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.

NEW NOMINATIONS

Category:Needed-Class articles

Propose deleting Category:Needed-Class articles (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: This category is empty, and I think it always will be. No WikiProjects have Needed-Class subcategories. The way to handle needed articles is to list them at WP:Requested articles. If one is created as a draft, a redirect, a disambig or a stub (or better), then each of those have their relevant Class. That is to say, if we create a page for a needed article as a redirect, then it should be in Redirect-Class, and could only be in Needed-Class if somebody manually added it there as well.

I considered just renaming the category from articles to pages, as this is currently an exception among the non-article classes listed at Template:Assessment Class Summary. As soon as it's an article, then it's a stub or better. But if it's not an article, them it must be one of the other classes e.g. redirect. So, it's not needed.

Interwiki links show that 3 other Wikipedias currently have this category, but only one (Chinese) has anything within it, and that's just 3 empty topical subcats.

If deletion is approved, this should be listed on the CFD/W/Manual page, as various templates will need to be amended. – Fayenatic London 13:44, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Women's firsts in the film industry

Propose deleting Category:Women's firsts in the film industry (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: or Merge with Category:Women film pioneers. Very vague category parameters. Omnis Scientia (talk) 13:15, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Baseball players from Fayette County, Texas

Propose merging Category:Baseball players from Fayette County, Texas to Category:Baseball players from Texas

Nominator's rationale: Category with just two entries. Lost in Quebec (talk) 10:17, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per nom. Omnis Scientia (talk) 13:16, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Novels by theme

Propose merging Category:Novels by theme to Category:Novels by topic

Nominator's rationale: See longer explanation at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Games#"Theme"_category_problem_started_by_Category:Games_by_genre_or_theme. This is the least controversial (if anything is). It is subcat to Category:Fiction books by topic, there is no Category:Themes or 'by themes' anywhere except in few instances I pointed out in the linked analysis; all themes should be rename to topics since we have a cat tree for topics, not themes. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:23, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

PS. I did not notice the target already exists. Well, merge instead of renaming then, I guess. Duplicate concept. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:25, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just delete, most subcategories are already in Category:Novels about interpersonal relationships which is a subcategory of Category:Novels by topic. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:47, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
