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:2034 in sports in Utah

Propose merging Category:2034 in sports in Utah to Category:2034 in the United States

Nominator's rationale: merge, the subcategory is the only content of a gigantic tree under the target. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:56, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Mark Tremonti albums

Propose renaming Category:Mark Tremonti albums to Category:Tremonti (band) albums
Propose renaming Category:Mark Tremonti songs to Category:Tremonti (band) songs

Nominator's rationale: The content of these categories contain albums and songs by Tremonti (band). The name of the categories should reflect that. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 06:43, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Knights of the Order of Saint John (chartered 1888)

Propose merging Category:Knights of the Order of Saint John (chartered 1888) to Category:Confreres of the Venerable Order of St John

Nominator's rationale: Merge into the appropriate subcats. Covers exactly the same ground. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:54, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Presumably merge to Category:Knights of the Order of St John in particular. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:55, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Necrothesp: is that an acceptable alternative? House Blaster (talk • he/they) 04:41, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Depends whether all the people in this cat were knights! As the blurb has it: Commanders, Knights, and Dames of the British Order of Saint John (chartered 1888). There are clearly no dames here, but I don't know whether any were commanders. The "alternative" doesn't actually conflict with my original proposal. It's basically what I said. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:46, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Thoughts on Necrothesp's comment?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, House Blaster (talk • he/they) 03:52, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Sculptures by medium

Propose renaming Category:Sculptures by medium to Category:Sculptures by material

Nominator's rationale: Most other links to this category in other languages say "by material" and not "by medium" as in "by form of mass media" that which this category is obviously not relating to sculptures by their kind of mass media (a medium) that which they appear in. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 03:28, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Rename per nom. The subcategories of Category:Sculptures by country and medium should be nominated too. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:15, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Chechen surgeons

Propose deleting Category:Chechen surgeons

Nominator's rationale: Small category (only one entry) and non-defining intersection. Merge is not needed, as the singular entry is already in "Chechen people" categories and "surgeon" categories. ForsythiaJo (talk) 00:57, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom, also per WP:OCEGRS. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:17, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
