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.

[edit]

NEW NOMINATIONS

[edit]

Eponymous categories

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCEPON. Each category only contains the main article and one subcat. 1857a (talk) 19:18, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Richard Twentyman

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: The category is for buildings by this architect. Rather than being an eponymous category, it should be named following the convention in Category:Buildings and structures by architect. 1857a (talk) 18:28, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Downtown Brampton

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Dedicated category for the downtown core of a midsized suburban city not nearly large enough to need separate subcategories for each individual neighbourhood within it. While subcategorization by district, neighbourhood or borough can be done for major metropolitan global cities with populations in the millions which need the subcategories for size control (e.g. New York City, Paris or London), Brampton isn't in that elite class of places, and district categories do not automatically need to exist for every district of every city across the board -- and with just four things filed here, Downtown Brampton isn't nearly large or globally prominent enough to need special treatment that most cities' downtowns aren't getting.
Everything in here is already in other subcategories of Category:Brampton as it is, so they're already appropriately categorized and upmerging to the parent isn't needed. Bearcat (talk) 15:46, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Film censorship by country

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Do we need these 1-article categories? Merge to Category:Film censorship by country Gjs238 (talk) 12:57, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I was able to move some films from the "Censorship in Bangladesh" category to the "Film censorship in Bangladesh" category. Additionally, I quickly skimmed and was able to find some more films that were censored in Israel. Mellamelina (talk) 14:44, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Bridges over the Otava

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Only one article. FromCzech (talk) 12:35, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:West Coast Gold Rush in fiction

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: merge for now, only two articles in the category, this is not helpful for navigation. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:09, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Countries in fiction

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only one subcategory each. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:42, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Manuscripts by collection

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: For consistency with all comparable subcategories of Category:Collection of the Louvre, Category:Collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Category:Collection of the Smithsonian Institution, etc. – they all begin with "Paintings in", "Sculptures in" or similar. Ham II (talk) 08:13, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:U.S. prior to 1923 public domain art

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: This category is automatically populated by {{PD-art-US}}. The 1923 cutoff doesn't apply anymore, so for example File:Unu nestival.jpg is in this category despite being published in 1929. hinnk (talk) 07:59, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Generals of the Army of Duchy of Warsaw

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated category, upmerge for now. Only Jan Henryk Dąbrowski is in it SMasonGarrison 03:51, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Chicago Teachers Federation

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Same reasons cited on talk page of main article for renaming from Chicago Teachers Federation to Chicago Teachers' Federation SecretName101 (talk) 01:38, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Entertainers by populated place in New Hampshire

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. Redundant category layer SMasonGarrison 00:43, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Ivy Plus universities

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: I don't think that this category is a defining feature, especially for those in the Ivey league. Ivy Plus redirects to a sub section of the Ivy League. SMasonGarrison 00:28, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
