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.

Discussion for Today

November 10

[edit]

NEW NOMINATIONS

[edit]

Category:Organisations based in Latvia by city

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer, only contains the capital Riga. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:12, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Film scores by composer

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: The current name does not reflect the category’s content. It includes articles about films only, not about scores or soundtracks. The current state also creates issues with transitivity. Solidest (talk) 10:55, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Gardening books

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: I suggest renaming to use 'about', per parent Category:Works about gardening. This variant is more clear. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:47, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]
Nominator's rationale: merge, only two articles in the category, this is not helpful for navigation. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:04, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:1954–55 Montreal Canadiens season

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: I could not find any other example of a professional sports team season getting its own category in any of the Northern American major leagues. There seems to be no other examples of a category being made for this even under similar circumstances (e.g. the Vancouver Canucks where all three of their finals appearances have the loosely-related articles of Towel Power (1982), 1994 Stanley Cup riot, and 2011 Stanley Cup riot). It is inconsistent and seems to fail WP:OVERCAT. RedBlueGreen93 08:01, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Translators of the Quran into Somali

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: underpopulated category. 2x merge for now SMasonGarrison 02:57, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:January 2005 events in Puntland

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Convert into the broader country rather than the state SMasonGarrison 02:38, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Death in Mogadishu

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Wikipedia:Overcategorization#Intersection by location. Also, there is only one page here, which isn't helpful for navigation. SMasonGarrison 02:33, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Mogadishu Central Prison

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: There is one page about an event here; there is not even an eponymous page Mogadishu Central Prison SMasonGarrison 02:29, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Astronomy research agencies in the Antarctic

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Merge for now. Narrow underpopulated category. SMasonGarrison 02:18, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Deaths in the French colonial empire

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Redundant category layer SMasonGarrison 02:00, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Animal deaths in Ohio

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Isolated category. There's only one state like this, it's not helpful for navigation SMasonGarrison 01:58, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Suicides in the United States by location

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. These categories would be more helpful in the parent category SMasonGarrison 01:56, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:State urban development authorities of India

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Of the 64 articles in the category, only 7 are state authorities. The rest are a mixture of city, town and metropolitan area authorities. It would make the category name more accurate by removing the "State" identifier Gedrose (talk) 01:19, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:American slave trade

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Seems to cover the same scope BaduFerreira (talk) 20:41, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lean oppose. Per Marco Procedurally, the merge target is too broad. SMasonGarrison 02:01, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Important Cultural Properties of Obama City

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Unhelpful for navigation. There's not a Obama City parent category SMasonGarrison 14:26, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Sounds like a good solution to me SMasonGarrison 02:05, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Kenton, Devon

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Category containing only the main article and an article about a historic property, better categorised in the district category. AusLondonder (talk) 17:44, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Category:Whitnash

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Category containing only the main article and a biography, both are already appropriately categorised. Unhelpful for navigation. AusLondonder (talk) 17:57, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
