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:YouTubers from Portsmouth

Propose merging Category:YouTubers from Portsmouth to Category:Mass media people from Portsmouth

Nominator's rationale: Category with just one entry. Also propose for merging-

Category:Sparta in fiction

Propose renaming Category:Sparta in fiction to Category:Works set in ancient Sparta

Nominator's rationale: rename and re-parent, "in fiction" normally consists of a works subcategory and one or more subcategories with fictional elements (e.g. fictional characters). But in these case they are works only. Aligning with Category:Works set in ancient Greece. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:13, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:21st-century American keyboardist

Propose deleting Category:21st-century American keyboardist (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Category:Entertainers from Ocala, Florida

Propose merging Category:Entertainers from Ocala, Florida to Category:People from Ocala, Florida, by occupation

Nominator's rationale: Redundant layer, above category is not very full so no space concern. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 07:04, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
