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]

Category:Thompson-Nicola Regional District geography stubs

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Too few transclusions for its own category - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 18:07, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Cities in Belarus

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: No city/town distinction in Belarus, see List of cities and towns in Belarus and the assignment to the two category is rather arbitrary on wikipedians' whims. --Altenmann >talk 16:12, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Oregon Superintendents for Indian Affairs

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Pluralized leadership positions (such as superintendents and applicable portfolios) should be lowercase to align with MOS:JOBTITLES. Woko Sapien (talk) 15:05, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Argentine virologists

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Only 1 entry. Also merge with Category:Argentine physicians.

Also nominating for merge:

LibStar (talk) 12:13, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Cities in fiction

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only one subcategory each, and it is odd to have this in the "culture in city" tree as is currently the case for most of these cities. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:46, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Sofia Mestari songs

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Only one known entry, which is itself a redirect, making this category effectively redundant. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 10:05, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Secondary school honor society founders

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: upmerge for now. underpopulated category SMasonGarrison 04:28, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or Merge: WP:FRAT is just beginning to work on this and identified the need. But for now it can upmerge. Rublamb (talk) 14:56, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
