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.

September 10

[edit]

NEW NOMINATIONS

[edit]

Category:Korean companies established in 1999

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Scope overlap, only one page in it, imprecise title (only page in it is South Korean company) seefooddiet (talk) 09:09, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Professional certifications in computer engineering

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: narrow intersection that's not particularly defining for either page Mason (talk) 04:25, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Arabian slaves and freedmen

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: rename, as far as I know "Arabian" is used in conjunction with Arabian Peninsula and Arabian language, but in most other cases it is Arab. It should actually be slaves of Arabs rather than Arab slaves (e.g. a number of articles in subCategory:Moroccan slaves are about Europeans) but that is a problem that probably applies to all Category:Slaves by nationality subcategories too. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:22, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Organisation headquarters in the United Kingdom

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Mason (talk) 03:14, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Organization headquarters

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Redundant category. Are there non organizational headquarters? Mason (talk) 03:14, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Amniotic sac

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Do we really need a category for the amniotic sac? Mason (talk) 03:13, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fetal membranes

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Redundant category layer Mason (talk) 03:12, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:East German swimming people

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Do we really need "Swimming people categories" like this? Mason (talk) 03:00, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:1384 establishments in Italy

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Isolated category where the only page doesn't really need this level of specificity for establisment (Witch trials in Italy aren't really established like this) Mason (talk) 02:55, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Aragonese ambassadors to the Byzantine Empire

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Dual upmerge for now. There's only one page in here, and there are unlikely to be more anytime soon. Mason (talk) 02:16, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
