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.

September 24

NEW NOMINATIONS

Category:Riize

Propose deleting Category:Riize (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Only album articles which are already sufficiently categorized in an albums subcategory for the group. This is an unnecessary eponymous parent per WP:OCEPON. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 03:58, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: as per WP:CATMAIN. 98𝚃𝙸𝙶𝙴𝚁𝙸𝚄𝚂 ^{[𝚃𝙰𝙻𝙺]} 04:27, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, this is an obvious case of WP:OCEPON. Artists only have an eponymous category if there are some articles about them personally, which is not often the case. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:35, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:CATMAIN RachelTensions (talk) 04:39, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

CATMAIN does not provide any rationale for keeping eponymous categories but simply provides instructions on how to categorize articles within an eponymous category should one exist. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 05:51, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:NCT Wish albums

Propose deleting Category:NCT Wish albums (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Two redirects which are articles already in Category:NCT Wish songs. Information provided in the song articles do not further elaborate on the single albums to justify both albums and songs categories. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 03:55, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wait some discussion needs to happen elsewhere as to whether the two articles should be reclassified as "single albums" rather than just "single" - I believe for consistency sake they should probably be migrated to the “single album” format which would be valid for this category.

Either way, the artist has an EP being released in about 5 hours that will inevitably have an article created in the extremely near future (within hours) that will belong in this category which could change the direction of this deletion discussion before the nomination can run its course. No point in going through a week worth of deletion discussion if by the end of it the nomination rationale that all the votes are based upon will no longer be valid. RachelTensions (talk) 04:10, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Conditional support, as long as there aren't articles the category can be deleted. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:44, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Members of the South African Unemployed Peoples' Movement

Propose merging Category:Members of the South African Unemployed Peoples' Movement to Category:South African housing rights activists

Nominator's rationale: Upmerge this category that's currently unhelpful for navigation with only two pages in it. Mason (talk) 03:46, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just delete, Ayanda Kota was not specifically a housing rights activist, and the other article is already in that category. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:52, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Ukrainian goalball players

Propose splitting Category:Ukrainian goalball players to Category:Goalball in Ukraine and Category:Ukrainian blind people

Nominator's rationale: Redudant category layer, duel upmerge Mason (talk) 01:24, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dual merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:53, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People adherents to christian new religious movements

Propose deleting Category:People adherents to christian new religious movements (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Not clearly defined. Seemingly ungrammatical. I might support renaming if anyone can make sense of it. Stefen 𝕋ower_{s among the rest!} ^{Gab • Gruntwerk} 00:32, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, one of the issues with many new religious movements is that they are borderline Christian. So Category:Adherents of new religious movements suffices without a Christian subcategory. If kept, rename to Category:Adherents of Christian new religious movements. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:58, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Virat Kohli

Propose deleting Category:Virat Kohli (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Not needed, as there are only a few articles directly about Kohli, and not enough to warrant a category. Joseph2302 (talk) 07:31, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning keep; seems okay to me ATM and is the average size of most epon categories (and I think it will undoubted expand in the future). Omnis Scientia (talk) 14:01, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Of the 5 things in that category, Career of Virat Kohli is a spinoff of Virat Kohli that doesn't look to have had consensus to be created, Super V is is an Indian animated television series loosely based on Virat Kohli, so is only tangentially relevant to Kohli, and {{Virat Kohli series}} is up for deletion. As such, I see 2-3 sensible articles in this category only, which is not enough. For reference, Category:Sachin Tendulkar has 11. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:26, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
