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.

Discussion for Today

October 21

[edit]

NEW NOMINATIONS

[edit]

Category:Film production companies of Turkmenistan

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Category containing only a single redirect. Serves no navigational purpose. AusLondonder (talk) 16:21, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Groganville, Queensland

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Category containing only a main article about a locality with no population and a mine. Better categorised in the parent. AusLondonder (talk) 15:18, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Areas of Boston, England

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Consistency with title of article on the town PamD 15:14, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Lists of people by honor or award

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: To match parent Category:Honour and main article. AusLondonder (talk) 14:46, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Ambassadors of the United Kingdom to Cape Verde

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Category containing a single article for someone who served as a non-resident ambassador. Pointless and unhelpful for navigation. AusLondonder (talk) 14:41, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People from Wembley

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Previous consensus at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 March 11#People from London by locality and occupation was that this sub-categorisation is unnecessary and unhelpful. See also WP:OCLOCATION. AusLondonder (talk) 14:13, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People from Muswellbrook, New South Wales

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: To match parent category Category:Muswellbrook and renamed main article Muswellbrook. AusLondonder (talk) 14:04, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Nineveh

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: This is not a people category per WP:COPSEP. Subcat can then be added to Category:Archaeologists by region of study. --woodensuperman 12:56, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Albury, New South Wales

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Rename to match the main article Albury. While there are a number of very small towns and villages of the same name, none of these have categories and several of them have less than 100 residents. Albury is the overwhelmingly clear primary topic. AusLondonder (talk) 12:49, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Ardglen, New South Wales

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Category containing a main article and an article about a tunnel in the area, would be more suitably categorised in parent category. AusLondonder (talk) 12:38, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Greenethorpe, New South Wales

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Category containing a main article and an article about a historic homestead. Would be more helpful contained within the parent category. AusLondonder (talk) 12:25, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People from Privolzhsk

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Category containing a single article, unhelpful for navigation. AusLondonder (talk) 12:18, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People from Gaginsky District

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Category containing a single article, unhelpful for navigation. AusLondonder (talk) 12:14, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People from Mezhgorye, Republic of Bashkortostan

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Category containing a single article, unhelpful for navigation. AusLondonder (talk) 12:11, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Capital University of Medical Sciences

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Redundant category layer Mason (talk) 12:08, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:GMA Network personalities

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: "Personalities" is redundant with people. There is no reason to have this category which implies to cover "actors and singers" when "people" apply just fine. Hariboneagle927 (talk) 09:06, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:ABS-CBN personalities

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: "Personalities" is redundant with people. There is no reason to have this category which implies to cover "actors and singers" when "people" apply just fine. Hariboneagle927 (talk) 09:05, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fiction about sexuality

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: It was speedy renamed without discussion. Some articles are about Sexuality in fiction but they are not technically Fiction about sexuality. So my proposal is to include both cases, as the scope of this was never discussed officially (or did anyone talk about it anywhere?). Web-julio (talk) 06:08, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:LGBTQ and religion

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: No one in the last discussion considered consistency with the main article (Religion and LGBTQ people).

"LGBTQ" comes first following consistency with family tree, but that can change, observing this discussion. Web-julio (talk) 04:05, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
