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

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.
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
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.
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

Some categories may be listed in Category:Categories for deletion but accidently not listed here.

October 18

NEW NOMINATIONS

Category:Speedrunning communities

Propose merging Category:Speedrunning communities to Category:Speedrunning

Nominator's rationale: This isn't because the category's small, but because it isn't being 100% clear with the definition of community and besides, just looks a like small yet unorganized mess. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 00:56, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge, at most TheSpeedGamers might be called a community but even that is doubtful. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:23, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People from Hartshead

Propose merging Category:People from Hartshead to Category:People from Kirklees (district)

Nominator's rationale: Unhelpful for navigation as contains only a single article. Merge to larger parent. AusLondonder (talk) 00:35, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:24, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People from Hamstall Ridware

Propose merging Category:People from Hamstall Ridware to Category:People from Lichfield District

Nominator's rationale: Unhelpful for navigation as contains only a single article. Merge to larger parent. AusLondonder (talk) 00:34, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:25, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People from Doveridge

Propose merging Category:People from Doveridge to Category:People from Derbyshire Dales (district)

Nominator's rationale: Unhelpful for navigation as contains only a single article. Merge to larger parent. AusLondonder (talk) 00:30, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:25, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Only 1 entry. REDISCOVERBHARAT (talk) 08:26, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per nom. I couldn't find any others. Perspicax (talk) 09:15, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:2028 United States Senate elections

Propose deleting Category:2028 United States Senate elections (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Created too soon, a category full of 34 redirects to the same page. Unhelpful for readers. AusLondonder (talk) 00:28, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This again? I don't see how deletion is any better for our readers, but whatever. Elli (talk | contribs) 00:30, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, this is too premature. By all means recreate when there are at least a handful real articles. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:27, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Mosques of Leicestershire

Propose renaming Category:Mosques of Leicestershire to Category:Mosques in Leicestershire

Also propose renaming Category:Mosques of Lincolnshire to Category:Mosques in Lincolnshire

Nominator's rationale: Compatibility with Category:Mosques in England and Category:Churches in Leicestershire, etc. PamD 10:58, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rename per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:02, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would support upmerging Category:Mosques of Leicestershire to Category:Mosques in England as it contains a single article which is also already categorised in the mosques of England category. AusLondonder (talk) 00:10, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I support merging/deleting this category too. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:43, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It now has two entries, and given the diverse population of Leicester I expect there may be many more to be created - and we have an editor who is creating a lot of mosque articles. PamD 07:43, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Merge Category:Mosques of Leicestershire? I am not seeing objections to renaming if kept.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, House Blaster (talk • he/they) 00:27, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
