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.

Discussion for Today

January 7

[edit]

NEW NOMINATIONS

[edit]

Category:Mass shootings in South America by year

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: There is not enough content to necessitate a "by year" category tree. Merge up the "by decade" tree and other relevant categories. –Aidan721 (talk) 21:05, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Natural events

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: merge, this tree almost coincides with the Natural disasters tree, and the parent "in the environment" categories aren't well populated either. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:03, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per nom. I may suggest manually merging the categories not being merged to an "in the environment" category since those articles may already be present deeper in that tree. –Aidan721 (talk) 21:11, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Mass shootings in New Zealand by decade

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Very few mass shootings make it unnecessary to diffuse by decade or century. Merge to Category:Mass shootings in New Zealand and Oceania category (if necessary). –Aidan721 (talk) 20:28, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Mass shootings in Australia by decade

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: 1-3 articles per decade. Merge to century-level and Decade in Oceania (if necessary). Optionally merge the 2 century categories to Category:Mass shootings in Australia since diffusing by 2 centuries is not necessarily super useful. If the consensus is to merge the century categories, then re-target the decades to the main category as well. –Aidan721 (talk) 19:36, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Númenor

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Only one article in here. There is a very low probability of this being filled with meaningful articles. All the other inclusions here are redirects all to the same article, which are already categorized at category:Middle-earth location redirects. Jontesta (talk) 18:56, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:The Chronicles of Narnia countries

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Only threes article here. It is unlikely to be filled with enough articles to justify a category (and flooding it with redirects would be bad form). The root category only has three articles currently and six articles would be better than three. Jontesta (talk) 18:51, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Miami RedHawks football venues

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NARROWCAT User:Namiba 18:05, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:AFC Asian Cup stadiums

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCVENUE. User:Namiba 15:45, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People from Busseron Township, Indiana

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Category with just one entry. Lost in Quebec (talk) 13:04, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I might write more articles on Shakers from there, but who knows when, so I'm not opposed to this (as the category creator).--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 13:09, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:1488 establishments in Spain

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: There are very few entries in the per-year categories, and not all exists. Consolidate with decade for easier navigation. -- Beland (talk) 08:51, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Extinctions since 1500

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: merge, the year 1500 is an arbitrary cutoff. If there is no opposition I will add the subcategories to the nomination for renaming from "since 1500" to "Holocene". Marcocapelle (talk) 08:28, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:America's Classics winners that have closed

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Per Category:Defunct restaurants and subcategories. --Another Believer (Talk) 03:30, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm totally fine with that. Jjazz76 (talk) 03:33, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! Then hoping for a speedy rename here. ---Another Believer (Talk) 03:40, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Merge? I am not seeing objection to renaming if kept.

Category:Vanderpuije family of Ghana

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: All articles of people with this surname are in this family category, so it doesn't need the country disambiguator. Mike Selinker (talk) 00:40, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:1889 in Argentine sport

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: underpopulated isolated category, with several red links when the template is used. I urge the category creator to actually see if there's a need for categories like this before they create them SMasonGarrison 00:01, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
