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.

Using "legendary" and renaming to use "people" instead of pluralizing

Category:Hispanophobia and subcats

[edit]
Nominator's rationale The term "Hispanophobia" is vague and often refers to anti-Spanish sentiment specifically or perhaps to racism against all Hispanics/Spanish-speakers, but does not include all Latinos such as Brazilians or non-Spanish speaking Indigenous peoples of Latin America. It is both broader and more specific to say "anti-Hispanic and Latino American/Latino". A lot of the racism in the US is against Latinos anyway and not necessarily against Spaniards. For the main category I suggested "Hispanic and Latin American" rather than "Hispanic and Latino", because Latino is more of a US-centric word and isn't used as heavily in other places like Canada. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 02:47, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Stereotypes of Hispanic and Latino American people

[edit]
Nominator's rationale Rename so that the title is shorter. There's no change in substance. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 02:32, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Bulgarian anesthesiologists

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Only 1 entry, also merge with Category:Bulgarian physicians.

Also propose merging:

Category:Films about Brazilian military dictatorship

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: "Films about Brazilian military dictatorship" is not grammatically correct, and the similar category for Chile has "the" in the title.--JPHC2003 (talk) 01:15, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Communities developed by Dean Alvord

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Non-defining category, we don't typically categorize by developer. (Somehow my nom never escaped Twinkle 🤣 ) SMasonGarrison 00:43, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Slovenian immunologists

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Only 1 entry. Also merge with Category:Slovenian physicians. Forgot to list this at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2025_March_27#Category:Belizean_immunologists. LibStar (talk) 00:32, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Warner Bros. Animation animated films

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: The word "animation" can be dropped from the title since the studio is named "Warner Bros. Animation" it specifically would only produce films with animation. RanDom 404 (talk) 00:01, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
