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

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

NEW NOMINATIONS

[edit]

Category:Graduates of the United States Military Academy Class of 1933

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Non-defining. There is a rare exception for Category:Graduates of the United States Military Academy Class of 1915 because they have an article about it The class the stars fell on SMasonGarrison 14:21, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:WikiProject Eurovision participants

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: the project has been renamed. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 13:36, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Division 5 (Swedish football) players

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Hardly a defining characteristic. Seventh tier in the Swedish football league system with around 500 teams. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 12:10, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Sports plays

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: This category does not contain Plays (theatrical dramas) but notable incidents in games of sport, and seems to be a North American usage. The subcats Category:Historic baseball plays and National Football League plays may be appropriate as local WP:ENGVAR, but this parent should use a name that will be understood more widely. – Fayenatic London 11:49, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People from Truro, Nova Scotia, by occupation

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Category with just one entry. Lost in Quebec (talk) 11:06, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Television anchors from Columbia, Missouri

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Category with just one entry. Lost in Quebec (talk) 11:02, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Criminals who committed suicide

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Non-defining intersection that if not deleted needs to be renamed to match the norm of "who died by suicide". SMasonGarrison 05:36, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Ehime-railstation-stub

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Useless stub template, category is empty. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 05:34, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Authors who died by suicide

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Non-defining intersection between occupation and specific cause of death. If Authors not deleted, it needs to be renamed to "Writers". Other similar cases include: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_December_28#Category:Pornographic_actors_who_died_by_suicide SMasonGarrison 05:33, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Presidential travels of Donald Trump
