Keep on a 1 minute check, I've added another article to the category, and am sure that other players from the team have articles, and so could be added. Deleting this and adding women to a category for the men's football team is incorrect, and inconsistent with all other women's football team categorisatoon.

Nominator's rationale: The categorised entities were more properly polities or states rather than chiefdoms (eg see Sharer & Traxler 2006 [The ancient Maya (6th ed.)] p. 73, Rice 2004 [Maya Political Science (1st ed.)] pp. 4-7). In addition, these polities were not of the Yucatan peninsula, but rather in said peninsula. Finally, they were Postclassic states, rather than Classic city-states (which also existed in the Yucatan peninsula, and so should be distinguished from the polities in this category). (

There are 22 subcategories in

Many historians, maybe a majority of our articles, work on the history of their native land, whether or not they are still there. They could all be categorised ethnically but it doesnt seem very useful. Better to categorise by subject they study which is easier to define and verify.
