shows it is actually borderline viable, especially since Leavanny is mainly known for its niche as a Sticky Web user and not for being that great of sweeper.
Also no need in continuously saying to remove Togetic, other users already pointed it out and I think Magnemite got it and will proceed to edit as soon as he can.

add aurorus to choice specs user
Considering that Fraxure is the only DD user, add it to "other sweepers" imo
floatzel to fire checks and maybe basculin too (I understand not simi since slower/speed ties with 2/3 but at least float)
simisear to nasty plot
politoed to fire checks
shedinja to water/electric checks? idr it being c and it might be a special case but yeah
zebra in flying checks
CM clef is a stallbreaker right? so is vanilluxe
no idea if chlorophyll tangela deserves weather sweeper, someone who's used it should confirm, but maybe
carbink and meowstic can set weather, at least the first
Golduck sets its own weather too
idk how good scarf simisage and scarf rap are but maybe. Scarf chatot definitely should be added though
Choice band: Relicanth, gabite, basculin, maybe klang
ask Anty if specs mime is good enough for role compendium but it's scary from experience facing it
SD lickilicky (again ask anty if it's good enough but probably is)

Machoke and Monferno for Priority users, the former has Bullet Punch, the latter has Mach Punch
This should probably be updated with the smasher ban to not confuse newer players
Mag when/if you are able to add
Murkrow to Priority Users and maybe CM
Kingler to Swords Dance,Agility/Rock Polish,Scarf,Band? tbh don't know what is good on this thing just know ive seen it with all of those.
Relicanth to Wall Breakers,Weather Sweepers, Fire/Normal/Flying checks
Gabite to Stealth Rock, Fire/Electric Checks
Volbeat/Huntail to Priority Users
Electabuzz to Flying/Electric Checks and maybe Specs/Scarf
Suggestions-
Maybe add Volt/Turn+Baton Pass into a single column called Pivot
Maybe put Wish,Healing Wish,Heal Bell/Aromatherapy into a single column called Support Moves.
Edit-Taking out suggestions that have already been made by previous people
