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:Autological words

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: This requires some head-wrapping, but this category is a set category, so all articles in this category must be about an autological word. However, per WP:UMD, these articles aren't about specific words. For example, the article Noun is in this category, and indeed the word "Noun" is autological. But the article is about nouns in general, and nouns aren't per se autological.
Besides, a word being autological is merely a nerdy curiosity, and although I too am a nerd, I don't think anyone browsing Wikipedia is helped by this category. ―Jochem van Hees (talk) 19:50, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Filmed deaths during transport disasters

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SUBJECTIVECAT and WP:NARROWCAT. "Disaster" is a subjective term as applied to transport accidents, and most are not widely described as such. Additionally, I propose that this category should be upmerged directly under the Category:Filmed deaths category tree. Carguychris (talk) 19:19, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Yoon Suk Yeol government

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: To match in line with categories about presidencies of other nations like the United States. The President of South Korea is the head of state and government like that of the President of the United States. Categories with the name of the head of government is the prime minister and is the head of government in most nations.

All categories here are not of prime ministers of South Korea, but the presidents. And it should be reflected as such with the names of the categories nominated. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 19:15, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Baseball venues by competition

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: This is a more accurate name. 29 of the 30 categories are for ballparks in a certain league, wieth the lone exception being Category:College World Series venues which can be reparented. User:Namiba 19:03, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Baseball players from Juniata County, Pennsylvania

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Category with just two entries. Lost in Quebec (talk) 14:35, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ancient Christians

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: merge, unnecessary and arbitrary distinction, nothing became different about being a Christian or about sainthood at the Council of Nicea. The Edict of Milan was probably more impactful on being a Christian, but still it does not make too much sense to create container categories for three and two centuries respectively. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:09, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Category:Funk carioca genres

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Consistent with pt:categoria:Gêneros de funk brasileiro. This is more accurate since carioca implies related to Rio de Janeiro, and not every subgenre is carioca. Example, Funk ostentação () and Funk ousadia are highly associated with São Paulo instead. LIrala (talk) 04:51, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People who have been placed under house arrest in Iran

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Being arrested isn't defining. SMasonGarrison 03:33, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:America's Classics winners that have closed

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Per Category:Defunct restaurants and subcategories. --Another Believer (Talk) 03:30, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm totally fine with that. Jjazz76 (talk) 03:33, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! Then hoping for a speedy rename here. ---Another Believer (Talk) 03:40, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:African-American women centenarians

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Similar to recent case of Category:Jewish centenarians by gender, I don't think we should be splitting this intersection by gender. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_December_13 SMasonGarrison 01:06, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
