The result of the discussion was: withdrawn (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 14:27, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. Pointless category that has been and still is subject to serious misuse because very few of its articles are defined in any way as cowboys, cowgirls, ranchers, cattlemen, trail drivers, etc. The vast majority of Westerns have little to do with cattle and these characters should be included in the genre characters category. No one can possibly describe a character like the Man with No Name as a cowboy. Really, because of misuse and ignorance of WP:CATDEF, this category would probably run down to zero or at best to WP:SMALLCAT and so be deleted anyway.

  • Keep. The Man with No Name is no longer part of this category, but characters like Hopalong Cassidy, Jessie, Johnny West, Sheriff Woody, and Yosemite Sam—all of whom can be clearly defined as cowboys or cowgirls—are. It's unlikely to grow too significantly (mostly due to the lack of new Western media), but I see no reason for this category to be deleted or merged. – Rhain ☔ 11:41, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nomination withdrawn. On second thoughts, I can see a use for this as a sub-category. The real issue is the lack of other suitable sub-cats, particularly one for fictional gunfighters. Could someone please close the case? Thanks. No Great Shaker (talk) 12:36, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Sports in Fairfield County, Connecticut. bibliomaniac15 05:03, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. Contains only 1 article (which is up for deletion) and a category for sportspeople. User:Namiba 19:31, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - seems to have five articles and a category now. Grutness...wha? 15:02, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Two of the five are up for deletion and look as if they will soon be deleted.--User:Namiba 13:03, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Update: One article was redirected and another is waiting for a close with the same result.--User:Namiba 10:50, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Seems populated enough to be no SMALLCAT. --Just N. (talk) 21:01, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge Still too small to justify splitting out of a not overly large by place category.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:28, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Marcocapelle (talk) 08:19, 28 August 2021 (UTC) [reply]
I am fine with renaming and expanding.--User:Namiba 12:50, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I will never understand that people count subcats with dozens of elements just as one entry. Is it just a trick of vision or a non-logoc attuned attitude? --Just N. (talk) 19:32, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • It only matters how many articles in the subcategory if the subcategory is nominated for SMALLCAT. That is not the case here. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:32, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
