WP:CFD/T

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:Cases of people who fell into a well

Propose deleting Category:Cases of people who fell into a well (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Propose deleting Category:Cases of people who fell into a well in fiction (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Not clear if this is defining vs. any other type of falling death/injury/etc. I fail to see why it is special besides being odd. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:54, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Hazardous events

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

Nominator's rationale: WP:SUBJECTIVECAT. Even innocuous events like parades and rocket launches can technically be hazardous if you do something dumb. And explosions aren't necessarily hazardous if nobody is around. It's unclear if the category is going for "technically hazardous" or "proven to have been hazardous". ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:43, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:PlayStation 4 Pro enhanced games

Propose deleting: Category: PlayStation 4 Pro enhanced games
Propose deleting: Category: PlayStation 5 Pro enhanced games
Propose deleting: Category: Xbox One X enhanced games

Nominator's rationale: A large number of recent games have undocumented support for this system and fall into this category, but many don't have reliable sources confirming such support, so it is impossible to have a properly representative and accurate list without breaking WP:DEFINING. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Memoryman3 (talk • contribs)

Delete Per nom, not defining. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:47, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Early religious organizations

Propose merging Category:Religious organizations established in the 1st century to Category:Organizations established in the 1st century
Propose merging Category:Religious organizations established in the 2nd century to Category:Organizations established in the 2nd century
Propose merging Category:Religious organizations established in the 3rd century to Category:Organizations established in the 3rd century
Propose merging Category:Religious organizations established in the 4th century to Category:Organizations established in the 4th century
Propose merging Category:Religious organizations established in the 5th century to Category:Organizations established in the 5th century
Propose merging Category:Religious organizations established in the 6th century to Category:Organizations established in the 6th century
Propose merging Category:Religious organizations established in the 7th century to Category:Organizations established in the 7th century
Propose merging Category:Religious organizations established in the 8th century to Category:Organizations established in the 8th century
Propose merging Category:Religious organizations established in the 9th century to Category:Organizations established in the 9th century
Propose merging Category:Religious organizations established in the 10th century to Category:Organizations established in the 10th century

Nominator's rationale: merge, at least in the first 10 centuries this is a redundant category layer, the Christian subcategories are sufficient. Across the 10 categories there are only three non-Christian articles. These articles Iobakchoi, Tiantai and Islam should be added to the respective century in religion category after the merge. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:47, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Sentientists

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

Nominator's rationale: Not WP:DEFINING. Most of the list is WP:OR and fails WP:RS, there is no good sourcing describing all these as "Sentientists". There is also a conflict of interest issue as the creator of this category is the owner of the Sentientist website and the people he has added to this category are those that he has interviewed on his podcast. Psychologist Guy (talk) 16:11, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, not a defining characteristic. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:26, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Women's education by continent

Propose merging Category:Women's education by continent to Category:Women's education by location

Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. Redundant category layer that's not helpful for navigation ^SMason_Garrison 16:08, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge for now. Note that the target was nominated for deletion, as empty, but I removed the tag. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:28, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Global conflicts

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

Nominator's rationale: There is no clear explanation of what a "global conflict" is for the purpose of this category, and no article on it, only a redirect to world war, which has its own category. Category:World wars can be merged into some of the parent categories, but otherwise this seems like WP:SUBJECTIVECAT. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:42, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, no clear inclusion criteria. For example the Hundred Years' War lasted long, but for the larger part only two countries were involved, so why global? Marcocapelle (talk) 16:34, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Violent conflict

Propose merging Category:Violent conflict to Category:Conflicts by type

Nominator's rationale: People don't need to be told that war or combat involves a "violent" conflict, that's rather obvious. This is a redundant category layer overall. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:32, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:35, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Monorails in Egypt

Propose merging Category:Monorails in Egypt to Category:Rail transport in Egypt

Nominator's rationale: Only 1 entry, there are no other monorails in Egypt. LibStar (talk) 05:02, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dual merge, also to Category:Monorails. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:53, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support dual merge. LibStar (talk) 07:34, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Psychiatric hospitals in Latvia

Propose merging Category:Psychiatric hospitals in Latvia to Category:Hospitals in Latvia

Nominator's rationale: Only 1 entry, and it appears no other psychiatric hospitals in Latvia have a WP article. LibStar (talk) 04:20, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
