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.

April 23

[edit]

NEW NOMINATIONS

[edit]

Ballets by decade of setting

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: merge, isolated and mostly single-article categories, this is not helpful for navigation. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:10, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Works set in American cities

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only one subcategory each. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:59, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Ships of P&O (company)

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: C2D with P&O after it was moved in January 2023. Drenertou (talk) 04:35, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:VLS-equipped attack submarines

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: This is an overly granular, non-defining classification. The presence of vertical launch system tubes on an attack submarine is not defined as a distinct thing by any reliable source. (Note that the category creator seems to be attempting to WP:POVPUSH that this is a notable thing (it's not) having had an article on this concept snow-deleted at AfD.)

Nominator's rationale: error SecretName101 (talk) 02:01, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:Bangladeshi rheumatologists

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Only 1 entry. Also merge with Category:Bangladeshi physicians

Also nominating for merge:

Comment LibStar, what is your reasoning here? You don't offer any explanation. Liz Read! Talk! 02:32, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"Nominator's rationale: Only 1 entry". No different from similar nominations I have made. LibStar (talk) 02:33, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Hydro-Tasmania power development schemes

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: C2D with Hydro Tasmania Ahaohahg (talk) 01:31, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People of the Hydro-Electric Commission of Tasmania

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: C2D with Hydro Tasmania Ahaohahg (talk) 01:28, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Hydro-Tasmania

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: C2D with Hydro Tasmania Ahaohahg (talk) 01:27, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:NYC LPC list missing coordinates

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: There are less than 10 articles that use {{NYC LPC row}} and could possibly populate this category (at most times, including now, it's zero.) I have adjusted that template to instead add articles to Category:New York City articles missing geocoordinate data. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 01:16, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]


Yellowstone task force articles needing attention

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Empty maintenance categories from a task force with <50 articles. These maintenance categories are unlikely to be needed - there's unlikely to be any significant number of additional articles needing coordinates, infoboxes, or other attention. See Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2025 April 8#Washington Metro articles needing attention for a recent discussion of similar categories.
