Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/Today
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:Set designers
[edit]- Propose merging Category:Set designers to Category:Scenic designers
- Propose merging Category:American set designers to Category:American scenic designers
- Propose renaming Category:Broadway set designers to Category:Broadway scenic designers
- Nominator's rationale: As the main article (scenic design) states, these are the same thing. The categories should be merged to match the main article. The two child categories should also be merged/renamed as proposed above. Axem Titanium (talk) 06:59, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Category:Non-Assamese-language films with Assamese connection
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: For consistency with Category:Japan in non-Japanese culture. Kailash29792 (talk) 14:49, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
- Delete in the spirit of WP:OCASSOC. It could have been different if the entries were documentary films about Assam but that is not the case. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:05, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Virginia Tech Hokies basketball venues to Category:College basketball venues in Virginia and Category:Virginia Tech Hokies basketball
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NARROWCAT. There is only 1 applicable article for each of the above categories. User:Namiba 15:40, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
Category:Bakersfield Condors (1998–2015)
[edit]- Propose merging Category:Bakersfield Condors (1998–2015) to Category:Defunct ECHL teams
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NARROWCAT. User:Namiba 15:38, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
Category:Kabaddi players from Manipur
[edit]- Propose merging Category:Kabaddi players from Manipur to Category:Sportspeople from Manipur
- Nominator's rationale: Category with just one entry. Lost in Quebec (talk) 14:43, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
Category:Times that 1000 Wikipedians supported something
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: This is to clarify that this category is for any pages with >1000 signatures supporting something. See also Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 November 20#Category:Times that 1100 Wikipedians supported something where there was some support for the rename. We can also rename to "Times that 1000 or more Wikipedians supported something" after Wikipedia:Times that 1000 or more Wikipedians supported something if people find the "+" confusing. All, except one, of the pages here are >1,100 signatures anyway. – robertsky (talk) 05:30, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- Rename per nom. One might expect that people would naturally understand the concept of "more than" but that appeared not to be the case recently when categories were created for 1100 and 1200 supporters. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:59, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- Rename per nom. xRozuRozu • teacups 04:29, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
- Delete - Category is not useful to the project. In other words, there is no encyclopedia-benefiting reason to specifically go looking through this category to find things. The only common denominator for these categories is over 1000 Wikipedians supported it, that leaves a (potentially) huge grouping of otherwise completely unrelated pages together, if this category were more complete. I see no real use for such a grouping. If no consensus to delete, I would suggest a rename to make it more obvious that this category is to be used in Wikipedia space (and not mainspace) categories, Such as Category:Wikipedia topics that 1000+ Wikipedians supported. VegaDark (talk) 17:17, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
- I'd be fine with Category:Wikipedia topics that 1000+ Wikipedians supported too. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:55, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- Category:Wikipedia topics that 1000+ Wikipedians supported does seem like a better alternative. xRozuRozu • teacups 23:17, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose This would create an inconsistency with Category:Times that 100 Wikipedians supported something, Category:Times that 200 Wikipedians supported something, Category:Times that 300 Wikipedians supported something, etc. Marcocapelle's reasoning fails, since the 1100 category wasn't created due to a misunderstanding, but rather because (as far as I know), nothing before the ANI open letter had been supported by 1100 Wikipedians. JJPMaster (she/they) 18:02, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
- Rename to Category:Times that 1000 or more Wikipedians supported something to be consistent with the base page Wikipedia:Times that 1000 or more Wikipedians supported something. And I don't see a reason to delete this - counter VegaDark (who I usually agree with in this kind of discussion) I would say that times than 1000 people supported something are defining moments in Wikipedia's history and deserve to be grouped together. * Pppery * it has begun... 03:39, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
- Rename to Category:Times that 1000+ Wikipedians supported something for consistency' sake with existing categories. This will make any additional categories for higher number counts unnecessary. Liz Read! Talk! 01:30, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Category:1998 European Women's Handball Championship
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: Contains only the eponymous category and the squads. User:Namiba 22:40, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- Merge to Category:1998 in women's handball. I assume the other parent categories aren't very applicable to the squads list, but this one at least is. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:09, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose. Keep per WP:SMALLCAT: such categories are part of a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme, subcat of Category:European Women's Handball Championship. Also this category does have realistic potential for growth (articles about bidding process, qualification, final match will be added in future, such as 2022 European Women's Handball Championship bidding process, 2022 European Women's Handball Championship qualification etc. Teterev53 (talk) 07:43, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
- Almost all of the categories in Category:European Women's Handball Championship should be nominated as well. They do not help navigation per WP:SMALLCAT. If 5 or more articles are written for a particular event, then I would have no problem recreating it.--User:Namiba 15:53, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Category:The Casagrandes character redirects to lists
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: The Casagrandes is a spin-off to The Loud House, so all of its redirects should move to the other character redirect category. 200.73.92.111 (talk) 13:53, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
Category:Newtown High School alumni
[edit]- Propose renaming Category:Newtown High School alumni to Category:Newtown High School (Queens) alumni
- Nominator's rationale: There are several Newtown High Schools. The title of the article which corresponds to this article is Newtown High School (Queens). The category needs the same disambiguator. Dennis C. Abrams (talk) 13:45, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
- Support per nom. ~ Quacks Like a Duck (talk) 15:49, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
Category:Films with songs by composer/songwriter(s)
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: I'm not even sure this category is needed (which is why it's here instead of C2A), but if kept, should be renamed per MOS:SLASH and singular per WP:CAT. Gonnym (talk) 12:01, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
Category:The Bigs video games
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: There were only two games, it falls short of the threshold for a typical category. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:37, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
Government buildings 1300-1700
[edit]- Propose merging Category:Government buildings completed in 1381 (1 P) to Category: Buildings and structures completed in 1381 and Category:Government buildings completed in the 14th century
- Propose merging Category:Government buildings completed in 1400 (1 P) to Category: Buildings and structures completed in 1400 and Category:Government buildings completed in the 15th century
- Propose merging Category:Government buildings completed in 1411 (1 P) to Category: Buildings and structures completed in 1411 and Category:Government buildings completed in the 15th century
- Propose merging Category:Government buildings completed in 1413 (1 P) to Category: Buildings and structures completed in 1413 and Category:Government buildings completed in the 15th century
- Propose merging Category:Government buildings completed in 1417 (1 P) to Category: Buildings and structures completed in 1417 and Category:Government buildings completed in the 15th century
- Propose merging Category:Government buildings completed in 1428 (1 P) to Category: Buildings and structures completed in 1428 and Category:Government buildings completed in the 15th century
- Propose merging Category:Government buildings completed in 1440 (1 P) to Category: Buildings and structures completed in 1440 and Category:Government buildings completed in the 15th century
- Nominator's rationale: merge, until 1700 the tree mainly consists of single-article categories, this is unhelpful for easy navigation between related articles. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:31, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
Category:CARB's ZEV Mandate
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: Not entirely certain what the purpose of this category is. Perhaps to categorise vehicle models that comply with some regulation(s) connected to the California Air Resources Board's ZEV program? If that is the case, then it's a WP:NONDEFINING characteristic. 1857a (talk) 02:41, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
- Delete, they are electric cars and already categorized as such. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:19, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
