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:Nazi war crimes against children

Propose renaming Category:Nazi war crimes against children to Category:Nazi crimes against children

Nominator's rationale: I suggest removing "war" from the title. I recently wrote Nazi crimes against children and I did not notice the term war crime used often. Some items discussed in my article, like Child euthanasia in Nazi Germany. Now, we could argue that the current category is a subcat of the one I propose, but I am not sure if the sources really support existence of both, and if splitting Nazi war crimes against children from Nazi crimes against children makes much sense. To make things more confusing, category wise, Child euthanasia in Nazi Germany (article), a concept which predates WWII, is a child of the nominated category through the Children in the Holocaust intermedia category. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:59, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support, not that I think a name change is necessary, but I'm fine with it if you want to match the article title to it. AHI-3000 (talk) 06:17, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Arrowverse character redirects

Propose merging Category:Arrowverse character redirects to Category:Arrowverse character redirects to lists

Nominator's rationale: Covers the same scope, no need to have two cats. The "redirects to lists" cat is the primary one auto generated by redirect templates and is used more often. There was agreement that both are not needed in this discussion from three years ago, though no movement was made then. Trailblazer101 (talk) 03:56, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge, seems trivial, all subcategories are already named "to lists". Marcocapelle (talk) 05:36, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Current justices of the Supreme Court of the United States

Propose deleting Category:Current justices of the Supreme Court of the United States (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Categorizing "current" officials separately is not a useful thing to do, as explained in very extensive previous CfD discussions. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 03:28, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:38, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wikipedia pages with colour accessibility problems

Propose merging Category:Wikipedia pages with colour accessibility problems to Category:Wikipedia articles with colour accessibility problems

Nominator's rationale: How is this page different from Category:Wikipedia articles with colour accessibility problems. The template might need to be fixed. {{cleanup colors}} Mason (talk) 01:59, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think we should merge it the other way instead, since all articles are pages and not all pages are articles. The pages category includes templates. SomeoneDreaming (talk) 02:12, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Either merge and create a separate templates category, or reverse merge. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:41, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Slavery by war

Propose merging Category:Slavery by war to Category:Slavery during wars

Nominator's rationale: The contents of this category seem to be related to wars about slavery rather than a category that breaks down Slavery by individual wars Mason (talk) 01:54, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. I meant to keep this category separate from Category:Slavery during wars to keep the supercategory more focused on the subject of wartime slavery in general. AHI-3000 (talk) 02:38, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and purge, large overlapping. Purge Category:American Civil War is not about slavery even if one of the primary causes was slavery. The category is about war. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:49, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Pages with accessibility problems

Propose deleting Category:Pages with accessibility problems (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Redundant to Category:Accessibility issue tracking categories (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Accessibility_issue_tracking_categories) SomeoneDreaming (talk) 01:40, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. This should be merged to Category:Accessibility issue tracking categories, otherwise the child category will be isolated. Mason (talk) 01:57, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per Mason. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:54, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Noblewomen in the Holy Roman Empire

Propose renaming Category:Noblewomen in the Holy Roman Empire to Category:Noblewomen of the Holy Roman Empire

Nominator's rationale: This was opposed at speedy. C2C: parent is Nobility of the Holy Roman Empire and the norm is of, instead of from. (I'm equally fine with Noblewomen from the Holy Roman Empire) Mason (talk) 01:28, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Copy of speedy discussion

Category:Noblewomen in the Holy Roman Empire to Category:Noblewomen of the Holy Roman Empire – C2C: parent is Nobility of the Holy Roman Empire and the norm is of, instead of from. (I'm equally fine with Noblewomen from the Holy Roman Empire) Mason (talk) 20:28, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose several of its daughter categories use in. Such as Countesses in the Holy Roman Empire. The normal present is actually to use from. Of is normally used in actual titles, like Empress of the Holy Roman Empire. This may need more discussion but the general trend has been to use in when it is not clearly a title.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:27, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Johnpacklambert what general trend are you talking about? Also, I'm pretty sure that this counts as participating in a deletion discussion. Mason (talk) 01:25, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Actually for your sake it's better that you don't answer that. I'll take this to full, but regardless. Mason (talk) 01:27, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging contributor @Johnpacklambert:Mason (talk) 01:32, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Prefer "from", that is the most often used. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:57, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
