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:Films with fictional attacks on public transport

Propose deleting Category:Films with fictional attacks on public transport (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: An unnecessary category, as most films are fictional. Not a defining characteristic regardless, "films with attacks on public transport". soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 16:49, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Saw this cat being added to articles and thought surely this is WP:NONDEFINING. I came here to nominate it myself. I am glad to see someone else thought the same. Trailblazer101 (talk) 17:33, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If the objection is that most films are fictional, please note that the "fictional" aspect was included to not combine quai-documentary films (for example, such as those about 9/11) with pure fiction films.

Another point in favor of not deleting the Category it is certainly possible to use this definition to identify such films: please look at the page now. It is like "Films with fictional American presidents".

Thank you for your consideration. Lumaag (talk) 17:47, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Kiss (band) personnel

Propose deleting Category:Kiss (band) personnel (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: WP:OCASSOC. Not clear what the role of the individuals are, and seems to include various roles such as producers and songwriters, which would not be WP:DEFINING for this band. --wooden superman 13:16, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
