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:Swedish people by occupation and province

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Counties are the first-level subdivisions of Sweden and there is nothing differing writers from other occupations (actors, musicians, and sportspeople) making them to not follow the scheme of Category:Swedish people by county. The relation between provinces and counties is simplified in the proposal (at least one writer from Värmland is from the part of Värmland that is Örebro County et cetera) so it needs a manual overlook.

Category:NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament champions navigational boxes

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Per current consensus, these types of navboxes should not be made. This makes the category superfluous. — Jkudlick ⚓ (talk) 17:28, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People from Neunkirchen, Saarland, by occupation

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Subcategory with just one entry. Lost in Quebec (talk) 14:00, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Scottish ice hockey people by populated place

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: upmerge for now. only glasgow in here. SMasonGarrison 12:41, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:List-Class cricket articles of Unknown-importance

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: All List-Class cricket articles are assigned as Low-importance through the importance mask; thus no need for this category. Vestrian24Bio 10:11, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Arts set in Vienna

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: merge, seemingly duplicate category. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:11, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Dacia in art

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: delete, isolated sort of category (there is no other Former country in art category, as far as I can see) and the two articles are quite unrelated. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:18, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fictional characters from Chicopee, Massachusetts

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: upmerge. the only page in here is a film, not a character SMasonGarrison 03:12, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fiction by former country

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only one subcategory each. Marcocapelle (talk) 01:51, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
