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.

Nomination withdrawn.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.

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? --
