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

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.
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
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.
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

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

NEW NOMINATIONS

Category:Palestinian women's football biography stubs

Propose merging Category:Palestinian women's football biography stubs to Category:Palestinian football biography stubs and Category:Asian women's football biography stubs

Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated stub category not authorized through proper processes. As always, stub categories are not free for just any user to create on a whim -- there have to be at least 60 articles to file in a stub category before it's justified, so for that very reason stub categories have to be approved by the stub sorting project before they can be created. But there's no evidence that this was submitted for approval at all, and it has just seven articles, while the parent categories don't offer up 53 other women who could be refiled here to salvage it. The template is fine, since it can always just upfile articles into the parents in the meantime, but it can't have its own dedicated category without at least 8.5 times as many pages as this.

Category:Literary works by Max Frisch

Propose renaming Category:Literary works by Max Frisch to Category:Works by Max Frisch

Nominator's rationale: The word 'literary' does not seem necessary here. There may be a few more categories like this in need of renaming ("Category:Literary works by NAME"->"Category:Works by NAME"). I found but as there is no gadget I am aware of to make bundle nominations, I am just listing those I found here: Category:Literary works by Willem Frederik Hermans, Category:Literary works by Philip K. Dick (this one just needs an upmerge), Category:Literary works by Ferenc Molnár and Category:Literary works by Ko Un (Category:Literary works by Peter Handke is already a soft redirect to Works by...). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 14:45, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
