usually people consider mathematicians as scientists

Yikes!

... Wait, does this mean I can call a historian an artist? Then I'm game.

You can call them whatever you want, what are they going to do? They're historians!

In twenty years time they'll rip into me on r/askhistorians

Historians are scientists imo. Is that a reference I don't have?

Usually (in my experience?) history is one of the 'humanities', which are more lumped with arts than sciences.

Yes it usually is, but I think the methodologies for modern history research is very much scientific.
