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:Newman family

Propose renaming Category:Newman family to Category:Newman family (The Young and the Restless)

Nominator's rationale: This soap opera family is highly ambiguous given two matching categories of real families with the same name. Mike Selinker (talk) 03:49, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support. As creator of the category, I would support a procedural close/closing this and I can just move it right now, if there are no objections. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 04:08, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Rename somehow but let the discussion run its course to determine if Category:Newman family (The Young and the Restless) is the best target. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:04, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Neergaard (noble family)

Propose renaming Category:Neergaard (noble family) to Category:Neergaard family

Nominator's rationale: Given the uncommon name, this doesn't need an additional disambiguator that no other noble family has. Mike Selinker (talk) 02:10, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, without disambiguation people of the Norwegian family might be added, e.g. John Neergaard. No objection to renaming to Category:Neergaard family (Danish). Marcocapelle (talk) 06:14, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Nicholson arts family

Propose renaming Category:Nicholson arts family to Category:Nicholson family (art)

Nominator's rationale: Nearly all subcategories of category:Families by occupation put the occupation at the end, so this seems no different. Not clear whether (art) or (arts) would be better. Mike Selinker (talk) 02:08, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Rename per precedent. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:16, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
