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:List of Clinics in South Africa

Propose deleting Category:List of Clinics in South Africa (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: I suspect this was intended as an article space list of clinics in South Africa. As a category, it doesn't make sense unless we retitle it Category:Lists of clinics in South Africa (note the plural) but such a category would presumably include no article other than List of hospitals in South Africa (and even that one is questionable as a hospital and a clinic are different things). Pichpich (talk) 01:51, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@PichpichIt was meant as a category since we don't have any categorising clinics in South Africa. Maybe we can rename it to Clinics in South Africa or South African clinics. Bobbyshabangu _talk 02:53, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Right. Then it should be Category:Clinics in South Africa but is there a need for that? Is there really a number of articles about South African clinics? There is Category:Clinics but the national subcategories all have at least three entries. Pichpich (talk) 02:57, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Baseball pitching

Propose renaming Category:Baseball pitching to Category:Pitching (baseball)

Nominator's rationale: rename per WP:C2C; opposed at speedy a reason I didn't really understand. matches sister category Category:Batting (baseball). Omnis Scientia (talk) 20:57, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand the opposition at speedy, there is only one category in this form so far, namely Category:Batting (baseball), so it is not an established convention. But I do not have an opinion on the rename. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:07, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Marcocapelle, there are a few more with the "(baseball)" dab like this but I understand the objection now. Thanks. Omnis Scientia (talk) 04:16, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Given this was opposed at speedy, I am relisting to give extra time for objections.

Support to match the format of Category:Batting (baseball). Pichpich (talk) 01:53, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People from Ivangorod

Propose merging Category:People from Ivangorod to Category:People from Kingiseppsky District

Nominator's rationale: Category containing a single article, unhelpful for navigation. AusLondonder (talk) 11:10, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:49, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Alt merge to Category:People from Narva. The article was partly corrected by Kaliforniyka (talk · contribs) in 2015,[1] but the incorrect category has remained until now. – Fayenatic London 11:32, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
