See Wikipedia:Categories for deletion policies for the official rules of this page, and how to do cleanup.
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]- 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.
- 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.)
- Please read the Wikipedia:Categorization of people policy if nominating or voting on a people-related category.
- 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.
- 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.
- Alternately, use the rename template like this: {{cfr|newname}}
- If you are concerned with a stub category, make sure to inform the WikiProject Stub sorting
- Add new deletion candidates under the appropriate day near the top of this page.
- Alternatively, if the category is a candidate for speedy renaming (see Wikipedia:Category renaming), add it to the speedy category at the bottom.
- 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).
- Sign any listing or vote you make by typing ~~~~ after your text.
- 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
[edit]- This page is transcluded from Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024_October_26
October 26
[edit]NEW NOMINATIONS
[edit]Category:MultiVersus characters
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: I feel like, unlike Category:Super Smash Bros. fighters, this category would not be considered WP:DEFINING for any of the characters involved. (Oinkers42) (talk) 14:03, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
Category:Towns and villages in Latvia
[edit]- Propose merging Category:Towns and villages in Latvia to Category:Populated places in Latvia
- Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with two (very obvious) subcategories. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:30, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
- Support - a distinction without a difference, as far as {{WP Cities}} is concerned. ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf) 14:14, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
Category:Vehicle-building video games
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: I'm not getting much that confirms a "vehicle-building" genre really exists. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 12:29, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
Category:Secernentea
[edit]- Propose merging Category:Secernentea to Category:Nematodes
- Nominator's rationale: WoRMS and the article on Secernentea agree that this taxon is no longer in use. jlwoodwa (talk) 01:49, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
Category:SubGenii by nationality
[edit]- Propose merging Category:SubGenii by nationality to Category:SubGenii
- Nominator's rationale: Redudant category layer Mason (talk) 00:43, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
- Delete, not a defining characteristic of the subjects in the category. If not deleted, merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:21, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
Category:Hong Kong–Saudi Arabia relations
[edit]- Propose merging Category:Hong Kong–Saudi Arabia relations to Category:China–Saudi Arabia relations
- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. This category is extremely narrow intersection that really doesn't have sufficient pages to population it. (I looked) Mason (talk) 00:37, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
- Support as per the recent developments. Srijanx22 (talk) 05:26, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. It would have been different if the article was about an event before 1997 but that is not the case. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:24, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
Category:Films scored by Naved Parvez
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: Naved Parvez was deleted in 2020. This category was created in 2024 and has 9 articles. I'm not sure if this category is needed as Parvez doesn't have an article. MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 00:09, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
- Support - The main article was deleted. The category must also go. Srijanx22 (talk) 05:27, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
- Question: wouldn't this be sufficient for a list? Marcocapelle (talk) 06:28, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
