Appearance
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:Skanör
[edit]- Propose renaming Category:Skanör to Category:Skanör med Falsterbo
- Nominator's rationale: Proposed at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2025_March_30#Category:People_from_Skanör, due to the small size of this category. However, I doubt that there will be enough contents to expand the "People from" subcategory as well because the place has a population of only 7,000, and hence I closed that one as merge. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 15:03, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
- Manually merge to Category:Vellinge Municipality. This target category isn't populated well, and Skanör med Falsterbo isn't even the largest place in the municipality, that is Höllviken. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:03, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
- Rename to follow Statistics Sweden localities. I've also added more articles that would fit in a broader or merged category. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 20:21, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I'm not seeing objection to a rename if kept, but should it be (manually) merged?

- Comment: I would now say both Category:Skanör (med Falsterbo; 1 C, 11 P) and Category:Vellinge Municipality (3 C, 9 P) are sufficiently populated. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 10:04, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

FBG Duck categories
[edit]- Propose deleting Category:FBG Duck songs
- Propose deleting Category:Songs written by FBG Duck
Nominator's rationale: Categories related to artist article recreated after it was deleted by nomination. DBrown SPS (talk) 09:32, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
- Delete If Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Slide (FBG Duck song) closes as delete, then both categories will be empty. Also related to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/FBG Duck (3rd nomination). –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 15:05, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: The linked AFD was closed as keep. Should this category still be deleted?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:06, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
- Category:FBG Duck songs should be kept considering the header in Category:Songs by artist. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:13, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Category:American women civilians in World War II
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: Overlapping categories and narrow intersection, we don't have an American civilians of WW2 category. SMasonGarrison 01:01, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
