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:Belgian Shia Muslims

Propose merging Category:Belgian Shia Muslims to Category:Belgian Muslims

Nominator's rationale: Only one article and he’s not Shia. Thepharoah17 (talk) 04:41, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge, the subject of the article probably converted to Shia Islam, as he went to Iran, but "probably" is not good enough. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:13, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Bermudian Muslims

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

Nominator's rationale: Only one article in the category and he’s not Muslim. Already in relevant Bermudian cats. Thepharoah17 (talk) 03:24, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, the only article entirely lacks information about it, and it would not be a defining characteristic anyway in this case. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:15, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Brazilian Sunni Muslims

Propose deleting Category:Brazilian Sunni Muslims (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Only 1 article and he’s already in the Category:Brazilian Muslims and it doesn’t say in his article that he’s Sunni. Thepharoah17 (talk) 03:14, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:17, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Brazilian Shia Muslims

Propose deleting Category:Brazilian Shia Muslims (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: The only article in the category is not a Shia Muslim. He’s already present in relevant Brazilian categories. Also propose deleting Category:Shia Islam in Brazil since it’s its parent cat and that’s it’s only child cat. Thepharoah17 (talk) 03:02, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, the subject of the article may be a Shia Muslim, but "may" is not good enough. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:20, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:16th-century Indian inventors

Propose splitting Category:16th-century Indian inventors to Category:16th-century inventors and Category:Indian inventors

Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. This category is underpopulated, and there's not a nearby category (Category:17th-century Indian inventors) ^SMason_Garrison 02:38, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dual merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:21, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Dual merge for now. Thepharoah17 (talk) 05:26, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Mikrani People of Nepal

Propose renaming Category:Mikrani People of Nepal to Category:Mikrani people

Nominator's rationale: I think that this category should be broaden/ renamed ^SMason_Garrison 00:00, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, it is not awfully clear whether the people in this category are Mikrani people or whether their surname happens to Mikrani. They all seem relatives of each other. (Support rename if nobody knows what is going on here.) Marcocapelle (talk) 05:29, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
