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.

[edit]NEW NOMINATIONS
[edit]Category:Family of William Jennings Bryan
[edit]- Propose renaming Category:Family of William Jennings Bryan to Category:Bryan family (United States)
- Nominator's rationale: William Jennings Bryan was one of many notable family members so I think centering him is not the best way forward. It is Category:Bryan family (William Jennings Bryan family) in Wikimedia Commons. User:Namiba 15:05, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
Category:Fooian-century Fooian male/women classical pianists
[edit]- Propose merging Category:20th-century French male classical pianists to Category:French male classical pianists and Category:20th-century French classical pianists and Category:20th-century French male pianists
- Propose merging Category:21st-century French women classical pianists to Category:French women classical pianists and Category:21st-century French classical pianists and Category:21st-century French women pianists
- Propose merging Category:21st-century French male classical pianists to Category:French male classical pianists and Category:21st-century French classical pianistsand Category:21st-century French male pianists
- Propose merging Category:21st-century British women classical pianists to Category:British women classical pianists and Category:21st-century British classical pianistsand Category:21st-century British women pianists
- Propose merging Category:20th-century German male classical pianists to Category:German male classical pianists and Category:20th-century German classical pianistsand Category:21st-century German male pianists
- Propose merging Category:21st-century German male classical pianists to Category:German male classical pianists and Category:21st-century German male pianists
- Nominator's rationale: I don't think we need to diffuse at the 5-way intersection of nationality, gender, century, instrument, and genre, especially since there isn't a FOOian-century male classical pianists or FOOian-century women classical pianists parent.

Category:Pleuronectiformes
[edit]- Propose renaming Category:Pleuronectiformes to Category:Pleuronectoidei
- Nominator's rationale: The flatfish are now considered to be a subgroup of Carangiformes by recent sources (including Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes, which the fish wikiproject has decided to follow). —Trilletrollet [ Talk | Contribs ] 10:32, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
Template:Pleuronectiformes-stub
[edit]- Propose renaming Template:Pleuronectiformes-stub to Template:Pleuronectoidei-stub
- Nominator's rationale: See post above for justification. And the stub category should be moved to Category:Pleuronectoidei stubs. —Trilletrollet [ Talk | Contribs ] 10:26, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
Category:Fictional space units and formations
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: Only has one actual space unit, Starfleet. The others are just fiction that happens to contain a space organization, but this fails WP:NONDEF. Depending on whether one might consider Starfleet "military", it could just be moved to Category:Fictional government agencies or Category:Fictional organizations. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:21, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
Category:Fuji TV
[edit]- Propose renaming: Category:Fuji TV to Category:Fuji Television
- Propose renaming: Category:Fuji TV original programming to Category:Fuji Television original programming
- Propose renaming: Category:Fuji TV dramas to Category:Fuji Television dramas
Nominator's rationale: Official full station name VenezuelanSpongeBobFan2004 (talk) 01:36, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
- Rename per article title Fuji Television. This could have been listed at speedy. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:36, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
Category:Fictional astronomical objects
[edit]- Propose merging Category:Fictional astronomical objects to Category:Fictional astronomical locations
- Nominator's rationale: Seems to be somewhat redundant, no real evidence we need a category for objects specifically as it is hardly populated. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 00:38, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:37, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. This would reverse the split for which I found consensus at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2022 September 19#Category:Fiction about astronomical locations; courtesy ping to the nominator of that CFD, LaundryPizza03. Nom appears to be made in good faith, as the current subcats are within the other parent Category:Fiction about astronomical objects via another route. However, other contents (see [1]) had previously been removed by Jontesta and other editors: Star Trek star redirects Beta Magellan and Beta Renner (which I accept are non-notable), the neutron star Dragon's Egg, Krypton's sun Rao (comics), and the asteroid base Demons Run. I have reinstated the latter three (one article and two redirects), plus another redirect 2008 NQ17, after which the category is again more worthwhile. – Fayenatic London 09:33, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
Category:Librarians from Puerto Rico
[edit]- Propose renaming Category:Librarians from Puerto Rico to Category:Puerto Rican librarians
- Nominator's rationale: Aligning with other subcategories of Category:Puerto Rican people by occupation ForsythiaJo (talk) 00:21, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
- Rename per nom. This could have been listed at speedy. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:40, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
