See Wikipedia:Categories for deletion policies for the official rules of this page, and how to do cleanup.

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

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.
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.)
Please read the Wikipedia:Categorization of people policy if nominating or voting on a people-related category.
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.
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
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.
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).
Sign any listing or vote you make by typing ~~~~ after your text.
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.

April 2

NEW NOMINATIONS

Category:People from Heerlen by occupation

Propose merging Category:People from Heerlen by occupation to Category:People from Heerlen

Nominator's rationale: Also propose merging-

All subcategories with just 1 or 2 entries. Lost in Quebec (talk) 13:14, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Journalism controversies by media organ

Propose renaming Category:Journalism controversies by media organ to Category:Journalism controversies by news outlet

Nominator's rationale: The proper term in this realm is "news outlet", which is a widely used umbrella term that covers the entire range of news sources - print, broadcast, online, etc. Whereas "media organ" is little used, and doesn't even specify "news". Anomalous+0 (talk) 10:40, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Not all journalism is news (e.g. The New Yorker). Not all media organs are primarily or exclusively news-focused (e.g. the BBC). jnestorius^(talk) 11:40, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Roman legendary creatures

Propose renaming Category:Roman legendary creatures to Category:Creatures in Roman mythology

Nominator's rationale: rename aligning with article Roman mythology and parent Category:Characters in Roman mythology. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:05, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure that "legendary" is the best formulation, but I think this category is intended to include only fantastic creatures, not animals of any kind. Mythology is full of ordinary creatures (horses, cattle, snakes, ants, eagles, etc.), but I don't think that's what this category is meant to consist of. The proposed name would include them all, so unless that's the intention of this change, it should not be made. P Aculeius (talk) 13:00, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Legendary creatures in classical mythology

Propose renaming Category:Legendary creatures in classical mythology to Category:Creatures in classical mythology

Nominator's rationale: rename for brevity. "Legendary" is redundant in combination with "in mythology". Marcocapelle (talk) 06:02, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
