Deletion of a category may mean that the articles and images in it are directly put in its parent category, or that another subdivision of the parent category is made. If they are already members of more suitable categories, it may also mean that they become a member of one category less.

How to use this page

[edit]
  1. Know if the category you are looking at needs deleting (or to be created). If it is a "red link" and has no articles or subcategories, then it is already deleted (more likely, it was never really created in the first place), and does not need to be listed here.
  2. Read and understand Wikipedia:Categorization before using this page. Nominate categories that violate policies here, or are misspelled, mis-capitalized, redundant/need to be merged, not NPOV, small without potential for growth, or are generally bad ideas. (See also Wikipedia:Naming conventions and Wikipedia:Manual of Style.)
  3. Please read the Wikipedia:Categorization of people policy if nominating or voting on a people-related category.
  4. Unless the category to be deleted is non-controversial – vandalism or a duplicate, for example – please do not depopulate the category (remove the tags from articles) before the community has made a decision.
  5. Add {{cfd}} to the category page for deletion. (If you are recommending that the category be renamed, you may also add a note giving the suggested new name.) This will add a message to it, and also put the page you are nominating into Category:Categories for deletion. It's important to do this to help alert people who are watching or browsing the category.
    1. Alternately, use the rename template like this: {{cfr|newname}}
    2. If you are concerned with a stub category, make sure to inform the WikiProject Stub sorting
  6. Add new deletion candidates under the appropriate day near the top of this page.
    1. Alternatively, if the category is a candidate for speedy renaming (see Wikipedia:Category renaming), add it to the speedy category at the bottom.
  7. Make sure you add a colon (:) in the link to the category being listed, like [[:Category:Foo]]. This makes the category link a hard link which can be seen on the page (and avoids putting this page into the category you are nominating).
  8. Sign any listing or vote you make by typing ~~~~ after your text.
  9. Link both categories to delete and categories to merge into. Failure to do this will delay consideration of your suggestion.

Special notes

[edit]

Some categories may be listed in Category:Categories for deletion but accidently not listed here.

NEW NOMINATIONS

[edit]

Eponymous categories with only a "Works by" subcategory

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: The eponymous parent is just a redundant and unnecessary layer to the "works by" subcategory each of these hold since none contain anything else but its main eponymous article. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 15:51, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all per WP:OCEPON and WP:CATWORKS. --woodensuperman 16:05, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

English comedians by county and populated place

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: All contain 1-2 subcategories. Redundant category layers. Not useful for navigation. WP:NARROW. –Aidan721 (talk) 13:42, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wanessa Camargo

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: WP:OCEPON --woodensuperman 13:33, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Rivers of Vanua Levu

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: WP:NARROW. Not useful for navigation to diffuse content for the smaller island of Fiji. –Aidan721 (talk) 12:10, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Drummers from San Antonio

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Category with just two entries. Also merge to Category: Drummers from Texas. Lost in Quebec (talk) 10:30, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Entertainers from Bowling Green, Kentucky

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Subcategory with just one entry. Lost in Quebec (talk) 10:00, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also propose merging-

All subcategories with three or less entries.Lost in Quebec (talk) 10:15, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Three is sufficient and small cat is depreciated. SMasonGarrison 13:20, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Education in 6th of October (city)

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: This is the only subcategory in target, and it only houses two subcats of its own. Seems like a redundant layer to me. Did also house Nile University, but I removed that because it's in a different city. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 03:43, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Puerto Rico Statehood Students Association alumni

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Norm is member, not alumni for organization members SMasonGarrison 03:27, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Māori and Pacific Island scientists

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: I think that this should be renamed per c2c New Zealand Māori people by occupation, but I'm not sure that it's clear cut. SMasonGarrison 01:23, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Mongolian sportspeople by populated place

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Dual upmerge for now. There's only one category in here, which isn't helpful for navigation SMasonGarrison 01:09, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per nominator.Lost in Quebec (talk) 09:07, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
