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.

NEW NOMINATIONS

[edit]

Category:Wikipedians with an account on Archive of Our Own

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Rename to match the more common naming convention in Category:Wikipedians by website. Alternately delete since it's not clear how this category aids collaboration. * Pppery * it has begun... 13:54, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (as creator) but Rename to Category:Wikipedians who use Archive of Our Own so that it is broader and more inclusive of editors who use the website to interact in ways that do not necessarily involve contributing stories or creating an account. I don't see any issues with the category existing, personally. Fan fiction and fandom are broad topics with much legitimate coverage on the encyclopedia, and given AO3's position of significance as a major platform for fandom communities of all stripes, I think it is fair to have a category available for users to indicate their interest in the website and topics related to it. silviaASH (inquire within) 14:11, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Closed churches in New York City

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Overlapping categories. SMasonGarrison 13:13, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Jat clans of Sindh

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: upmerge for now. underpopulated category SMasonGarrison 13:11, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Muslim communities of Himachal Pradesh

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Redundant category layer SMasonGarrison 12:05, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Greco-Roman military historiography

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only the ancient Greek and ancient Roman subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:52, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Songs with lyrics by Rosa Lobato de Faria

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: All known entries are redirects, making this category currently redundant. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 10:00, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Canadian osteopathic physicians

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Only 1 entry. Also merge with Category:Canadian physicians LibStar (talk) 06:51, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Leprechauns

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: delete in the spirit of WP:C2F. The subcategory suffices. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:28, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Mythological kings of Sweden

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: merge, although some article texts suggest these kings are rooted in Norse mythology there is no evidence of that. The kings in the two categories have been mentioned by medieval sources suggesting it was real history, and we currently have no means to verify that information. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:14, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:State Wakf Board of India

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: rename, slightly expand the scope of the category so that the Central Waqf Council can also be added. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:32, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Fine with me, we should merge the child cats to this new cat as well. SMasonGarrison 12:02, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Christianization in India

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated category that doesn't seem very helpful for navigation. Upmerge for now SMasonGarrison 03:11, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Sunni Waqf Board of India

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: There's no need to isolate this page from the parent category. SMasonGarrison 03:07, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:List of Nadar people

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Not filled with lists, just individual pages. I'm not sure if merge or delete is better. SMasonGarrison 03:05, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Muslim communities of Jammu and Kashmir

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: underpoplated category. upmerge for now SMasonGarrison 03:02, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:List of Gujjar Muslim People

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: This is not a list, it's just individual people. SMasonGarrison 02:59, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Mosques in Southeast Asia

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: I don't think we really need to bundle these categories together. There's no need to isolate countries like this. All three of these categories were made by the same user. If not merged, then all the categories need to have sort keys and additional parents added. SMasonGarrison 02:49, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Khasi muslim people

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: underpopulated category, that might be a non-defining intersection of ethnicity and religion. SMasonGarrison 02:46, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Cities in fiction

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only one subcategory each. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:31, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Lean oppose. Do all of these categories reflect "culture in" those places? If I set a novel in Berlin, or Washington, D.C., but I don't live there, I'm not sure it would be "culture in" either of those places. The existing titles look better to me, since they don't say anything about where the fiction was written or whether it constitutes "culture". P Aculeius (talk) 12:59, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:State funerals in Vatican City

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: There is no difference with Category:Funerals in Vatican City. Normal funerals would take place in Italy, and none of the pope-related articles are treated as state funerals. (CC) Tbhotch™ 05:45, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Disney Channels Worldwide original programming

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Disney Channels Worldwide was renamed anyway so you could technically rename it to CategoryDisney Branded Television original programming, but this seems to be a suiting name. RanDom 404 (talk) 16:59, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Hispanophobia and subcats

[edit]
Nominator's rationale The term "Hispanophobia" is vague and often refers to anti-Spanish sentiment specifically or perhaps to racism against all Hispanics/Spanish-speakers, but does not include all Latinos such as Brazilians or non-Spanish speaking Indigenous peoples of Latin America. It is both broader and more specific to say "anti-Hispanic and Latino American/Latino". A lot of the racism in the US is against Latinos anyway and not necessarily against Spaniards. For the main category I suggested "Hispanic and Latin American" rather than "Hispanic and Latino", because Latino is more of a US-centric word and isn't used as heavily in other places like Canada.

Category:Films about Brazilian military dictatorship

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: "Films about Brazilian military dictatorship" is not grammatically correct, and the similar category for Chile has "the" in the title.--JPHC2003 (talk) 01:15, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Category was not tagged; I will do so. If there are no further comments we will be all set for renaming.
