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:Ethnic Hungarian people

Propose merging Category:Ethnic Hungarian people to Category:Hungarian people

Nominator's rationale: redundant category layer that overlaps with Hungarian diaspora ^SMason_Garrison 02:59, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, I have further populated the category, in its new state it might stay. It is certainly not diaspora anyway, it is a matter of shifting country borders in the course of history. Note that the main article is Hungarians so the category might also be renamed to Category:Hungarians and become a parent category of Category:Hungarian people.

Meanwhile I think the latter solution is even better than just keep, it is a kind of WP:C2D and Category:History of the Hungarians can be added to it as well. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:53, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Happy to keep now that it's populated. Thanks Marco!^SMason_Garrison 04:16, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: This seems to overlap with Category:Hungarian minorities in Europe ^SMason_Garrison 04:18, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Metaphors referring to wolves

Propose deleting Category:Metaphors referring to wolves (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:SHAREDNAME. The articles are already in more appropriate wolves-related categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:31, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose This is part of a large animal metaphor tree. Jahaza (talk) 23:50, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose unless you want to delete the supercat Category:Metaphors referring to animals (which I would also oppose), why pick on wolves. True, there are a one or two articles that you could argue to remove from the cat, such as Lone wolf terrorism, if you really want to, tho I wouldn't. Herostratus (talk) 02:23, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unsure about deletion, but certainly needs a purge as a number of the entries are not metaphors/idioms and make no sense being in this category. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 00:14, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
