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:1896 murders in Iran

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Category tree with only two articles –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 03:16, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Disasters in Iran

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: There is surprisingly little content in this category tree, even in the more recent years. All of the CfD's below are for year subcategories of this one dedicated solely to terrorist attacks. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 03:12, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Terrorist incidents in Iran in 1994

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Category tree with one article –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:51, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Terrorist incidents in Iran in 1981

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Contains just 3 events. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:47, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Terrorist incidents in Iran in 1978

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Category tree that contains a single article, Cinema Rex fire. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:41, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:1917 disasters in Iran

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Collectively contain one article about a multi-year event (the Persian famine of 1917–1919) that is already in most of the relevant parents. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:27, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Animals in religion

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Categories are too similar, especially given the actual contents, and this is reflected by the presence of a category loop between the first pair. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:13, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Votia

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Votia redirects to Votians, and their overlap is replected by the presence of a category loop. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:00, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Human-Environment interaction

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Overlap with Category:Environmental sociology (reflecting the target of Human-Environment interaction) and Category:Human impact on the environment. The ostensible main article is Integrated geography. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:56, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose- Human-Environment interaction is one of the Four traditions of geography, originally refered to as the "Man-Land tradition." It is also one of the Five themes of geography. It is a geography topic and is distinct from sociology. GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 02:22, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Modernity

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Categories are too similar, and this is reflected by the fact that they form a category loop. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:45, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Ethnographic museums in Israel

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Overlapping categories. The merge target is much older. SMasonGarrison 01:38, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
merge per nominator Andre🚐 02:06, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]


Category:Church buildings in fiction

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only one subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:30, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to all parents: This also includes Category:Fiction about Christianity and Category:Buildings and structures in fiction. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:32, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I still stand by my assertion. The Hunchback of Notre-Dame is already in Category:Works set in cathedrals, and is not directly in the category. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:15, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Baseball players from Edwards County, Texas

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Category with just two entries. Lost in Quebec (talk) 13:48, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
