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
[edit]- 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.
- Alternately, use the rename template like this: {{cfr|newname}}
- 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.
- 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
[edit]Some categories may be listed in Category:Categories for deletion but accidently not listed here.
Discussion for Today

August 5
[edit]NEW NOMINATIONS
[edit]Category:Book of Leviticus chapters
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: Contains only redirects; articles are in Category:Book of Leviticus and are not organized by chapter. -- Beland (talk) 06:49, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
Category:Book of Exodus chapters
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: Contains only redirects; articles are in Category:Book of Exodus. Like many other Bible books, material on this book is not organized by chapter, but by story or topic. -- Beland (talk) 06:46, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
Category:Exodus 4
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: Contains only one redirect; articles are in Category:Book of Exodus. -- Beland (talk) 06:44, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
Category:American and Canadian soccer championship-winning seasons
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: There is now a separate category for Canadian competitions. RedBlueGreen93 04:32, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
Category:Antisemitism in China
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: this category contains only three articles: a main article, a media, and an Internet celebrity, Not to mention that anti-Semitism in China has only appeared on the Internet in recent years. Coddlebean (talk) 04:14, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- If not kept, the main article should be added to the parent categories Category:Antisemitism in Asia, Category:Jews and Judaism in China and Category:Racism in China. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:47, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
Category:Book of Genesis chapters
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: There are no articles in this category, only redirects and a disambiguation page. Coverage of Genesis is not organized by chapter, it's divided by story or topic. Readers can find what they need in Category:Book of Genesis. Several other Bible books are the same way and will probably need similar cleanup. In some cases where all chapter articles were merged into a single article after cleanup, I've already deleted the empty categories. -- Beland (talk) 04:12, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- Delete, there are only redirects and a disambiguation page. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:49, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
