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.

Discussion for Today

April 1

[edit]

NEW NOMINATIONS

[edit]

Category:Beanpot Tournament Winners

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Winning this tournament is a non-defining characteristic of a hockey player. As per WP:OCAWARD it is overcategorization. Here is the relevant informal discussion suggesting its deletion. Flibirigit (talk) 18:23, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:United States Attorneys

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: "United States Attorney" is a position that should be rendered in lowercase when it's plural, per MOS:JOBTITLES. Woko Sapien (talk) 18:19, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wikipedians who own aquariums containing all of the fish they have been slapped with

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Annual serious nomination of inappropriate joke categories on April Fools Day. * Pppery * it has begun... 17:32, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Housing rights activists from New Orleans

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Category with just two entries. Lost in Quebec (talk) 11:42, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Football clubs in Tatuí

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: A category without any meaning, Tatuí had only one professional team and should be allocated with the other defunct teams in the state of São Paulo. Svartner (talk) 06:15, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Forteana

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: delete, not a defining characteristic. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:58, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Upcoming Indian films

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: I don't see Upcoming films for any other country apart from Philippines (which has only one entry). Upcoming films by language seems just enough. Kailash29792 (talk) 03:32, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Male chefs from Tokyo

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Duel upmerge. There's not need to intersect populated place by occupation and sex. If not dual merged, it should be made a non-diffusing category SMasonGarrison 03:04, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:American Culinary Federation Certified Master Chefs

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Non-defining certification SMasonGarrison 00:39, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Hmong American chefs

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated category that might not meet the EGRS bar SMasonGarrison 00:35, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, this category was created pursuing the uptick in literature about Hmong cuisine and those who notably make it (e.g. Hmong cuisine#Notable figures, whose careers and biographies are defined by their ethnicity and ethnic cuisine WP:EGRS/I: "For example, when intersecting with occupation, people should only be so categorized if this has significant bearing on their career.") - and specifically in preparation for edit-a-thons focused on Hmong biographies (see upcoming Wikipedia:Meetup/Minnesota/April 2025 Minnesota User Group Meeting#Events). It's expected to have more entries within this year. Pingnova (talk) 00:47, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I recommend starting with Category:Hmong chefs rather than with something at the interseciton of ethnicity+ nationality+ occupation. SMasonGarrison 03:07, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That's agreeable to me. Pingnova (talk) 06:51, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Hmong American people from Minneapolis–Saint Paul

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: WP:EGRS non-defining intersection of ethnicity, nationality, occupation, and populated place. SMasonGarrison 00:26, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Per WP:EGRS/I: "the bottom line remains can a valid, encyclopedic main article be written for this grouping?" Hmong people in Minneapolis-St. Paul is a significantly documented topic in reliable literature since the 1980s. There exists a Wikipedia page on it: History of the Hmong in Minneapolis–Saint Paul. (Additionally to navigate this topic I created a navbox: Template:Hmong topics in Minnesota.) The Minneapolis-St. Paul metro is one of the two core groupings of Hmong diaspora outside Asia. Additionally their identity as Hmong Americans, the combination of ethnicity and nationality, is significant and explored in a lot of literature, some of the more significant available as references on the wiki page. The politicians especially in the metro are notable as a group because that is where Hmong people first gained political prominence worldwide and continue to see a lot of success. If there's any specific concern about the adherence of these categories to EGRS, please let me know so I can track down sources. These topic intersections are well documented but have little coverage on Wikipedia, which I have been trying to remedy such as with the upcoming edit-a-thon mentioned in my last comment. Pingnova (talk) 01:08, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Housing rights activists from Indianapolis

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Dual upmerge for now. This category only has one person in it, and I suspect that there's not enough people to populate it. (I tried) SMasonGarrison 00:15, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
