WP:CFD/T

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.

November 18

NEW NOMINATIONS

Category:Charities based in Gibraltar

Propose merging Category:Charities based in Gibraltar to Category:Organisations based in Gibraltar

Nominator's rationale: Category containing a single article, unhelpful for navigation and better categorised within the parent. AusLondonder (talk) 13:55, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Maps of Gibraltar

Propose merging Category:Maps of Gibraltar to Category:Images of Gibraltar

Nominator's rationale: Category containing a single image and a module. Unhelpful for navigation. AusLondonder (talk) 13:34, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Dunes of Gibraltar

Propose merging Category:Dunes of Gibraltar to Category:Landforms of Gibraltar

Nominator's rationale: Category containing a single article that would be better categorised within the parent category. Unhelpful for navigation. AusLondonder (talk) 13:17, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Venues of the Bundesvision Song Contest

Propose deleting Category:Venues of the Bundesvision Song Contest (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCVENUE (also see Bundesvision Song Contest for background/nature of the specific competition/event). (All articles in the cat are sufficiently categorized otherwise.) Felida⁹⁷ (talk) 12:46, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:FA Cup final venues

Propose deleting Category:FA Cup final venues (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCVENUE. (All articles within are sufficiently categorized otherwise.) Felida⁹⁷ (talk) 12:08, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup venues

Propose merging Category:2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup venues to Category:Football venues in India

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCVENUE. (Side note: Merging would empty Category:FIFA U-17 World Cup stadiums, which only contains the discussed cat.) Felida⁹⁷ (talk) 11:35, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just saw that, apart from one, all articles were/are already in Category:Football venues in India and/or one of the more specific location subcats. I've just categorized the remaining one, so this might as well be considered a nomination for deletion. Felida⁹⁷ (talk) 11:57, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:2021 FIFA Futsal World Cup venues

Propose merging Category:2021 FIFA Futsal World Cup venues to Category:Futsal venues

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCVENUE. Felida⁹⁷ (talk) 11:25, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Journalists from Tirana

Propose merging Category:Journalists from Tirana to Category:Writers from Tirana

Nominator's rationale: Category with just one entry. Lost in Quebec (talk) 09:47, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Interscope-Geffen-A&M artists

Propose merging Category:Interscope-Geffen-A&M artists to Category:Interscope Geffen A&M Records artists

Nominator's rationale: An editor emptied this long-standing category, created a new category, and then turned this category into a redirect to the new category. They should have gone for a speedy rename instead. I'm hoping that these two categories can undergo a history merge so that the page history of the original category is merged to the newer category. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:55, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: It was a bad decision to create a new category and redirect the old one to another without proper consent as per ~~WP:CFD~~. In thought, it had to match the article name, which is why it happened, again without proper administration request. Apologies. Darrion N. Brown 🙂 (my talk page / my sandbox) 04:05, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I accidentally added the wrong target as it was actually "speedy deletion". I meant to say WP:CFD (for "discussion"). Darrion N. Brown 🙂 (my talk page / my sandbox) 04:07, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep page history of the nominated category, per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:55, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Puerto Rican Freemasons

Propose merging Category:Puerto Rican Freemasons to Category:American Freemasons

Nominator's rationale: We don't have Category:American Freemasons by state or territory so why does this exist? Mach61 00:58, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge, underpopulated category. I would not object to having this category when it would contain a handful of articles at least. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:59, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
