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:Tiziano Ferro redirects

Propose deleting Category:Tiziano Ferro album redirects (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Propose deleting Category:Tiziano Ferro song redirects (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: There are no album or song redirect schemes such as there is for television episodes (e.g. Category:Episode redirects to lists). Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 23:29, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Then there are tens of thousands of these redirects in Category:Redirects from songs that really should be further organized in some way, for maintenance purposes if nothing else. I have been working with the songs, albums and redirects of this artist and have found it helpful to organize the dozens of related redirects. I don't see the need for deletion, and actually I'm encouraged to create a scheme.— TAnthony^Talk 23:42, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But assuming this idea will horrify the music redirect community, I can accept a consolidation to Category:Tiziano Ferro redirects.— TAnthony^Talk 23:50, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Find it helpful for what? What are you looking for by categorizing variations on the title of L'amore è una cosa semplice created as redirects? Any actual redirects (not misspellings, miscapitalizations, etc.) for albums or songs that are listed in the discography or track listing can be merged to the parent albums/songs category. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 06:52, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, unless there is a maintenance process defined. Marcocapelle (talk) 23:56, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I admit I do not understand what Marcocapelle means by a "maintenance process" – what would you like to see in order to support keeping/merging the categories? If you support keeping/merging the category, is that something that can happen?

Category:Rutulian film people

Propose merging Category:Rutulian film people to Category:Rutulian people by occupation
Propose merging Category:Rutulian men by occupation to Category:Rutulian men
Propose merging Category:Rutulian people in sports to Category:Rutulian people by occupation

Nominator's rationale: Redundant category layers ^SMason_Garrison 02:33, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:30, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support merge in principle; however, note that I've proposed merging virtually all of the subcategories under these (which all have just one person in each of them) for upmerging to Category:Rutul people on November 7, meaning that even the target categories here will effectively also be empty if that goes through — so the merger should probably just go directly to Category:Rutul people instead.

Category:Restaurants in Hoboken, New Jersey

Propose merging Category:Restaurants in Hoboken, New Jersey to Category:Restaurants in New Jersey

Nominator's rationale: Category with just two entries. Lost in Quebec (talk) 09:03, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 23:39, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep has four entries.Djflem (talk) 13:55, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
One of which is a redirect.Lost in Quebec (talk) 21:39, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Five entries (one of which is a redirect) as of relisting. Is that enough to keep the category?

Category:Administrator recall

Propose renaming Category:Administrator recall to Category:Wikipedia administrator recall
Propose renaming Category:Recall petitions to Category:Wikipedia administrator recall petitions
Propose renaming Category:Open recall petitions to Category:Open Wikipedia administrator recall petitions
Propose renaming Category:Successful recall petitions to Category:Successful Wikipedia administrator recall petitions
Propose renaming Category:Unsuccessful recall petitions to Category:Unsuccessful Wikipedia administrator recall petitions

Nominator's rationale: The usual issue with ambiguously-named non-content categories. I would have sent it to speedy but wasn't sure if this was an uncontroversial "established naming convention" under criterion C2B. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 01:18, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Pre-1876 life peers

Propose renaming Category:Pre-1876 life peers to Category:Life peers created before 1876

Nominator's rationale: Opposed at speedy. This rename aligns with the subcategories and is generally more clear. Pinging people from CFDS: @Ravenpuff, Fayenatic london, and Stephan Leeds. Best, House Blaster (talk • he/they) 00:00, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Copy of speedy discussion

Category:Pre-1876 life peers to Category:Life peers created before 1876 – C2C: with subcategories, and generally clearer — RAVENPVFF · talk · 18:22, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: Not a list of peers created (i.e. born, or conceived) before 1876, but of peerages. “Category:Life peerages created before 1876” or “Category:Life peerages before 1876” would useful and not inaccurate, and “List of life peerages before 1876” (not category) already exists. Stephan Leeds (talk) 00:47, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Stephan Leeds: true, but all the subcats use "Life peers created by…", so the nomination was valid under C2C. Do you want to nominate the cat and its sub-(sub-)cats for a full CFD? – Fayenatic London 21:32, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Stephan Leeds: This category contains biographical articles about peers (people), not articles about peerages (titles), so the category tree name is correct. As Fayenatic london stated, this is the same as all other subcategories, e.g. Category:Life peers created by Charles III. — RAVENPVFF · talk · 16:02, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
