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[edit]

This page is transcluded from Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024_July_13


July 13[edit]

NEW NOMINATIONS[edit]

Category:Nilotic people[edit]

Nominator's rationale: Redundant category layer Mason (talk) 12:41, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Jongmyo shrines[edit]

Nominator's rationale: Collectively contain one article and one associated topic. All entries are already in appropriate subcategories of the parents. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 11:03, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Far-right extremists[edit]

Nominator's rationale: delete, redundant category as we already have Category:Nazis and Category:Fascists. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:03, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:BLPCAT and WP:SUBJECTIVECAT, see also Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2009_January_7#Category:Extremists. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 11:25, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Far-right extremism[edit]

Nominator's rationale: Unclear distinction. Far-right is already extreme. MSMST1543 (talk) 08:42, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:World War II national military histories[edit]

Nominator's rationale: rename for alignment with Category:Military history by country and Category:World War II by country. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:34, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Korean War national military histories[edit]

Nominator's rationale: delete, redundant category layer with one subcategory each. The subcategories have been added to Category:Military history of the United States by war. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:51, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Years in (Portuguese) Mozambique[edit]

Nominator's rationale: merge/rename, in the first place this nomination fixes the inconsistent mix of Mozambique and Portuguese Mozambique. Per this earlier discussion, Mozambique becomes the standard. Second, there are hardly any event articles until shortly before Mozambique's independence so the nomination alsp proposes merging years to decades until 1970. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:26, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Sacked Hindu temples in the Muslim period in the Indian subcontinent[edit]

Nominator's rationale: Although Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_May_25#Category:Religious_buildings_and_structures_destroyed_in_the_Muslim_period_in_the_Indian_subcontinent eschewed the word destroyed in favor of sacked, the title here is ungrammatical. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 06:12, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Zero-level elevation points[edit]

Nominator's rationale: As per Category_talk:Zero-level_elevation_points#Scope. fgnievinski (talk) 03:51, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 03:38, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per talk. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 06:13, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The talk page has been preserved in Wikipedia talk:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 July 13. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 06:14, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Year by category — used with year parameter(s) ≠ year in page title[edit]

Nominator's rationale: I feel like spelling out "does not equal" would be helpful; do you know how to type the "does not equal" sign? HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 02:48, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Rename per nom. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 10:29, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Boorana people[edit]

Nominator's rationale: The only person is this category doesn't have Boorana mentioned anywhere in the page. The category creator needs to populate the categories they create. Mason (talk) 00:50, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
