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:Deadly fungi consumed as a food

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: WP:NARROWCAT: is this intersection really helpful? Currently contains only one article; I can find no more entries in the parent categories which could fit here. Caeciliusinhorto-public (talk) 12:26, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Comic poets

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Current name is confusing. While in classical scholarship these are often called simply "comic poets" and the fact that they are ancient Greek is assumed from context, in a general encyclopedia it's not obvious that this category should solely be for ancient Greek writers. Periodically comic poets who are not ancient Greek are wrongly put in this category, which is part of Category:Ancient Greek comedy and Category:Ancient Greek poets by genre. (See today here and here which gave me the motivation to actually start this discussion, but it's a problem I've seen before). Caeciliusinhorto-public (talk) 12:14, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:FIFA World Cup stadiums

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: This is textbook WP:OCVENUE which states Avoid categorizing locations by the events or event types that have been held there, such as arenas that have hosted specific sports events. I don't think the guideline could be any clearer. --woodensuperman 09:43, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Establishments in the Grand Duchy of Hesse

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: merge, except in 1869 these are all one- and two-article categories, which is not helpful for navigation. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:47, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Mission Indians

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: purge and selectively merge, this category contains very few articles which are really about Mission Indians, most articles are about current tribes in California some of whose ancestors were Mission Indians. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:43, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Commercial buildings in Egypt categories

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NARROWCAT, all should be upmerged to Commercial buildings in Egypt. voorts (talk/contributions) 04:20, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Decorating

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Contains only one article; possible duplicate of Category:Decorative arts QuantumFoam66 (talk) 01:40, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Romani people in art

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: It only has just one article, it might be merged into some other category but I can't think of anything right now. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 01:38, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Plantations in the Danish West Indies

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: WP:CATNAME
This is just a truth in advertising nomination since all 43 articles in this category are specifically sugar planations. The Danish version of the Triangular trade focused on this single crop. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:55, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
