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

Some categories may be listed in Category:Categories for deletion but accidently not listed here.

NEW NOMINATIONS

edit

Category:People by district in Norway

edit
Nominator's rationale: For easier navigation and less layers, I propose deleting these categories that group people by non-administrative historical districts of Norway. The categories of these districts do not cover all of Norway. This would reduce one layer between the 15 counties and the 358 municipalities. Excluding county–municipality Oslo, the counties range between 6 and 46 municipalities with a median of 22, not all of them having a people from–category.

Category:Cities and towns in Eid Municipality (Sogn og Fjordane)

edit
Nominator's rationale: Only one entry in this single intersection of cities and towns and a municipality of Norway. This is also a former municipality and each municipality would naturally not have many towns. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 10:29, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Tumoral phenotype

edit
Nominator's rationale: rename to Category:Tumor/Category:Tumors (the target is being discussed at WP:CFDS), redundant category layer with only one subcategory and one article. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:35, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Burials in the Netherlands by populated place

edit
Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only two subcategories. The subcategories are already in the tree of Category:Burials in the Netherlands by province. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:53, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:West Antarctica micronations

edit
Nominator's rationale: Missing parent, and current title is grammatically awkward. Do we have any articles on micronations in East Antarctica? –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:35, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
