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_4


July 4[edit]

NEW NOMINATIONS[edit]

Category:Gilgit-Baltistan stubs[edit]

Nominator's rationale: delete or merge, poorly populated stub category and we do not have any similar Pakistani province stub categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:34, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkltalk 20:11, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Marcocapelle: what do you envision happening with the stub templates in the category? (For ease of reference, they are {{GilgitBaltistan-sport-stub}}, {{GilgitBaltistan-edu-stub}}, and {{GilgitBaltistan-stub}}.) HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 01:36, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting for input on Marcocapelle's updated proposal. If there is no further participation; I would close this as rename.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 14:36, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Tourist attractions in Ontario, California[edit]

Nominator's rationale: Does not aid navigation with only 1 article. User:Namiba 14:13, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:9th-century biologists[edit]

Nominator's rationale: Isolated category. Upmerge for now. Most of the people in the category aren't defined as being biologists. Mason (talk) 13:39, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:British place-names containing Brittonic */kɛːt/[edit]

Nominator's rationale: delete, not a defining characteristic of these places. By all means mention these four as examples in a language article. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:26, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decades in (Portuguese) Mozambique[edit]

Option A
Option B
Nominator's rationale: merge or reverse merge, these are clearly duplicate decade categories. In option A the 20th century categories should follow in tandem. I have a weak preference for option A, "Portuguese" is an unnecessary addition because it was Portuguese until 1973 by implication. Also, at least in the 20th century, Portuguese Mozambique covered about the same area as the current republic (that was very different in earlier centuries though). If this goes ahead one way or the other then presumably establishments and disestablishments subcategories may be speedied per C2C. This is follow-up on a discussion with User:Fayenatic london. I will tag both sets of categories. See also yesterday's pre-20th century nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:26, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Tourism in Faisalabad[edit]

Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only one subcategory each. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:00, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:History of Malaya[edit]

Nominator's rationale: merge, the category seems to be about the Federation of Malaya. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:15, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Mongol states[edit]

Nominator's rationale: merge or reverse merge, it is unclear how the categories are different from each other. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:10, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The difference is that some of the Mongol states were not physically located in present-day Mongolia. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:03, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Baseball players from Ames, Iowa[edit]

Nominator's rationale: Dual merge; only two articles. No object to recreation if there are more articles to be added. Omnis Scientia (talk) 10:03, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per nom. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 20:36, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There are now 3 articles. There are over 200 articles in Category:Baseball players from Iowa and Ames is one of the larger cities in Iowa. I'd prefer to keep or at least rename Category:Baseball players from Story County, Iowa which would be slightly larger.--User:Namiba 21:54, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Thoughts on Namiba's comment? (Keeping it to diffuse Category:Baseball players from Iowa and possibly renaming to broaden its scope.)

Category:Fictional chimney sweepers[edit]

Nominator's rationale: Most articles in here are works of media, which don't belong here anyway, while the one character that does can be merged to Category:Fictional domestic workers. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 04:36, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
