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:Scholars of Precolonial East Africa

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: merge per actual content, the articles are all about Ethiopians. Note that the term "pre-colonial" is pretty meaningless in Ethiopia, apart from a brief occupation by Italy they were an independent country. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:50, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 04:37, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:January 2025 sports events in Bahrain

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: This is the only Bahrain sport by month category for 2025. Not useful for navigation at this point in time. –Aidan721 (talk) 04:31, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Cruz families

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: There are two Cruz families with categories, in different countries. I propose renaming them by country. The Philippines one could also be Category:Cruz family (show business). Mike Selinker (talk) 04:14, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fürstenberg (princely family)

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: We don't use "princely family" on any other category. This family is tricky to rename because the category description notes there are two noble families titled with Prince (Fürst) or Baron (Freiherr). The article is at House of Fürstenberg (Swabia) so that's probably an okay name for this category. Mike Selinker (talk) 04:12, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:April 2025 sports events in the Solomon Islands

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Both categories for merging contain the same one article. Not useful for navigation. –Aidan721 (talk) 04:08, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:March 2025 sports events in Morocco

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Both categories for merging contain the same one article. Not useful for navigation. –Aidan721 (talk) 04:04, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:April 2025 sports events in Ivory Coast

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Both contain the same one article. Not useful for navigation. Merge per WP:NARROW. –Aidan721 (talk) 03:53, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Institutions of medieval Scotland

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: parent is Organisations based in Scotland SMasonGarrison 03:29, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Tochigi Prefecture railway station stubs

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Only contains the stub template and is not necessary. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 02:16, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Iwate-railstation-stub

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: I've moved the only station tagged with the stub template out of the stub quality by improving it. This template is no longer needed. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 02:07, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People from Walnut Creek, California, by occupation

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary subcategory. Has only category in it. Lost in Quebec (talk) 01:45, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Upmerge to Category:People from Walnut Creek, California, don't delete. That would isolate the cateogry SMasonGarrison 03:30, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
