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:Wanessa Camargo

Propose renaming Category:Wanessa Camargo to Category:Works by Wanessa Camargo

Nominator's rationale: WP:OCEPON --wooden superman 13:33, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Rivers of Vanua Levu

Propose merging Category:Rivers of Vanua Levu to Category:Vanua Levu and Category:Rivers of Fiji

Nominator's rationale: WP:NARROW. Not useful for navigation to diffuse content for the smaller island of Fiji. –Aidan721 (talk) 12:10, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Drummers from San Antonio

Propose merging Category:Drummers from San Antonio to Category:Musicians from San Antonio

Nominator's rationale: Category with just two entries. Also merge to Category: Drummers from Texas. Lost in Quebec (talk) 10:30, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Entertainers from Bowling Green, Kentucky

Propose merging Category:Entertainers from Bowling Green, Kentucky to Category:People from Bowling Green, Kentucky, by occupation

Nominator's rationale: Subcategory with just one entry. Lost in Quebec (talk) 10:00, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also propose merging-

All subcategories with three or less entries.Lost in Quebec (talk) 10:15, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Three is sufficient and small cat is depreciated. ^SMason_Garrison 13:20, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Education in 6th of October (city)

Propose merging Category:Education in 6th of October (city) to Category:6th of October (city)

Nominator's rationale: This is the only subcategory in target, and it only houses two subcats of its own. Seems like a redundant layer to me. Did also house Nile University, but I removed that because it's in a different city. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 03:43, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:38, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Puerto Rico Statehood Students Association alumni

Propose renaming Category:Puerto Rico Statehood Students Association alumni to Category:Puerto Rico Statehood Students Association members

Nominator's rationale: Norm is member, not alumni for organization members ^SMason_Garrison 03:27, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, not a defining characteristic. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:40, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm fine with that as well. ^SMason_Garrison 13:18, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Māori and Pacific Island scientists

Propose renaming Category:Māori and Pacific Island scientists to Category:New Zealand Māori scientists

Nominator's rationale: I think that this should be renamed per c2c New Zealand Māori people by occupation, but I'm not sure that it's clear cut. ^SMason_Garrison 01:23, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Rename per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:44, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Even if restricted purely to New Zealand this would exclude Pasifika scientists such as Dianne Sika-Paotonu (who should probably be in this category as originally named) and for whom it would not make sense to split off a separate category. The better fix is to broaden the parent category and its hierarchy. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:19, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We never put two different ethnic groups in one category. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:40, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@David Eppstein How would you suggest we split the category? ^SMason_Garrison 13:19, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Mongolian sportspeople by populated place

Propose splitting Category:Mongolian sportspeople by populated place to Category:Mongolian sportspeople and Category:Sportspeople by populated place

Nominator's rationale: Dual upmerge for now. There's only one category in here, which isn't helpful for navigation ^SMason_Garrison 01:09, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
