- Nominator's rationale: The current "an" makes it hard to find this category through the search bar. There is no problem with putting the plural in the title like Category:Mayors of places in France (and every other country), it does not make the reader think that the mayor was in charge of more than one place.

- The result of the discussion was: Moved to an RfC. I withdraw my nomination of this category since a wider RfC is needed. Please follow up on this at Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#RfC:_Categorise_male_footballers_in_the_same_way_that_we_categorise_female_footballers. Mike Peel ( talk) 20:47, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: The category seems to have separated male and female football players into different categories, but has kept male footballers as the main category. Suggest moving most articles to Category:Swiss male footballers to match the female subcategory. Mike Peel ( talk) 21:20, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
- Comment - this is standard for all countries, I believe. Moreover there is no Category:Male footballers. Oculi ( talk) 01:12, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

- Oppose - this needs wider discussion at WT:FOOTBALL, and further to consensus at this CfD which overwhelmingly said such categories should not be split. Giant Snowman 12:19, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- Comment responses at the English footballers CfD opposed a split of one country's category, but supported discussion about splitting Category:Association football players. TSventon ( talk) 13:37, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- Can we split all the footballer categories into male and female? They are operationally speaking seperate sports, as far as I understand it. This works for actors and actresses. Rathfelder ( talk) 15:04, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

- Delete as an inappropriate eponymous category. People merely being associated with some character (whether real, legendary, or entirely fictional) is not sufficient grounds for an eponymous category, and categories shouldn't be genealogical trees either... There are otherwise no sub-topic articles about the eponymous subject which could possibly justify an eponymous category (unlike, with, say, the exception that proves the rule, Category:Albert Einstein, or any other highly-notable figure [which this is clearly not]).

Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:OCEPON, the relevant articles are about the Book of Esther and already part of Category:Book of Esther or Category:Paintings of Esther. We do not need an eponymous category of someone who was not even the main character in a relatively small book. Marcocapelle ( talk) 08:42, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

- Apart from what has been mentioned before there are Artaxerxes II and Xerxes I in the category but "Ahasueras" is not a defining characteristic of them. They are very well known among historians as Persian kings and the fact that they are mentioned by biblical scholars as a possible identification with Ahasueras is completely trivial to these kings.

- Keep -- Look at the main article which refers to several biblical books. The question of how to identify the Biblical Ahasuerus with Persian kings whom we know better by the Greek versions of their names may be a matter of scholastic controversy, which cannot be addressed through a category. Peterkingiron ( talk) 16:27, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:OVERLAPCAT and WP:SMALLCAT. Every article that should be included in this is already logically in Category:Book of Esther, and the others are hypothetical identities which shouldn't be included in either (as they are not DEFCAT); thus leaving only a few articles, not enough to justify a dedicated sub-category.
