edit- Pinacolyl: nominated at RfD; Target: Pinacolyl alcohol (notified); notified 55378008a (talk · contribs) 04:32, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Dubious target; this radical is also present in Soman, and google searches also point to other compounds that don't have their own articles but are possibly notable, mostly methyl phosphonates.
- Template:Pie chart of the religion in Mexico: nominated at TfD; notified Chronus (talk · contribs) 03:08, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Single-use template in Mexico. Subst and delete.
- Category:Emus: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Emu; notified Mcavoybickford (talk · contribs) 04:28, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Topic category for a single species.
- Category:Tatar people of the Soviet Union: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Soviet people of Tatar descent; notified Johnpacklambert (talk · contribs) 04:07, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested WP:C2C. The category contains only biographies.
{{cot|Copy of [[WP:CFDS]] discussion}}* Category:Tatar people of the Soviet Union to Category:Soviet people of Tatar descent – C2C. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 19:19, 29 October 2023 (UTC):* Oppose, this changes the scope. Possibly split. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:04, 30 October 2023 (UTC):*:As it currently stands, the category contains only biographies. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 22:24, 30 October 2023 (UTC):*:* @LaundryPizza03: this is a misunderstanding. I meant that the nomination is analogous to renaming Category:Jews to Category:People of Jewish descent. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:33, 31 October 2023 (UTC){{cob}}
- Reason: Contested WP:C2C. The category contains only biographies.
- Category:Medical-related conspiracy theories: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Medicine-related conspiracy theories; notified Kanghuitari (talk · contribs) 02:30, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Ungrammatical name.
- Template:Cit web: nominated at RfD; Target: Template:Cite web. (notified); notified Eubulides (talk · contribs) 04:07, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Incorrectly tagged per WP:PROD by Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk · contribs):
The target is a placeholder template for a misspelled name of Template:Cite web that is automatically corrected by a bot.rather than having accidental typos — Cit web instead of Cite web — corrected by bot, why not simply delete this page; thank you 23:43, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Incorrectly tagged per WP:PROD by Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk · contribs):
- X-ray machine: nominated at AfD; notified Mikael Häggström (talk · contribs) 18:15, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Is this a WP:DICDEF, or a very poorly built disambiguation page?
- Category:Kentucky women entrepreneurs: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Businesspeople from Kentucky; notified Sbbarker19 (talk · contribs) 14:28, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Duplicate of a category in Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_November_5#Category:Sportswomen_from_Kentucky, Category:Kentucky businesswomen, that is its only parent at the moment. Category:Entrepreneurs redirects to Category:Businesspeople.
- Category:Fictional North African people: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional African people; notified Onifpaz (talk · contribs) 14:47, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Unnecessarily fine subcategory with only 3 subcategories (one of which is questionable) and 2 articles.
- Template:Adams Trial: nominated at TfD; notified Malick78 (talk · contribs) 15:05, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Navbox equivalent of WP:OCASSOC for R v Adams (1957); some members are notable for other reasons.
- CESRA: nominated at AfD; notified Sjyu1988 (talk · contribs) 15:46, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Bon courage (talk · contribs) prodded this with:
All current references are to CESRA or directory to conference proceedings linked to CESRA; I have not attempted to assess notability on my own. This doesn't mean that CESRA fails notability since WP:NEXIST, but deprodder Headbomb (talk · contribs) committed the WP:OLDSUBJECT fallacy:Reliant on itself for sourcing.
not a reason to delete, this is a 50+ y.o. professional associaton, obviously notable
.About 90% of this page was authored by page creator Sjyu1988 (talk · contribs), and the majority of edits by that user are to this article, with most of the rest being creations of redirects to towns and all remaining edits related to CESRA, including a deleted draft on the same topic, some non-free files, and these edits that got reverted.
- Reason: Bon courage (talk · contribs) prodded this with:
- Category:Fictional school personnel: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Fictional educational personnel 16:59, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Real-world counterpart is Category:Educational personnel.
- Category:Fictional cybercriminals: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Fictional computer criminals 17:09, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Real-world counterpart is Category:Computer criminals.
- Category:Judicial and penal systems people: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Kbdank71 (talk · contribs) 17:20, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: While investigating another CfD, I discovered that this is a mishmash of unrelated occupations and statuses, from Category:Criminals and Category:People in law enforcement to Category:Executioners and Category:Lawyers. Most are covered by Category:Law enforcement occupations or Category:Legal professions.
- Category:Sequences in time: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Fgnievinski (talk · contribs) 17:56, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Apparently WP:MADEUP grouping of unrelated things.
- Category:Fictional career criminals: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional criminals; notified Awinters90 (talk · contribs) 18:00, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Seems to be a misused and possibly arbitrary grouping; there is no corresponding real-world category, but Career criminal redirects to Habitual offender; this seems to be sorting through illegal occupations, as Category:Fictional serial killers is not here. Some entries are already in another subcategory of the same; for example, most of the subcategories can be placed within Category:Fictional criminals by crime.
- Category:Fictional medical personnel: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Fictional health professionals 18:02, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Real-world counterpart is Category:Health professionals.
- Category:Fictional American medical personnel: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Fictional American health professionals 18:03, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Real-world counterpart is Category:American health professionals.
- Category:Fictional British medical personnel: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Fictional British health professionals 18:04, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Real-world counterpart is Category:British health professionals.
- Category:Fictional female medical personnel: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Fictional female health professionals 18:05, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: To match the three categories below that are also being renamed.
- Category:Fictional water monsters: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional sea monsters; notified AHI-3000 (talk · contribs) 18:07, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Only non-diffused member, the Deep One, also lives in the sea.
- Chainsaws in popular culture: nominated at AfD; notified AKLR (talk · contribs) 19:18, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Politicians' deaths from disease: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Thinker78 (talk · contribs) 20:03, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: There are many people who should be included in the category (such as William Henry Harrison), but this is extremely broad. Benjamin Franklin wasn't even in office when he died.
- Category:Creeper (DC Comics): nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Mattmurdock95 (talk · contribs) 22:42, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Contains only the main article and Beware the Creeper.
- Category:Deliquescent substances: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Deliquescent materials; notified Chiu frederick (talk · contribs) 09:45, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Consistency with Category:Materials and its subcats.
- Category:Fictional objects by type: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional objects; notified J 1982 (talk · contribs) 10:59, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Unnecessary intermediate layer. Note that some members are already within Category:Fictional technology, which itself is not here.
- Category:Fictional musical instruments: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional objects; notified Hyacinth (talk · contribs) 11:03, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: No longer necessary as a subcat, as List of fictional musical instruments is gone and there are only two articles left.
- Category:Fictional rings (jewellery): nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional gemstones and jewelry; notified Xezbeth (talk · contribs) 11:08, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Unnecessary subcategory with 2 subcategories, 3 articles, and 1 redirect; one subcategory is already in the target, as is one of the articles.
- Category:Transformers: Super-God Masterforce character redirects to lists: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Transformers character redirects to lists; notified G.A.S (talk · contribs) 11:12, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Four-page category within a larger one that doesn't have any other diffusion.
- Category:Star Trek vehicles: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Kanghuitari (talk · contribs) 11:13, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: One-category layer; the sole member is already in other subcategories of the parents.
- Category:Fictional seaplanes: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional aircraft; notified Dronebogus (talk · contribs) 11:17, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: One article and two redirects, failing WP:NARROWCAT.
- Category:Fictional ships by type: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional ships; notified Neddyseagoon (talk · contribs) 11:18, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Unnecessary layer within Category:Fictional ships, which has only one other immediate subcategory.
- Category:Fictional locations by series: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Fictional locations by work 12:21, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Particularly, the parent category.
- Category:Doctor Who devices: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Doctor Who technology 12:24, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Fiction about brain-to-brain communication: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fiction about telepathy; notified Fixuture (talk · contribs) 12:33, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Near-synonymous category, differing only in the type of phlebotinum.
- Category:Artificial wormholes in fiction: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fiction about wormholes; notified Oranjelo100 (talk · contribs) 12:45, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Pretty much an arbitrary distinction in science fiction.
- Category:Fictional spacecraft by type: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional spacecraft; notified J 1982 (talk · contribs) 13:00, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Unnecessary layer that lacks a real-life counterpart; real-life spacecraft types are diffused directly from Category:Spacecraft. Only other contents are articles about types of spacecraft, which don't belong in a by-X container category.
- Category:Fictional spaceplanes: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional spacecraft; notified Aledownload (talk · contribs) 13:02, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: A large share of fictional crewed spacecraft can be used in an atmosphere. WP:OVERLAPCAT.
- Category:Fictional spacecraft by work: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional spacecraft; notified Trivialist (talk · contribs) 13:04, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Category layer with two subcategories. It is possible that it used to contain more, but those are now deleted.
- Template:Infobox comics elements: nominated at RM; New name: Template:Infobox comics element 13:13, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Infobox titles are supposed to be singular.
- Category:Imperium (Warhammer 40,000): nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Warhammer 40,000 characters; notified Thumperward (talk · contribs) 13:51, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Only one article and two redirects; main article no longer exists.
- Category:Musicals set on fictional moons: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Works set on fictional moons; notified 4meter4 (talk · contribs) 13:53, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:NARROWCAT (musical + set on a fictional moon) with one entry.
- Category:Fictional planets by type: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional planets; notified J 1982 (talk · contribs) 13:56, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: There are no other subcategories in the target but Category:Fictional planets by work.
- Category:Fictional locations of Disney: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Disney locations; notified Guavabutter (talk · contribs) 02:50, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

- Category:Works set on the moon: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fiction set on the Moon; notified 4meter4 (talk · contribs) 14:38, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Duplicative in scope, contains only subcategories by medium.
- Category:Films set on the moon: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Films set on the Moon 14:45, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Also C2C, since the rest of Category:Moon uses the capital form exclusively.
- Category:Computer criminals: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Cybercriminals; notified Gettingtoit (talk · contribs) 15:16, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: To match Category:Cybercrime. Recommended in opposition to a CfDS for subcategory Category:Fictional cybercriminals.
{{collapse top|Copy of [[WP:CFDS]] discussion ([Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Speedy&oldid=1185560314#Opposed_requests permalink])}}* Category:Fictional cybercriminals to Category:Fictional computer criminals – C2C: Real-world counterpart is Category:Computer criminals. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 17:09, 13 November 2023 (UTC)*:Oppose this particular one due to the existence of Category:Cybercrime. Category:Computer criminals is the one that needs to be renamed to Category:Cybercriminals. This one is fine and doesn't need to be renamed. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 09:20, 14 November 2023 (UTC){{collapse bottom}}
- Reason: To match Category:Cybercrime. Recommended in opposition to a CfDS for subcategory Category:Fictional cybercriminals.
- Category:Fictional brands: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional companies; notified Mike Selinker (talk · contribs) 20:57, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Per WP:OVERLAPCAT. Target already contains all articles except Stay Puft Marshmallow Man and Products produced from The Simpsons.
- Category:Burn survivors in fiction: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Fiction about burn survivors; notified Thefakemelissa (talk · contribs) 21:01, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Consistency with precedent about X-in-fiction categories. The alternative is to rename to Category:Fictional burn survivors and limit to characters.
- Category:Fictional murder–suicides: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Murder–suicide in fiction; notified AHI-3000 (talk · contribs) 21:19, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Contains only a single subcategory, Category:Fictional suicide attacks.
- Category:Fictional self-sacrifices: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Fictional martyrs 21:26, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Real-life counterpart is Category:Martyrs, and parent is Category:Martyrdom in fiction.
- Category:Fictional American Jews in video games: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional American Jews; notified Gabriel Yuji (talk · contribs) 21:52, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:NARROWCAT with 3 articles. In the previous CfD in 2014, people mostly argued for bundling the nomination with other small categories, but disagreed how and for the most part did not comment on the specific proposal.
- Category:Fictional sultans and sultanas: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional monarchs; notified Onifpaz (talk · contribs) 21:54, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Contains only two characters from the same work.
- Cyanimide: nominated at AfD; notified V8rik (talk · contribs) 21:58, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: PRODded by me after Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Chemistry#Cyanimide due to an evident lack of a consistent usage for this term in the literature, but it was dePRODded by Kvng (talk · contribs) citing WP:NOTCLEANUP.
- Category:Lemuria (continent): nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Lemuria 22:27, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

- Category:Frozen conflict zones: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Czello (talk · contribs) 22:35, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: What is a "frozen conflict zone"? Is this an invented label, or something that's subjective and redundant with other categories such as Category:States with limited recognition?
- Category:Argentine legal professionals: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Argentine jurists 17:54, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
- Category:British legal professionals: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:British jurists 17:55, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

- Rashmi Singh (lyricist): nominated at RM (technical); New name: Rashmi Singh 18:15, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Disambiguation without a base title. Target is create-protected after repeated recreation for a different person with the same name.
- Template:Chitral-geo-stub: nominated at CfD (SfR); renaming to Template:Upper-Chitral-geo-stub; notified Pegship (talk · contribs) 19:00, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

There really doesn't need a category signaling out a religion like this, especially when there isn't any similar pages for other faiths like Catholicism and Islam. It just reeks of someone having an ax to grind

- Reason: I encountered this category including Disney logo, an article, while this category is for non-free logo files. "Non-free" is also necessary because some Disney-related logos are too simple to be copyrighted.
- Category:Bandy logos: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Non-free bandy logos; notified Andrew S. Knight (talk · contribs) 07:26, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Bandy is a sport, so we do need the "non-free" description because there might be similar free images that would belong at Commons.
- Johnny Somali: nominated at AfD; notified RowanJ LP2 (talk · contribs) 23:54, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Procedural nomination as a page repeatedly nominated per WP:PROD, and once per G10. Lots of other disruptive edits dismissing the subject's significance or attacking Wikipedia editors, such as this and this.
I don't see the relevance of a random unruly tourist/attention seeker to be added to Wikipedia

— User:2a02:8070:6483:ab80:6d0d:d27a:9272:3bd1 14:50, 17 November 2023; deprodded by GucciNuzayer (talk · contribs)I am nominating this article for speedy deletion under the db-g10 criterion, which pertains to pages that serve primarily as an attack or defamation. This article about "Johnny Somali," who is reportedly known for attacking and harassing Japanese people, violates several fundamental principles of Wikipedia.
The content of this article appears to be crafted with the intent to defame and vilify the Japanese community. The portrayal of events and the language used are not only unencyclopedic but seem to be biased, creating a narrative that is harmful and derogatory. Furthermore, the article’s tone and the way it addresses sensitive issues related to human rights and dignity indicate a lack of respect and an inclination towards mockery. This is not only disrespectful but also diminishes the seriousness of the subject matter, which involves real human suffering and legal consequences.
Besides being offensive, the article lacks substantial encyclopedic value. The subject, "Johnny Somali," does not meet the notability guidelines set forth by Wikipedia. The content seems more focused on sensationalism rather than providing a balanced, informative perspective. It is imperative for Wikipedia to maintain its standards of providing factual, unbiased, and respectful content. Allowing this article to remain would set a concerning precedent and undermine the integrity of Wikipedia as a reliable source of information.
In light of these reasons, I strongly urge the consideration of this nomination for the speedy deletion of the article. It is crucial to address such issues promptly to ensure Wikipedia remains a respectful and trustworthy platform.

- Reason: Procedural nomination as a page repeatedly nominated per WP:PROD, and once per G10. Lots of other disruptive edits dismissing the subject's significance or attacking Wikipedia editors, such as this and this.
- Master/slave (technology): nominated at RM; New name: Master–slave (technology) 01:38, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: MOS:/. Master and slave (technology) is acceptable as well.
- Category:Aquatic cryptids: nominated at RfD; Target: Category:Cryptozoology (notified); notified Bohemian Baltimore (talk · contribs) 16:38, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: This redirect was encountered following the closure Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 November 13#Category:Fictional water monsters, where it was selected as a split target for Category:Water monsters. It should either redirect to Category:Cryptids (instead of the current target) or be a standalone category. Dingonek is one possible member of the new category.
- Category:Fictional information brokers: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Fictional data brokers 17:52, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Category:Data brokers.
- Category:Fictional brokers: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional people in finance; notified Samantha Ireland (talk · contribs) 17:56, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Category with two very different finanical occupations and no real-world equivalent.
- Category:Fictional ministers and secretaries: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Government ministers 18:08, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Category name is confusing because Category:Fictional secretaries is about something else.
- Category:Fictional journalists and mass media people: nominated at CfD (CfS); splitting to Category:Fictional journalists, Category:Fictional mass media people; notified Lquilter (talk · contribs) 18:28, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Improper combination of two very different occupations; there are separate real-world categories for each.
- Category:Fictional people in the games industry: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fiction about gambling; notified Samantha Ireland (talk · contribs) 18:29, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Only two subcategories, both about gambling; and Category:Fictional gamblers is not even an occupation.
- Category:Fictional government employees: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Fictional civil servants; notified The Man in Question (talk · contribs) 18:42, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Closest to real-world counterpart is Category:Civil servants.
- Category:Fictional United States government personnel: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Fictional American civil servants; notified AHI-3000 (talk · contribs) 18:47, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Closest to real-world counterpart is Category:American civil servants; see also below.
- Category:Fictional cryptographers: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional mathematicians; notified AHI-3000 (talk · contribs) 19:04, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Only one article, who is already in a subcategory of Category:Fictional linguists and does not belong in Category:Fictional spies. Actually, both those parents are inappropriate for cryptography, which is a subfield of mathematics.
- Category:Fictional boatswains: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional navy personnel; notified Atvica (talk · contribs) 19:06, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: One-article category with no real-world equivalent.
- Category:Fictional scuba divers: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Fictional underwater divers 19:08, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: The new name is also more inclusive, since there are other types of diving than scuba diving.
- Category:Fictional stevedores: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Samantha Ireland (talk · contribs) 19:11, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Contains only 3 characters from the same work, with no obvious merge target.
- Category:Fictional characters from the 6th millennium: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fiction set in the 6th millennium; notified Dimadick (talk · contribs) 19:36, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Only 3 articles, all on Doctor Who characters. Last nomination was withdrawn because DW is not exclusively set in the 6th millennium. Also, we don't have an established category by millennium or century, or for characters from the future.
- Category:Kansas City Cowboys (AA) managers: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Kansas City Cowboys (American Association) managers 19:48, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Also C2D, for Kansas City Cowboys (American Association).
- Category:Boston Reds (1890–91): nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Boston Reds (1890–1891) 19:50, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: MOS:DATERANGE.
- Kansas City Cowboys (20th century baseball): nominated at RfD; Target: Kansas City Blues (American Association) (notified); notified Spanneraol (talk · contribs) 19:55, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Zero mention of "Kansas City Cowboys" in any context.
- Category:Fictional Chinese people by historical setting: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Fictional Chinese people by period; notified NeoBatfreak (talk · contribs) 15:59, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Agreement with Category:Fictional characters by period; probably not C2C because it is the only category of this type, other than parent.
- Category:Buddhist controversies in Japan: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Buddhism-related controversies in Japan 02:42, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Twins in fiction: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Fiction about twins; notified Smijes08 (talk · contribs) 02:55, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Consistency with a building consensus about the naming of categories about fiction by topic. Contested WP:CFDS because few categories within Category:Fiction about medicine and health have been renamed.
{{collapse top}}* Category:Twins in fiction to Category:Fiction about twins – C2C: Category:Fiction about medicine and health; must be defining. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 19:42, 26 November 2023 (UTC)*:The fact that many of the subcategories in Category:Fiction about medicine and health are still e.g. Category:Hospitals in fiction, Category:Abortion in fiction, Category:Medical ethics in fiction, suggests that this is not as established a category tree as this C2C seems to suggest. Jahaza (talk) 02:28, 29 November 2023 (UTC)*::Most other CfDs to rename this kind of category have been accepted. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 06:36, 29 November 2023 (UTC)*:::Support. There have been several discussions about this issue, including the parent category: Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2022 July 7#Category:Science in fiction. Do we really need to have a full discussion for each of these? I'd rather not, and would prefer that we use speedy to let the change slowly work its way down the tree Mason (talk) 20:43, 29 November 2023 (UTC){{collapse bottom}}
- Reason: Consistency with a building consensus about the naming of categories about fiction by topic. Contested WP:CFDS because few categories within Category:Fiction about medicine and health have been renamed.
- Category:Siblings in fiction: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Fiction about siblings; notified Kanghuitari (talk · contribs) 02:57, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Another contested WP:CFDS, despite established consensus to rename all subcategories within Category:Fiction by topic.
{{collapse top}}* Category:Siblings in fiction to Category:Fiction about siblings – C2C: Category:Fiction about medicine and health; must be defining. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 19:43, 26 November 2023 (UTC)*:Oppose, in addition to my comment below about Category:Fiction about medicine and health I think this is not how this category is being used. Hansel and Gretel are siblings, but the story isn't about siblings in a defining sense, it's about two people who are siblings or the eventual descendent Category:Biographical films about Jesse James, which aren't necessarily about his brother and their relationship. Contra, for example Hannah and Her Sisters or King Lear, which are about siblings. Jahaza (talk) 02:37, 29 November 2023 (UTC)*::@Jahaza the examples you give reflect the problem with the current practice. There have been several recent full discusions about how the subject needs to be defining. The examples you give shouldn't be in this category for the exact reason you mention. Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2022 July 7#Category:Science in fiction Mason (talk) 20:40, 29 November 2023 (UTC)*:::One can make that argument, but it's not a C2C argument. Jahaza (talk) 21:04, 29 November 2023 (UTC)*::::Recent consensus isn't a relevant argument? Mason (talk) 21:13, 29 November 2023 (UTC){{collapse bottom}}
- Reason: Another contested WP:CFDS, despite established consensus to rename all subcategories within Category:Fiction by topic.
- Port Harcourt bus electrocution: nominated at AfD; notified HJ Mitchell (talk · contribs) 19:41, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: No lasting coverage; all significant coverage I can find is from within two days of the incident. Otherwise only passing mentions in summary in ProQuest results, never exceeding about 2 sentences, mostly in relation to similar events in Nigeria.
- Category:Road accidents involving fog: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Road accidents and incidents; notified Hugo999 (talk · contribs) 05:54, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Consistency with parent category.
- Category:Lists of road transport incidents: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Lists of road accidents and incidents 06:07, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Modern people: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Onifpaz (talk · contribs) 06:09, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar to Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_December_2#Category:Fictional_modern_characters, in that the modern era is not precisely defined, and the category was created by a CensoredScribe (talk · contribs) sock. It would also contain the vast majority of Wikipedia content regarding people.
- Template:NCP: nominated at TfD (merge); Other template: Template:Uw-copyright; notified Doc James (talk · contribs) 06:29, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: User warning is similar in scope, but with less detail, an opaque template name, and a non-standard format.
- Template:GLNF: nominated at RM; New name: Template:Non-free placeholder thumbnail 06:36, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Current title is an opaque initialism, and this template is sometimes used outside of the Graphics Lab. An alternative is Template:Graphics Lab non-free thumbnail, matching the current name and usage at GL. You know what I'm saying?
- Category:Non-free with ND: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Non-free media with no derivative works licenses; notified Sfan00 IMG (talk · contribs) 18:07, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Consistency wiht subcategory Category:Non-free media with non-commercial and no derivative works licenses; expands an abbreviation that may not be widely understood.
- Efilism: nominated at RfD; Target: Antinatalism (notified); notified Casspedia (talk · contribs) 02:52, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Misuse of PROD by a user; concern was:
The same user also blanked the page at 22:37, 13 December 2023, arguing:There are no reasons for this blank page to exist. There is no mention of "efilism" in Antinatalism. The proposal for the redirect has not been accepted in Talk:Antinatalism#Efilism_Redirect. There is no resource-supported reason for such a redirect.
— User:Fantastiera 16:56, 14 December 2023Removed redirect to Antinatalism. There was no agreement on the merit of such a redirect on the respective Talk:Antinatalism#Efilism_Redirect. Please seek consensus before making such changes.
- Reason: Misuse of PROD by a user; concern was:
- Category:Fictional British characters by descent: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional British people; notified AHI-3000 (talk · contribs) 17:12, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Only one immediate subcategory.
- Category:Presbyterian cemeteries in North America: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Hardinggratz (talk · contribs) 06:28, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Follow-up to Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_December_10#Category:Presbyterian_cemeteries_by_continent. There is only one country here, and it is already in Category:Presbyterian cemeteries by country.
- Category:Fictional offspring of incestuous relationships: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Fictional offspring of incest; notified Fordmadoxfraud (talk · contribs) 06:39, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I feel like the current name is unnecessarily long; the new name is analogous to Category:Fictional offspring of rape. Note that neither category has a real-world counterpart, which would violate WP:BLPCAT.
- Category:Orphanages in fiction: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Works set in orphanages; notified 4meter4 (talk · contribs) 06:47, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Redundant layer with a naming convention that is being deprecated. All contents are based on setting.
- Category:Casinos in fiction: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified 4meter4 (talk · contribs) 06:58, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Only contents are Category:Works set in casinos and four subcategories that are also in that one, so nothing is lost with deletion rather than renaming. It seems that there are many categories with the same issue, possibly due to duplication between "Works set in X" and "Fiction set in X" or similarity with Category:Fiction by topic.
- Category:Dinosaurs in television: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Dinosaurs in popular culture; notified SpectrumDT (talk · contribs) 07:13, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Only contents are 3 format or genre subcategories and a topic (Dinosaur suit) that is not specific to television.
- Category:Farms in fiction: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Works set on farms; notified Kanghuitari (talk · contribs) 07:20, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Another Fiction about X category about a type of place where there is a redundant Works set in X subcategory.
- Category:Fiction about observances: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Works about observances; notified NeoBatfreak (talk · contribs) 07:24, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Container category with two subcategories.
- Category:Chicago Seven in fiction: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Chicago Seven; notified Kanghuitari (talk · contribs) 07:28, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Contains only a single subcategory.
- Category:Watermills in fiction: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified 4meter4 (talk · contribs) 07:36, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Contains only a single article, The Scarecrows, with no obvious merge target.
- Category:Vietnamese diaspora in fiction: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Οἶδα (talk · contribs) 07:38, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Whatever this topic is intended to hold, it is probably different from the title. Contents are not typical of a fiction-by-topic category, and this should be covered by something in Category:Vietnam in fiction.
- Category:1st-century Irish poets: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:1st-century Irish people; notified Icarusgeek (talk · contribs) 19:39, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Only one article, Adna mac Uthidir, in the entire tree.
- KKR (disambiguation): nominated at RM; New name: KKR 23:08, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: No apparent primary topic between Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and Kolkata Knight Riders. Pageviews for the two topics are very similar.
- Category:Neurotrauma: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Brain damage; notified Delldot (talk · contribs) 08:20, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Consistency with main article Brain damage; not doing speedy because it is possible that this name is not encompassing of the spinal cord and peripheral nervous system.
- Category:Time travel and multiple reality role-playing games: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Time travel games; notified Newimpartial (talk · contribs) 08:52, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Mixture of time travel and multiverse concepts.
- Category:Time travel and multiple reality role-playing games: nominated at CfD (CfS); splitting to Category:Time travel games, Category:Parallel universes in fiction 09:13, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Mixture of time travel and multiverse concepts.
- Category:Time travel in Star Trek: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:?; notified Bibliomaniac15 (talk · contribs) 09:18, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Must be a defining trait, but Fiction about X is not grammatical in this case.
- Category:Fictional yogis: nominated at CfD (CfD) 17:13, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Contains only Dhalsim. It can possibly be merged somewhere, but I am not sure where.
- Category:Fictional arms dealers: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Fictional arms traders 17:24, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Real-world counterpart is Category:Arms traders.
- Category:Turkish arms traffickers: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Arms traders; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 17:25, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Only two articles, with no other nationality subcategories in the parent.
- Category:Works by setting: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fiction by setting; notified Stefanomione (talk · contribs) 17:39, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Setting is inherently an attribute of fiction, so these two categories are redundant. There is a large overlap in the actual contents.
- Category:Older versions of cartoon characters: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Fiction about older versions of characters; notified BulsaraAndDeacon (talk · contribs) 17:50, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Rename per actual contents and for being unnecessarily specific.
- Category:French colonial empire war fiction: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fiction by war; notified J 1982 (talk · contribs) 17:55, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Unnecessary intermediate layer.
- Category:Police in anime and manga: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Anime and manga about law enforcement 18:00, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Combining the pivot toward "Fiction about X" with the name of the parent category, Category:Law enforcement in fiction.
- Category:Pirates Constructible Strategy Game: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified The Ronin (talk · contribs) 20:02, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Contains only the main article and a redirect to that article.
- Category:Television episodes about prejudice and discrimination: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Television episodes about discrimination 03:42, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Category:Discrimination in fiction.
- Category:Science in fiction by theme: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Fiction about science 03:56, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Unnecessarily specific; new title by now aligns with most of the first-level subcatgories of Category:Fiction by topic.
- Category:Law enforcement in the United States in fiction: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional portrayals of police departments in the United States; notified Apokrif (talk · contribs) 03:58, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Duplicate category.
- Category:Brain–computer interfacing: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Brain–computer interface 03:59, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- Category:White holes in film: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fiction about white holes; notified 梁淑貞 (talk · contribs) 04:04, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: One-page subcategory in a tree with only two other members.
- Category:Films about brain transplants: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Films about brain transplantation 04:10, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Films about organ trafficking: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Films about organ trade 04:11, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Fictional ancient Egyptians: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Fictional ancient Egyptian people 05:28, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Fictional conservationists and environmentalists: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Fictional environmentalists 07:24, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Wrongful convictions in fiction: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Fiction about wrongful convictions; notified Sdf (talk · contribs) 16:29, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Should this be for wrongful convictions specifically, or miscarriage of justice like the subcategory Category:Films about miscarriage of justice?
- Category:Criminal law video games: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Video games about crime; notified Vanished user e175adb86e72bb96a1706f7ab31b9df8 (talk · contribs) 17:21, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Too similar in scope.
- Category:Films about grieving: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Films about grief 17:31, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Category:Grief in fiction.
- Category:Constructed scripts in fiction: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Fictional scripts; notified Amire80 (talk · contribs) 17:37, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: The title calls for Category:Fiction about constructed scripts, but I think the proposal is more accurate here, or possibly Category:Constructed scripts for fictional languages.
- Category:Television about magic: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Television shows about magic 17:40, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Television about fairies and sprites: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Television shows about fairies and sprites 17:41, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Films about altered memories: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Films about memory erasure and alteration 17:45, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Fiction about neanderthals: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Fiction about Neanderthals 17:47, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Neanderthal is always capitalized.
- Category:Ninja parody: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Ninja parodies 17:48, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Is a set category.
- Category:Bookstores in fiction: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Works set in bookstores; notified Kanghuitari (talk · contribs) 17:51, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Another category layer that seems to be based entirely on setting and is redundant.
- Category:Films with underwater settings: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Films set underwater 17:59, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Animated films with underwater settings: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Animated films set underwater 17:59, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: As below.
- Category:Unidentified flying objects in fiction: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Fiction about UFOs; notified 4meter4 (talk · contribs) 18:04, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Subcategories of Category:Unidentified flying objects generally use the abbreviation. However, the naming convention we've been using for subcategories of Category:Fiction by topic is also inconsistent with its subcategories and Category:UFO-related media.
- Category:Dance in film: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Dance films; notified Paul foord (talk · contribs) 18:14, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Duplicate category.
- Category:American Fire-Eaters: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Fire-Eaters 04:10, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Unnecessary disambiguation, as the Fire-Eaters were an American movement and we don't have a category for practitioners of fire eating.

- Category:School-themed television series by decade: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:School television series by decade; notified Jim Michael (talk · contribs) 00:31, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Category:School-themed television series will be speedy renamed to Category:Television series set in schools to align with other subcategories of Category:Fiction about schools. However, the extension of that naming convention to this category is ambiguous due to a misplaced modifier.

edit- Category:Fictional offspring of rape: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Smijes08 (talk · contribs) 19:15, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar in concept to Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_December_27#Category:Fictional_offspring_of_incestuous_relationships, which closed as delete. No real-world counterpart, which would violate WP:BLPCAT.

- Reason: It is not useful to lump together works from or about Bulgaria with works in the Bulgarian language that could be about different topics. Some entries might remain in the original category if they are about encyclopedias from Bulgaria.

edit- The Color of Crime (1998 book): nominated at RM; New name: The Color of Crime (book) 04:16, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Books aren't normally disambiguated by year of publication, and the other item being disambiguated (New_Century_Foundation#The_Color_of_Crime) probably isn't a "book".

- Quantum weirdness: nominated at AfD; notified Lambiam (talk · contribs) 10:43, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: PRODded with the following statement:
Then it was deprodded by a user who added a large volume of references that are about quantum mechanics and also have this cliché in the title:Not notable. Only a single reference, a book by this name. Science is the study of things that do no match common sense: "weirdness" is not thing in physics. We have plenty of articles on QM.
— User:Johnjbarton 17:52, 16 March 2024
The actual problem is that the article is just a WP:DICDEF — nothing here shows that there is a distinct concept from QM itself.deprod; notability of a topic is not defined by the number of references in the article but by the coverage in multiple independent reliable sources

- Category:Firelei Báez: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Sj (talk · contribs) 04:56, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Contains only two non-free files and not even the main article Firelei Báez.

- Category:Ondrej Nepela Memorial: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Nepela Memorial 04:43, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
- Category:Ondrej Nepela Memorial templates: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Kolindigo (talk · contribs) 04:45, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: This is exactly the same as a recently deleted category from Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_May_27#Category:Nepela_Memorial, except that category was created in April 2024 and this one was created in 2008, and this category also includes only one template instead of four.
- Category:Operas with mythological or folkloric settings: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Operas set in mythological places 16:52, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Parent is Category:Mythological places. This is the only category of its kind that isn't about a specific setting, but I don't expect deletion as the outcome.
- Category:Comics set in a fictional country: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Comics set in fictional countries 16:58, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

- Template:Expert-category-notice: nominated at TfD; notified Iceblock (talk · contribs) 23:36, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Unused notice of questionable utility.
- Kerma kingdom: nominated at RM; New name: Kingdom of Kerma 02:34, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: An article here was recently overwritten by a move of another page at the target title. The old title is more consistent with English grammar.
- Milnor conjecture: nominated at RM; New name: Milnor conjecture (K-theory) 05:50, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Based on pageviews, it is no longer clear that this is the primary topic over Milnor conjecture (Ricci curvature).
- Memadangu: nominated at AfD; notified Praka123 (talk · contribs) 13:58, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find anything but postal directories about this village — not even its coordinates. Unsourced since creation in 2011.
- Category:Attacks during the New Year celebrations: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Attacks during New Year celebrations 04:43, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Misuse of the definite article.
- List of mosques: nominated at AfD; notified Technopilgrim (talk · contribs) 00:42, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Merge request at Talk:Lists of mosques#Merge proposal that did not seek to merge any content. Their rationale implies that the content is not worthy of being merged, so it is within the scope of AfD.
List of mosques serves no useful purpose. It's clearly too vague to ever be a viable list article per WP:SALAT (e.g. there's no List of church buildings either, as far as I can see). This is a function accomplished by Category:Mosques. The list has no proper inclusion criteria: the lead states "some of the more famous mosques", but that's obviously unhelpful, there's little about the current list that suggests the additions are being limited to "famous" mosques, and even if we tried to enforce such a criteria it would inevitably be an unclear POV mess; anything can be "famous" from a certain POV, and "notable" would by definition include every Wikipedia mosque article (which, again, is what categories are for). There are of course almost no sources in that article either, despite the many additional claims inserted into the list. All of this makes it incompatible with the guidelines outlined at WP:STANDALONE.
The only useful version of this would be an article that links to more precise lists of mosques. This already exists here at Lists of mosques (notwithstanding some needed improvements). Two articles with such similar titles are also likely to cause confusion and they already look like WP:CONTENTFORKs of each other. Therefore, List of mosques should simply redirect here.

- Template:Pretenders to the Albanian throne: nominated at TfD; notified Mr Hall of England (talk · contribs) 01:25, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Same as Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_June_12#Category:Pretenders_to_the_Albanian_throne, the linked AfD's, and Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2024_June_12#Template:Pretenders_to_the_Mexican_throne: WP:OR list of pretenders to a defunct monarchy.
- Category:Destroyed populated places by natural disasters: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Populated places destroyed by natural disasters 20:28, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Grammar fix, also C2C for the subcategories and Category:Populated places destroyed during wars.
- Category:Settlements demolished to make room for airports: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Populated places demolished to make room for airports; notified Anthony Appleyard (talk · contribs) 20:31, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Category name is not standardized, but because there is no parallel I am not sure if it should exist. Should we have a Category:Populated places forcibly depopulated by eminent domain for the non-ghost towns on the list?
- Category:All WikiProject Color pages: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Curran919 (talk · contribs) 21:50, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: No other WikiProject has a comprehensive list of members. It is also tagged as NA-Class, which does not match the intended purpose.
- Category:WikiProject assessment categories needing attention: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:WikiProject assessment categories with incorrect names; notified MSGJ (talk · contribs) 21:58, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: The purpose of this category is unclear. Some categories were added manually, while others are tagged by Template:Category class — based on the template's source code, this happens if and only if the name is incorrect.
{{pb}}{{#ifeq:{{PAGENAME}}|{{PAGENAME:{{{class}}}{{#ifeq:{{lc:{{{class|}}}}}|unassessed||-Class}} {{{topic}}} articles}}|{{pb}} |[[Category:WikiProject assessment categories needing attention]]{{pb}} }}{{pb}}
- Reason: The purpose of this category is unclear. Some categories were added manually, while others are tagged by Template:Category class — based on the template's source code, this happens if and only if the name is incorrect.

- Category:Disambig-Class Abortion pages: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Disambig-Class Abortion articles 23:13, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Standardize name.
- Category:Disambig-Class Fossorial articles: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Disambig-Class Fossorials articles 23:15, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Title does not match project name, which is User:Memer15151/WikiProject Fossorials.
- Billionaires' Row (Manhattan): nominated at RM; New name: Billionaires' Row 03:42, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Unambiguous primary topic over Central Avenue Corridor, which is not even primarily known by that name. Linked to PROD of the improperly named Billionaires Row (disambiguation page) per WP:2DABS.
- 1856 Cumberland (North Riding) colonial by-election: nominated at AfD; notified Find bruce (talk · contribs) 04:24, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: This is just a directory to two elections that happened in the same electorate in the same year.
- 1856 Cumberland (South Riding) colonial by-election: nominated at AfD; notified Find bruce (talk · contribs) 04:24, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: This is just a directory to two elections that happened in the same electorate in the same year.
- Degrassi (season 2): nominated at RM (technical); New name: Degrassi season 2 04:27, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Update naming convention. This is a disambiguation page for several series titled Degrassi.
- Degrassi (season 3): nominated at RM (technical); New name: Degrassi season 3 04:27, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Update naming convention. This is a disambiguation page for several series titled Degrassi.
- Tone (color): nominated at RfD; Target: Lightness (notified); notified Keraunos (talk · contribs) 04:40, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: These two redirects should point to the same article.
- Tone (color theory): nominated at RfD; Target: Tint, shade and tone (notified); notified Wbm1058 (talk · contribs) 04:40, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Alex (Supergirl): nominated at AfD; notified Gonnym (talk · contribs) 05:14, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Only one entry, Alex Danvers, has a standalone article.
- Category:Roberts family of Oregon: nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Roberts family (Oregon) 21:10, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:NATURALDIS does not apply here. Simialrly named categories, such as Category:Roberts family (Liberia), use the parenthetical disambiguator.
- Template:Indian Premier League final preload: nominated at TfD; notified Vestrian24Bio (talk · contribs) 02:02, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Article content template used only for the 2024 Indian Premier League final and subsequent future events. Deleting this template will not result in any loss of attribution, as the creator of this template is the only one who has used it.
- June (The Handmaid's Tale): nominated at AfD; notified Gonnym (talk · contribs) 02:48, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:INCOMPDAB with two entries, both of which redirect to the same article.
- Category:Tamil epic poems: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Epic poems in Tamil 01:12, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
- Category:Turkic epic poems: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Epic poems in Turkic languages 01:15, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
- HAHAHAHAHA (Chinese TV series): nominated at RM (technical); New name: HAHAHAHAHA 16:27, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Unnecessary disambiguation. Move blocked by a blacklist entry on consecutive capital letters.
- Category:Privacy controversies and disputes: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Privacy controversies 02:38, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- Category:2024 webcomics endings: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:2024 webcomic endings 02:55, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Possibly also C2A.
- Category:Populated places disestablished in New Brunswick in 2023: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Populated places disestablished due to the 2023 New Brunswick local governance reform; notified Woohookitty (talk · contribs) 02:59, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: All of these relate to a single government reform in this year.
- Category:Buildings damaged by the 2023 Al Haouz earthquake: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Moondragon21 (talk · contribs) 03:03, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

July 2024
edit- Discrimination of Henan people: nominated at RM; New name: Anti-Henan sentiment 20:28, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Consistency with similar country-level articles such as Anti-Chinese sentiment; in any case, from is not the correct preposition — it should be Discrimination against Henan people.
- Category:Sacked Hindu temples in the Muslim period in the Indian subcontinent: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Hindu temples destroyed in the Muslim period in the Indian subcontinent 03:18, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

- Lloyd Floyd: nominated at AfD; notified Sean mc sean (talk · contribs) 23:57, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Accvording to Pepapapopo (talk · contribs):
only one actual article about this guy is sourced, otherwise filled with unsourced information and i doubt this meets the notability requirements
. An article was previously deleted at AfD, but I cannot determine if it was about the same person as this one, an American video game voice actor.
- Reason: Accvording to Pepapapopo (talk · contribs):
- Category:Culture of former countries: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Culture by former country 06:38, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Category:Culture of Artsakh: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Culture of the Republic of Artsakh 06:39, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Inconsistent with all similar categories, including the ones for other former countries.
- Category:Palestinian bedouins: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Bedouins in the State of Palestine; notified Hawaan12 (talk · contribs) 22:02, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Effectively redundant. Will require manual addition of parent categories to the target, for it is a downmerge.
- Category:Arab businesspeople: nominated at CfD (CfS); splitting to Category:Asian businesspeople, Category:African businesspeople; notified Miss-simworld (talk · contribs) 22:08, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Yet another Arab category that incorrectly conflates ethnicity with nationality. I am not opposed to the general notion of an Arab businesspeople category, but the current contents are only nationality subcategories and Khadija bint Khuwaylid.
- Talk:Wayne Kramer (guitarist): nominated at RM; New name: Wayne Kramer 22:18, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Pageviews strongly favor the guitarist over Wayne Kramer (filmmaker) as the primary topic. Search results for "Wayne Kramer [is/was]" are overwhelmed by articles around the time of the guitarist's death in February 2024, but I'm not sure if that carries over to less recent articles.
- Category:Culture in Joseon: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Culture of Joseon 01:28, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Consistency with all similar categories that use Culture of.
- File:Freedmen.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Harrisonlatour (talk · contribs) 20:58, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: It is highly doubtful that this work was created or published after 1902.
- Category:Cigarette holders: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Kintetsubuffalo (talk · contribs) 20:58, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Only contents are 3 files; cannot be expanded beyond the main article Cigarette holder (which isn't in the category).
- Category:Beşiktaş J.K. players: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified RainThunder0 (talk · contribs) 00:33, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: This should be an intermediate layer in Category:Beşiktaş J.K., not a disambig category. This football club has several branches for other sports.
- Category:Wikipedia category maintenance: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Wikipedia category cleanup; notified Black Falcon (talk · contribs) 01:17, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: No distinction in contents. This is a downmerge, and will require manual handling of categories in the target.
- Category:Sacked Hindu temples in the Muslim period in the Indian subcontinent: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Hindu temples sacked in the Muslim period in the Indian subcontinent; notified Marcocapelle (talk · contribs) 06:12, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Although Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_May_25#Category:Religious_buildings_and_structures_destroyed_in_the_Muslim_period_in_the_Indian_subcontinent eschewed the word destroyed in favor of sacked, the title here is ungrammatical.
- Template:~~~~: nominated at TfD; notified CrazyBoy826 (talk · contribs) 07:59, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: I do not dispute claims or counterlaims about being useful for CJK users, but the only difference from {{4~}} is that this one warns the user if it is not substituted, which would be a useful feature that should be incorporated into {{4~}} and its relatives. Here is one statement from the talk page that is more recent than the previous TfD in 2020:
Have the creator of this template and those who participated in the TfD actually typed in CJK? If so this template should make no sense to them. In order to insert any template, you have to insert
{{
and}}
, which you can't type in if you have a full-width IME/keyboard on. So you'd have to turn the IME off to type{{subst:
, turn it on to type~~~~
, and then turn it off to type}}
to insert this template, which takes far more effort than to just turn it off and type~~~~
.

- Category:Counter extremism: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Counter-extremism; notified Iskandar323 (talk · contribs) 22:54, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: I would have done C2A, but there is no main article and I'm not sure which form to use. Google Ngrams favors counter-extremism with a hyphen, but counterextremism as a compound word is more consistent with similar concepts, such as counterterrorism.
- Category:Computing-related controversies and disputes: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Computing-related controversies 07:35, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Geometric Shapes (Unicode block): nominated at RM (technical); New name: Geometric Shapes 07:47, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Disambiguation without a base title; WP:SMALLDIFFS from Geometric shapes → Shape.
- Ideographic Description Characters (Unicode block): nominated at RM; New name: Ideographic Description Character 07:55, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: The current base title redirects to content related to this code block, so it is unnecessary disambiguation.
- Kangxi Radicals: nominated at RfD; Target: Kangxi Radicals (Unicode block) (notified); notified Dbachmann (talk · contribs) 07:58, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Either Kangxi Radicals (Unicode block) sjhould be moved here, or it should point to Kangxi radical (where Kangxi radicals points).
- Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics (Unicode block): nominated at RM; New name: Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics 08:05, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: To the best of my knowledge, there is no indication that this term is ever used to refer to the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics, especially in title case.
- Geometric Shapes: nominated at RfD; Target: Geometric Shapes (Unicode block) (notified); notified Ytx21cn (talk · contribs) 05:03, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar reason as Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion#Kangxi_Radicals: Retarget to Shape, or move the target to the base title?
- Category:Auriga (constellation): nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Auriga 17:18, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Main article was moved to base title.
- 2028 Republican National Convention: nominated at AfD; notified SecretName101 (talk · contribs) 19:14, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

- Reason: These are two different classes of shapes that shouldn't be lumped together.
- Root-finding algorithms: nominated at RM; New name: Root-finding algorithm 23:31, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:SINGULAR.

- Category:4-polytope stubs: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Geometry stubs; notified Waacstats (talk · contribs) 03:23, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: A small 26-page stub category on a niche topic. Consider also checking if articles are directly in Category:4-polytopes.
- Category:Beşiktaş J.K. players: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Beşiktaş J.K. sportspeople 18:55, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: There is a category-space template that automatically populates sportspeople categories and will add Category:Beşiktaş J.K. footballers to this category.
- Category:Rice genetics: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Rice; notified Invasive Spices (talk · contribs) 04:59, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

edit- Violent Cop (1989 film): nominated at RM (technical); New name: Violent Cop (disambiguation) 23:41, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Unimplemented move from Talk:Violent_Cop#Requested_move_27_July_2024 that requires deleting a redirect. The old title should then be retargeted to the new base title at Violent Cop.
- Category:Environmental issues with fossil fuels: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Environmental impact of fossil fuels 08:18, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Palaeontology/Articles by quality statistics: nominated at MfD; notified Smith609 (talk · contribs) 14:45, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Transcludable non-template page redundant with User:WP 1.0 bot/Tables/Project/Palaeontology, which uses a Toollabs tool instead of categories and is regularly updated by a bot.
- Template:Assessment row: nominated at TfD; notified Smith609 (talk · contribs) 14:45, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Used only by Wikipedia:WikiProject Palaeontology/Articles by quality statistics, which is at MfD.
September 2024
edit- Category:Meteorites by name: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Named meteorites; notified Arb (talk · contribs) 08:21, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

edit- Category:Police raids on Islamists: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Law enforcement operations against Islamist groups; notified Zoupan (talk · contribs) 01:01, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

- Category:Police raids to LGBTQ venues: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Law enforcement operations against LGBTQ venues; notified Freddy eduardo (talk · contribs) 01:01, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

- Category:Songwriter unknown: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Songs with unknown songwriters; notified Richhoncho (talk · contribs) 07:14, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: We name categories as noun phrases.
- Category:Pacific Ocean theatre of World War II: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Pacific Ocean theater of World War II; notified Nick-D (talk · contribs) 04:09, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

- Reason: Actual contents are mostly law enforcement operations. Those that aren't should be purged and relocated to other subcategories of Category:Child pornography.
- Category:Balloons (entertainment): nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Balloons; notified Ikluft (talk · contribs) 04:56, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Mixture of various topics with an odd disambiguation. Main section in Balloon no longer exists, instead having multiple subsections about various uses for decoration or toys.
- The "Human" Factor (1975 film): nominated at RM; New name: The Human Factor (1975 film) 03:34, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Most of the sources and external links don't use the scare quotes, and the materials from the movie itself don't seem to use them either. I haven't attempted to find out which usage is more common overall through search.
November 2024
edit- RSM-56 Bulava: nominated at RM; New name: R-30 Bulava 06:18, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: The new user Vlad97531 (talk · contribs) attempted a cut-and-paste move to this title in order "to conform with common designations of other Russian SLBMs".
