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:Kingdom of Tonga (1900–1970) judges

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: delete for now, there is currently only one article in the category, which is not helpful for navigation. Merging is not needed, the article is already jn the tree of Category:Tongan judges. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:15, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:20th century in Dushanbe

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: merge for now, redundant category layers, the entire tree only contains 4 articles. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:08, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Football clubs in Obala

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Categories newly created for just one thing, in a small town whose "what links here" offers up absolutely nothing else to file in them. As always, we do not need to obsessively funnel everything down into the narrowest possible microcategories of just one thing -- this would be fine if there were four or five football clubs in this town, but is not needed for just one, and the country level is all that's required in the meantime. Bearcat (talk) 14:31, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Alumni of Vakalo College

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There's only one page in here. I'm tempted to just delete given that there isn't a page for Vakalo College Mason (talk) 13:24, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:History of the Trucial States

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer because the parent category is empty except for the eponymous article. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:54, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Jediknight15

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: I am now unblocked, is this category still necessary? Jediknight15 (talk) 07:48, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Modern Chinese historians

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Non-defining Mason (talk) 03:41, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Vehicle simulation MOGs

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: A very similar category already exists. The desired category for merging is for practically the same thing. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 05:00, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Oppose. As the originator of both categories, "multiplayer vehicle operation games" is actually the category that is more specific.
here is its specific role : A category for any video game, arcade game, or board game in which multiple players are able to each operate a different control station or weapon station on the same vehicle at the same time.,the category for vehicle simulation MOGs is more generic, as it is simply any multiplayer games where players play the game by operating a vehicle, i.e. rather than controlling an in-game persona. --Sm8900 (talk) 02:09, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge or reverse merge, the difference is too subtle to keep them apart. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:39, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    it is entirely different. in "multiplayer vehicle operation games," you and other players would be at separate stations on the same vehicle. Whereas "Vehicle simulation MOGs" includes any and all games where each player has their own jet fighter, or tank,or other vehicle, and is trying to shoot other players. Sm8900 (talk) 19:38, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Category:ISIL terrorist incidents in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. There's only one page in here. Mason (talk) 00:05, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
