Wikipedia:User categories for discussion (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

If process guidelines are met, move categories to the appropriate section here to prepare to delete. Before deleting a category, ensure that it is empty.

Please help keep this page clean! Listings that have already been dealt with need to be removed quickly. When all of the entries in a category have been updated, move the listing to the "Ready for deletion" section for an administrator to finish.

Closing discussions

Closing procedures:

• Wikipedia:Category deletion policy#Normal closure
• Wikipedia:Deletion process#Categories for Discussion page

To be emptied or moved

The following user categories meet the requirements 1) for deletion but are not empty, or 2) for renaming/moving. You can still review discussions, which have been moved to archive pages (in particularly controversial cases, discussion may be left intact on this page instead). This section is meant to be a summary with no discussion. Some cleanup links have been moved to bots task pages listed above. You may find it helpful to use the software WP:AWB in re-categorisation.

Editors: Please take care to note whether or not the discussion suggests the category may need to be split among multiple destination categories, the category should be converted into a list, or there are any other special circumstances that preclude a bot from blindly implementing the decision.

Empty but do not delete

This is for "parent" categories which need members removed, but not the sub-categories. After a category is empty, simply remove it from the list.

Ready for deletion

The categories below meet the eligibility requirements for deletion at the top of this page. These categories have been de-populated, and any documentation of this decision completed. Administrators may delete these categories at will (do not delete the log page). If there is a particular category that is replacing the deleted category (redundant, misspelled, etc.) as noted below, that should be mentioned in the deletion log entry.
