It's down there (and should be down there) because it doesnt even hold any significant meta game relevancy along with the fact theres much better means to handle all of the stuff it supposably checks. Packing more resistances than Rotom-W is relevant to what resistances would actually be useful. The only way Rotom-H breaks down a Clefable is through its Snatch set and after that I'm pretty positive every other relevant fairy has the means to beat it, and if it's not Snatch Rotom-H then that's a CM Clefs win in the long run. M-Diancie destroys it, M-Gard isn't gonna exactly care, Azu can just pick it off with band Jet. Walling Char-Y doesnt seem like a good niche when it's gonna take a good amount from Focus Blast and Rocks every time it comes in along with the fact every average team has enough tools to pressure a Zard-Y, really isn't that difficult. Are we talking a bulky Rotom-H or a speedy one? because your list of what it checks, some of these are not as serious as you make it, contradicts each other as you can't be implying both at once. Rotom-H is weak to a lot of common stuff outside of just maybe the 3 or so you mentioned. I think you're also taking for granted the idea of what's in those same ranks when those are either garbage that they should drop in the future or don't have much meta relevancy either outside of niche uses where a huge argument wouldn't be necessary. I don't think Rotom-H should be in the same boat as the majority of C+ stuff.
Before the theorymonners of OU Forum flood just know this isn't a starting point for people to suggest dropping lower rank stuff there's already a ton of stuff that'll probably be changing and no need to go all crazy.
