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.

September 28

NEW NOMINATIONS

[edit]

Category:Pacific theatre of World War II US people

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Mason (talk) 21:29, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Pacific theatre of World War II people

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: The current name is awkward. I'd also be ok with deletion. Mason (talk) 21:29, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Chinese opera actresses

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: I think that we should rename this category to make it clearer that this is the genre and not a nationality. Notably the parent is Category:Actors of Chinese opera. Obviously we'd have to consider how the child categories are organized/named, but I think that we could do that in a 2nd cfd to consider options. Mason (talk) 20:04, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:LGBTQ rights in the People's Republic of China

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: WP:OVERLAPCAT. The "China" category is a parent of the "People's Republic of China" category, and they both categorise the same thing. 1857a (talk) 15:53, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Rome Film Festival

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: WP:TOOSOON category without enough content to support it. The Rome Film Festival has not yet had articles created for any prior edition, with the upcoming 2024 festival being the first time such a thing has ever been created -- and while it's possible that the 18 prior editions (as well as future ones) may be added in the future, it's also possible that they won't be.
So this can be recreated if and when three or four other editions also have articles in place to file in it, but four or five articles have to exist first and then the category to contain them comes second, rather than the category existing in advance of content for it. Bearcat (talk) 14:17, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Christian saints from the Ottoman Empire

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: rename per actual content, all articles are about Eastern Orthodox people. No objection to recreation of the original name if saints from the Ottoman Empire of other denominations are identified. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:52, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. Mason (talk) 20:06, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Greek Orthodox Christians from the Ottoman Empire

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: rename, aligning with siblings in Category:Eastern Orthodox Christians by nationality. Also, it will become less ambiguous, with the current name "Greek" could be understood as Greek nationality, which however is not the case. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:47, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. Thank you for digging through this complexity Mason (talk) 20:07, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Uyezds of Grodno Governorate

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: delete, redundant category layer with only the eponymous article and a subcategory each. The articles are already in Category:Uezds of Grodno Governorate, the subcategories are already in Category:People from Grodno Governorate so there is nothing left to merge. For context, uezds were second-level administrative divisions of the Russian Empire, governorates were the first-level administrative divisions. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:12, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

History of Shusha

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: delete, only one article in four categories. No need to merge because the article is already in Category:Military history of Shusha. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:50, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Transgender by country

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Following Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 September 13#Category:Transgender in Russia, it seems the problem is Transgender being an adjective, rather than a noun word or noun phrase. Then I think transness is a good alternative solution, as that's the most accepted noun for transgenderness in English, similar to the Francophone equivalents transidentity (transidentité) or transitude, which are less common in English. Another option would be "Transgender topics", which would be more recognizable. --MikutoH talk! 01:18, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Alternative - either Transgender topics or Transgender people. I definitely don’t like transness - as the dictionary entry says, it’s about a condition and that just sounds worse, being transgender isn’t a condition defined by one’s transness, which is why it’s also listed as synonymous with other such terms that are similarly considered to be pejorative nowadays. Raladic (talk) 05:18, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support transness I don't see a good alternative to that that makes sense.★Trekker (talk) 10:00, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support in principle, but oppose the name "Transness". It's unclear to people who are not familiar with the topic. Either of the alternatives are fine with me, such as Transgender topics in FOO, Transgender rights in FOO, etc. I'd need convincing for Transgender people in FOO because it will get mixed up with FOOian transgender people (a.k.a. nationals of a country who are trans.
