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.

NEW NOMINATIONS

[edit]

Category:Redirects from transliterations

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: The template is {{R from alternative transliteration}}, which implies that the target is also transliterated. 1234qwer1234qwer4 14:19, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

People of Arab descent

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: People of Arab descent are those whose ancestors belong to the Arab ethnic group. This term should not be used as a catch-all category for people from Arab-majority countries, as other ethnic groups also reside in these regions (e.g., Berbers in the Maghreb, Copts in Egypt, Maronites in Lebanon, Druze and Kurds in Syria and Iraq, etc.). Additionally, I propose merging country categories, as dividing them by continent does not make sense given the small number of categories. --Sakakami (talk) 14:14, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Greek Muses

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: "Greek Muses" could easily be misunderstood to be "muse (person) from Greece". This is especially confusing since the category for muse (person) is simply Category:Muses.★Trekker (talk) 09:38, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Women's baseball people

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Delete with no objection to recreate if there is more to add. There are no other women's baseball leagues so this won't be populated any time soon. Note: these all are already in appropriate subcats so no need to merge. Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:38, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Just player is "Women", not all of people who involved in "Women's baseball" is "Women", that's why we need Category:Women's baseball people, Category:Women's baseball coaches. Category:Women's association football didn't add Category:Women in association football. HanTsî (talk) 08:47, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Philip K. Wrigley is not woman. HanTsî (talk) 08:49, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's... not the point of this Cfd. Completely unrelated, in fact. Note: this is the creator of these categories and I think they are confusing an unrelated disagreement about categorization - which was resolved after they finally explained why they were doing so - with why I nominated these categories. Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:57, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Women's baseball is nowhere near women's association football, unfortunately. Hence why I said "no objection to recreate" if there is more to add in the future. At the moment, there's nothing to add here and the rest of the categories in Category:Women's baseball will have to make do. Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:53, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Articles with outdated impact factors

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: These tracking sub-categories of Category:Articles with outdated impact factors are meant to be temporarily (according to the documentation) and pages in these categories should be updated to the most recent impact factor. Since these are empty, that has been done. Gonnym (talk) 08:33, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Scottish humanitarians

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_November_10#Humanitarians Mason (talk) 04:17, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Political and economic think tanks based in the European Union

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: I don't this we need to make the distinction between EU and Eureope for Political and economic think tanks. There's no equivalent parent category for non-political think tanks Mason (talk) 03:44, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Kyrgyz Political Organisations

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Duplicate category created by a new wikipedia editor. Usually, I'd just make a redirect, but this category is different enough that I'd rather merge. Mason (talk) 03:39, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:17th-century mayors of places in Pennsylvania

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. The current lone member might be the only Pennsylvania mayor in the 17th-century. Humphrey Morrey Mason (talk) 03:08, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:History of blood donation in the United Kingdom

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Dual upmerge. I don't think we need to diffuse History of blood donation by country, given that the History of blood donation only contains this category Mason (talk) 00:56, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
