See Wikipedia:Categories for deletion policies for the official rules of this page, and how to do cleanup.
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]- 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.
- 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.)
- Please read the Wikipedia:Categorization of people policy if nominating or voting on a people-related category.
- 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.
- 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.
- Alternately, use the rename template like this: {{cfr|newname}}
- If you are concerned with a stub category, make sure to inform the WikiProject Stub sorting
- Add new deletion candidates under the appropriate day near the top of this page.
- Alternatively, if the category is a candidate for speedy renaming (see Wikipedia:Category renaming), add it to the speedy category at the bottom.
- 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).
- Sign any listing or vote you make by typing ~~~~ after your text.
- 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.

[edit]NEW NOMINATIONS
[edit]Category:Neighbours from Hell
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: Multiple categories for franchises containing only 2 articles each. Each category has just one article for the first game and the other for a sequel. These kinds of categories actually usually require a significante amount of content, and none of these can. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 04:57, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
Category:American soccer players of Nigerian descent
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: I am going to nominate all the Fooian sportspeople of Bar descent cats in due course after all the British ones were upmerged, seems no difference between them and other countries. This one is a level deeper, to a specific sport, and is not defining in any way for either the individuals or their heritage as significant to their sport careers.

- Merge, trivial intersection between occupation and descent. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:37, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
- Keep as a distinct topic or, at the very least, merge to Category:African-American soccer players as well. As a distinct topic, see: New York Times, United Soccer Coaches,US Youth Soccer, Voice of America, and Pulse Sports--User:Namiba 14:56, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
- You're right, dual upmerge to Category:African-American soccer players and Category:American sportspeople of Nigerian descent. Crowsus (talk) 10:12, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Category:People from Ermesinde
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: Recently created 1-article category. Category:People from Porto District works fine. Gjs238 (talk) 02:42, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
- Merge to Category:Footballers from Porto District, supporting the spirit of this nom. - RevelationDirect (talk) 03:56, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
Category:Male actors in Gujarati cinema
[edit]- Propose merging Category:Male actors in Gujarati cinema to Category:Male actors in Gujarati-language films
- Propose merging Category:Actors in Gujarati cinema to Category:Actors in Gujarati-language films
- Nominator's rationale: Duplicate categories that are effectively cut and paste moves. The category creator emptied Category:Actors in Gujarati-language films and moved them to Actors in Gujarati cinema. If the decision is to keep the new name, the older category should be renamed, instead of the new category being kept SMasonGarrison 01:26, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
Category:UKS SMS Łódź players
[edit]- Propose renaming Category:UKS SMS Łódź players to Category:UKS SMS Łódź footballers
- Nominator's rationale: UKS SMS Łódź is a multi-sport club with football, volleyball and other sections. Propose renaming from "players" to "footballers" to avoid ambiguity and potential confusion. - Darwinek (talk) 00:51, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
Category:Charlotte Amalie of Hesse-Kassel
[edit]- Propose Deleting Category:Charlotte Amalie of Hesse-Kassel
- Nominator's rationale: WP:OCEPON and WP:SHAREDNAME
- No conceptual objection to this category but there's only two articles beyond the biograpy. And one of those is Charlotte Amalie, U.S. Virgin Islands, a pre-existing town renamed after the queen. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:32, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
