:''The result of the discussion was:'' <!-- Template:Cfd top --> '''keep'''. There is no support for deleting these specific categories. The more general issue of occupation-based categories split by genders is beyond the scope of this single CfD, but an RfC about their usefulness may be in order. Regardless, there is consensus to keep these categories. <small>[[Wikipedia:NACD|(non-admin closure)]]</small> [[User:DannyS712|DannyS712]] ([[User talk:DannyS712|talk]]) 00:53, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

**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)
