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:Relations of Japan and its former colonies

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: delete, Korea was annexeren by Japan rather than a colony (or initially it was a protectorate). Marcocapelle (talk) 21:38, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This and the two nominations below are follow-up on this earlier discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:40, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Relations of Turkey and its former colonies

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: delete, neither of the four entries is about proper colonies. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:26, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Relations of Russia and its former colonies

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: delete, neither of the three entries is about proper colonies. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:18, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • There most likely will have to something like this category to talk about relations between Russia and the other post-Soviet states. Perhaps it is better to rename than to delete the category. GreekApple123 (talk) 21:24, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Organizations of former colonies

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only the Commonwealth of Nations in it, which is already in Category:Relations of the United Kingdom and its former colonies. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:09, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Categories in fiction

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: rename, these are set categories containing articles about fictional works rather than topic categories containing articles about literature.

Category:Next Generation Adelaide International

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Tournament changed its name several times, but the main article is at Australian Hard Court Championships. See also Brisbane_International#History.
