* Presumably ''just'' deleting guitarists by gender does not make too much sense. However, I really wonder why we would distinguish musicians by gender at all, except we should of course distinguish singers as (mezzo-)sopranos, tenors, baritones, basses, which usually coincides with gender.

**Distinguishing is useful in some encyclopedic fields, particularly history, [[music history]], [[gender studies]] and [[cultural anthropology]]. For Wikipedia which, as a general reference work, combines these fields it's equally useful. [[User:Brandmeister|Brandmeister]]<sup>[[User talk:Brandmeister|talk]]</sup> 17:34, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
*** On the other hand we also have [[WP:EGRS]] which - translated to this case - says that we shouldn't categorize by gender unless the intersection by gender is a notable topic in its own right. [[User:Marcocapelle|Marcocapelle]] ([[User talk:Marcocapelle|talk]]) 22:07, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
