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:Casino hotels in the Republic of Ireland that never opened

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Single-entry category for an obscurely specific topic/characteristic. The sole-entry (and only possible entry?) is already in Category:Unbuilt casinos and Category:Unbuilt buildings and structures in the Republic of Ireland - neither of which is especially heavily populated to the extent that diffusion via multi-tiered categories seems necessary. (I'd also note that defining/categorising a topic based on characteristics that it doesn't have (including existence) is a highly-open (near infinite) form of categorisation - raising WP:CATDEF and WP:OCAT issues.)

Category:Andean scholars

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: rename, the current name is ambiguous, it might refer to Andean or Inca ethnicity of the scholar, but that is not the intention. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:37, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Deputy heads of government of Australian states and territories

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Rename to include the Category:Deputy prime ministers of Australia (which i have already added). GMH Melbourne (talk) 03:42, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: redundant category layer that overlaps with Hungarian diaspora SMasonGarrison 02:59, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
