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

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

[edit]

NEW NOMINATIONS

[edit]

Category:Tbilisi in fiction

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only one subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:13, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Quezon City in fiction

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only one subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:08, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Iași in fiction

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: delete, not a very defining characteristic of the only article in the category. The article is already in Category:Novels set in Romania. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:17, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Battles involving the Maratha Confederacy

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Per the recent move on Talk:Maratha Confederacy#Requested move 17 April 2025. Shakakarta (talk) 15:13, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Casablanca in fiction

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only one subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:40, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Azerbaijani music stubs

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated stub category, with no evidence of approval by WikiProject Stub sorting. As always, stub categories are not free for any editor to create at will for just a small handful of topics -- the minimum bar for the creation of a stub category is 60 articles, and for that reason stub categories have to be proposed to the Wikiproject for approval before they can be created. But there's no evidence that the creator of this ever followed that process, and there are just four articles here -- and while Category:Azerbaijani people stubs does have some musician templates, those aren't on enough people to get this over 60 pages even if they were modified to add the people here. Bearcat (talk) 14:25, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Mythological kings of Denmark

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: rename per List of legendary kings of Denmark, similar to Category:Semi-legendary kings of Sweden. This is unrelated to Norse mythology. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:03, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Burials in Nigeria

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: delete, the category tree is meant to contain subcategories with cemeteries and other burial places, but there are only biographies in here. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:22, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Journalism conferences

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated category that I wasn't able to populate. Upmerge for now. SMasonGarrison 03:24, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Vadodara district geography stubs

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: There are less than 60 transclusions for this template (as of right now) - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 02:25, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Ethnic Hungarian people

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: redundant category layer that overlaps with Hungarian diaspora SMasonGarrison 02:59, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Palestinian people of Syrian descent

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: The subcat is probably about to be renamed without "Syrian", see Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2025_April_6#Category:Palestinian_people_of_Syrian-Assyrian_descent. That will leave Lana Albeik who is already categorised within Category:Emirati people of Palestinian descent and Category:Emirati people of Syrian descent, which are more accurate; even if she identifies as Palestinian, she is currently also within other Palestinian categories. IMHO she should also be removed from "Syrian" categories including Category:Syrian people of Palestinian descent. – Fayenatic London 21:44, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
