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.

March 20

[edit]

NEW NOMINATIONS

[edit]

Category:Middle Schools in Guangzhou

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Middle schools in China redirects to junior secondary schools in China. Senior secondary schools in China are sub-catted by province, and a few cities have sub-cats, but for junior schools there are only 28 articles nationwide and no other sub-cats by location. – Fayenatic London 09:45, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:7th-century Romans

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: delete, redundant category layer with only one subcategory, and ancient Rome no longer existed. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:40, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Housing rights activists from Los Angeles

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Dual upmerge for now. underpopulated category SMasonGarrison 02:08, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

NFL awards

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: "Award" is not considered apart of their proper name as these are not limited to a specific publication and should be omitted. This follows a series of recent template and page moves. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 01:56, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support: proposed rename matches that used by the Pro Football Reference source as well as the AP NFL Most Valuable Player article. – yutsi (talk) 03:39, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:LGBTQ culture in the United States by region

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Redundant category layer SMasonGarrison 01:41, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:LGBTQ in the United States by region

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: contents aren't by region. They're a mix of states, populated places etc. SMasonGarrison 01:40, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:First women presidents in Oceania

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Merge for the time being as category is underpopulated. Can be recreated when there are more articles related to this category. Note that article is already in Category:Presidents of the Marshall Islands so no need for a dual merge. Omnis Scientia (talk) 01:22, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fiction set in the 7th millennium or beyond

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: WP:OCMISC. We should not have a remainder category. We should create categories for individual millenniums, not arbitrary groupings. –Aidan721 (talk) 00:58, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Interactive narrative

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: This is a weird category that apparently mostly contains chatbots out of all things. Even though I know that's what this category is trying to do, this does not look like a "category for games or books where the plot is determined by the user." at all!
