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

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

This page is transcluded from Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024_October_8

October 8

Category:Pointers to WMF tools

• Propose renaming Category:Pointers to WMF tools to Category:Pointers to Toolforge tools

Nominator's rationale: None of these tools are maintained by the WMF. I suspect the creator meant "WMF Labs", but that name has been replaced by Toolforge now. Legoktm (talk) 04:23, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:Government organizations of Indonesia

• Propose merging Category:Government organizations of Indonesia to Category:Government of Indonesia

Nominator's rationale: Upmerge redundant category layer. This category doesn't help navigation Mason (talk) 03:51, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:Second ladies and gentlemen of the Philippines

• Propose deleting Category:Second ladies and gentlemen of the Philippines (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: WP:NEOLOGISM, Second Ladies are not a thing in Philippine politics. We are not like the United States which uses such term. Second Ladies/Gentlemen at best are just a synonym for the Vice President's spouse, unlike the First Lady/Gentlemen who actually serves a role for being the host at the Malacanang Palace and is distinct from the Spouse of the President of the Philippines Hariboneagle927 (talk) 02:24, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:Nuclear weapons and the Russian invasion of Ukraine

• Propose merging Category:Nuclear weapons and the Russian invasion of Ukraine to Category:Nuclear technology and the Russian invasion of Ukraine

Nominator's rationale: Overlapping categories. Upmerge. Mason (talk) 02:13, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:Pro–nuclear weapons activists

• Propose merging Category:Pro–nuclear weapons activists to Category:Nuclear weapons

Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated category that's not helpful for navigation. There's only one page in here. Mason (talk) 02:12, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:Blackpink members albums

• Propose deleting Category:Blackpink members albums (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: There is no scheme for categorizing individual members solo albums by albums by members of groups, and each is already linked from the group's albums category Category:Blackpink albums (which appears to be the standard). For precedent, I found Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 February 19#Category:The Cars' solo albums. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 00:34, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
