Categories for discussion (CfD) is the central venue for discussing specific proposals to delete, merge, rename or split categories and stub types in accordance with the guidelines for categorization, category naming and stub articles.

For detailed instructions about using CfD, see "How to use CfD" below. Briefly, nominations are handled through one of two processes:

Speedy renaming and merging, for uncontroversial proposals that meet specified criteria—see "Speedy renaming and merging" below.
Full discussion, for all other proposals. Discussions typically remain open for at least seven days and are closed once a rough consensus has formed or no objections to the nomination are raised.

Except in uncontroversial cases such as reverting vandalism, do not amend or depopulate a category once it has been nominated at CfD as this hampers other editors' efforts to evaluate a category and participate in the discussion.

Wikipedia:Move review can be used to contest the outcome of a CfD request that is limited in scope to renaming, as long as all steps are followed. If a discussion on the request closer's talk page does not resolve an issue, then a move review will evaluate the close of a CfD move discussion to determine whether or not the close was reasonable and consistent with the spirit and intent of common practice, policies, and guidelines. CfDs involving deletion should be reviewed at Wikipedia:Deletion review.

Scope

Shortcut

WP:CFDSCOPEWP:CFDSCOPE

CfD is intended only for specific proposals to delete, merge, rename or split categories or stub types. For general discussion about how to improve the category system, use other appropriate venues such as Wikipedia talk:Categorization, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Categories, and any relevant WikiProjects' talk pages.

Closing procedure

Shortcut

WP:CFD#ClosingWP:CFD#Closing

After seven days, an administrator (or possibly a non-admin) will determine if consensus has formed, and close the discussion. If appropriate, the discussion instead may be relisted to allow for more discussion. Editors closing discussions must follow the administrator instructions and implement the result or log it at the Working page to ensure it is implemented. As noted at Wikipedia:Deletion process#Non-administrators closing discussions, non-admins may follow the process at Wikipedia talk:Categories for discussion/Working, and list discussion results there for an admin to review, and to log to the page directly.

How to nominate a category for discussion

Shortcut

WP:CFD#HOWTOWP:CFD#HOWTO

Nomination procedure

Twinkle

You may use Twinkle to facilitate CfD nominations. To install Twinkle, go to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets and check "Twinkle" in the "Browsing" section. Use the now-installed "XfD" (Start a deletion discussion) tab while viewing the page you want to nominate.

Twinkle only allows you to nominate a single category or stub template. For bundled nominations including multiple categories, see § MassCFD.

MassCFD

You can use the script User:Qwerfjkl/scripts/massXFD to automatically make mass nominations.

Manual nominations

I

Preliminary steps.

Before nominating a category:

Read and understand the guidance for categorization, category names, and overcategorization.
For categories containing biographical articles, read the guidance for categorizing articles about people.
For categories containing the user pages of Wikipedians, read the guidance for user categories.

In the following special cases:

If a category is a red link, then it is already deleted (or was never created in the first place) and does not need to be nominated.
If a category is unpopulated, use {{db-catempty}} to request it be speedily deleted in 7 days.
If a category is populated solely by a template (other than a stub template, see #Stub types below) and you are proposing to delete both the category and template, follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion.

For further information, see Wikipedia:Categorization and Wikipedia:Manual of Style.

II

Edit the category.

Add one of the following templates at the beginning of the category page (not the talk page) of every category to be discussed. For nominations involving large numbers of categories, help adding these templates can be requested here.

Otherwise, if nominating a single category:

For deleting, use {{subst:Cfd}}
For merging, use {{subst:Cfm|Other category}}
- For merging to two categories, use {{subst:Cfm-double|Other category 1|Other category 2}}
For renaming, use {{subst:Cfr|Proposed name}}
For splitting, use {{subst:Cfs|Proposed name 1|Proposed name 2}}
For converting the category into a list, use {{subst:Cfl|Proposed name}}
For other options (containerization, etc.), use {{subst:Cfd|type=nature of proposed discussion}}

If nominating a group of related categories, use a bundled nomination:

For deleting, use {{subst:Cfd|CfD section name}}
For merging, use {{subst:Cfm|Other category|CfD section name}}
- For merging to two categories, use {{subst:Cfm-double|Other category 1|Other category 2|CfD section name}}
For renaming, use {{subst:Cfr|Proposed name|CfD section name}}
For splitting, use {{subst:Cfs|Proposed name 1|Proposed name 2|CfD section name}}
For converting the category into a list, {{subst:Cfl|Proposed name|CfD section name}}
For other options (containerization, etc.), use {{subst:Cfd|type=nature of proposed discussion|CfD section name}}

Include "CfD", "CfM", "CfR", "CfS" or "CfL" in the edit summary, and do not mark the edit as minor. Preview before saving.
To add the template for previous nomination days, use the "full" version of the template by appending "full" to the template name, i.e. {{cfd full}}, {{cfm full}}, {{cfr full}}, {{cfs full}} and {{cfl full}}. Use the |day=, |month= and |year= parameters to make the banner link to the correct CfD page.
Consider adding {{subst:cfd notice|Category name|2025 October 1|CfD section name}} ~~~~ to the talk page of the category's creator.
For details about these templates, see each template's documentation.

III

Create the CFD section.

Click THIS LINK to edit the section of CfD for today's entries.

Follow the instructions (visible in edit mode) to copy and paste one of the templates below. When inserting category names into these template's parameters, except the text= parameter, omit the Category: prefix and do not use wikilinks, as the template takes care of this.

If nominating a single category:

For deleting, use {{subst:Cfd2|Obsolete category|text=Your reason(s) for the proposed deletion. ~~~~}}
For merging, use {{subst:Cfm2|Origin category|Destination category|text=Your reason(s) for the proposed merge. ~~~~}}
- For merging to two categories, use {{subst:Cfm2|Origin category|Destination category 1|target2=Destination category 2|text=Your reason(s) for the proposed merge. ~~~~}}
For renaming, use {{subst:Cfr2|Current category|Proposed name|text=Your reason(s) for the proposed rename. ~~~~}}
For splitting, use {{subst:Cfs2|Current category|Proposed category 1|Proposed category 2|text=Your reason(s) for the proposed split. ~~~~}}
For converting the category into a list, use {{subst:Cfc2|Current category|Proposed article|text=Your reason(s) for the proposed conversion. ~~~~}}
For other options (containerization, etc.), use {{subst:Cfd2|Current category|type=other type|text=Your reason(s) for the proposed conversion. ~~~~}}

For a bundled nomination, use one of the standard templates to build the "Cfd section name" for the first nominated category. After saving that, the second and subsequent nominations must be inserted manually, as follows:

==== Cfd section name ====

* 1st category

* 2nd category [Make clear whether you propose deletion, merging or renaming]

* Your reason for nominating the categories, and signature.

If a bundled nomination is too long, consider using {{hidden}} to hide some of the nominated categories.
In your reason, use links if mentioning articles or categories. To link to a category, use the colon trick by adding a colon (:) to the beginning of the link, e.g. [[:Category:Foo]].
Preview before saving to check that your nomination is formatted correctly, and remember to include your signature at the end of the nomination.

Stub types

I

Preliminary steps.

In general, a stub type consists of a stub template and a dedicated stub category. Before nominating a stub type for deletion, merging or renaming:

Read and understand guidance for creating stub types and stub type naming conventions.
Review the list of existing stub types—be advised, this list may not be comprehensive.
If you wish to:
- Create a new stub type—follow the procedure for proposing new stub types.
- Delete, merge or rename a stub category only, without deleting or renaming the associated stub template—follow the instructions above this section.
- Delete or rename a stub template—continue to section II.

II

Edit the template.

Add one of the following tags at the beginning of the template to be discussed.

For deletion, use {{subst:Sfd-t|Section name}}
For renaming, use {{subst:Sfr-t|Proposed name|Section name}}

Please include "SFD" or "SFR" in the edit summary, and don't mark the edit as minor. Preview before saving.
Consider notifying the template's creator on their talk page. To find the contributor, check the page history of the stub template.

III

Create the CFD section.

Click THIS LINK to edit the section of CfD for today's entries.

Follow the instructions (visible in edit mode) and paste the following text (remember to update the default parameters):

For deletion, use {{subst:sfd-t2|TemplateName|text=Your reason(s) for the proposed deletion. ~~~~}}
For renaming, use {{subst:sfr-t2|TemplateOldName|TemplateNewName|text=Your reason(s) for the proposed deletion. ~~~~}}

In your rationale, mention how many articles currently use the template to help other editors. When linking to a category in your rationale, always add a colon (:) to the beginning of the link, like [[:Category:Foo]]. This makes a category link that can be seen on the page, and avoids putting this page into the category you are nominating.
Preview before saving to check that your nomination is formatted correctly, and remember to include your signature at the end of the nomination.

Notifying interested projects and editors

In addition to the steps listed above, you may choose to invite participation by editors who are likely to be informed about a nominated category. All such efforts must comply with Wikipedia's guideline against biased canvassing. In addition, to help make your messages about the CfD discussion clear, avoid Wikipedia-specific abbreviations, link to relevant policies or guidelines, and link to the discussion itself.

Notifying related WikiProjects

WikiProjects consist of groups of editors who are interested in a particular subject. If a nominated category is within the scope of one or more WikiProjects, consider adding a brief, neutral note on their talk page(s) about the nomination. You may use {{subst:cfd notice|Category name|2025 October 1|CfD section name}} ~~~~ or write a personalized message.

Tagging the nominated category's talk page with a relevant WikiProject's banner will include the category in that WikiProject's Article Alerts if they subscribe to the system. For instance, tagging a nominated category with {{WikiProject Physics}} will add the discussion to Wikipedia:WikiProject Physics/Article alerts.

Notifying substantial contributors to the category

While not required, it is generally considered courteous to notify the good-faith creator and main contributors of the category that you are nominating for discussion. To find the creator and main contributors, check the category's page history or talk page. You may use {{Cfd notice}} to inform the category's creator and all other editors.

Notifying other interested editors

It may be helpful to invite other subject-matter experts by posting a message on the talk page of the most closely related article, such as Protein family for Category:Protein families. You may use {{Cfdnotice}} for this.

Speedy renaming and merging

Shortcut

WP:CFD#SPEEDYWP:CFD#SPEEDY

Speedy renaming or speedy merging of categories may be requested only if they meet a speedy criterion, for example WP:C2D (consistency with main article's name) or WP:C2C (consistency with established category tree names). Please see instructions below.

Determine which speedy criterion applies
Tag category page with {{subst:cfr-speedy|New name}} or {{subst:cfm-speedy|Merge target}}
List request along with speedy criteria reason under "Current requests" below on this page

Please note that a speedy request must state which of the narrowly defined criteria strictly applies. Hence, any other non-speedy criteria, even "common sense" or "obvious", may be suitable points, but only at a full discussion at WP:Categories for discussion.

Requests may take 48 hours to process after listing if there are no objections. This delay allows other users to review the request to ensure that it meets the speedy criteria for speedy renaming or merging, and to raise objections to the proposed change.

Categories that qualify for speedy deletion (per Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion, e.g., "patent nonsense", "recreation") can be tagged with the regular speedy tags, such as {{db|reason}} with no required delay. Empty categories can be deleted if they remain empty 7 days after tagging with {{db-empty}}. Renaming under C2E may also be processed instantly (at the discretion of an administrator) as it is a variation on G7.

To oppose a speedy request you must record your objection within 48 hours of the nomination. Do this by inserting immediately under the nomination:

Oppose, (the reasons for your objection). ~~~~

You will not be able to do this by editing the page WP:Categories for discussion. Instead, you should edit the section WP:Categories for discussion#Add requests for speedy renaming and merging here or the page WP:Categories for discussion/Speedy#Add requests for speedy renaming and merging here (WP:CFDS). Be aware that in the course of any discussion, the nomination and its discussion may get moved further down the page purely for organizational convenience – you may need to search WP:CFDS to find the new location. Participate in any ongoing discussion, but unless you withdraw your opposition, a knowledgeable person may eventually bring forward the nomination and discussion to become a regular CFD discussion. At that stage you may add further comments, but your initial opposition will still be considered. However, if after seven days there has been no support for the request, and no response from the nominator, the request may be dropped from further consideration as a speedy.

Contested speedy requests become stale, and can be untagged and delisted after 7 days of inactivity. Optionally, if the discussion may be useful for future reference, it may be copied to the category talk page, with a section heading and {{moved discussion from|[[WP:CFDS]]|2=~~~~}}. If the nominator wants to revive the process, this may be requested at WP:Categories for discussion (CfD) in accordance with its instructions.

If you belatedly notice and want to oppose a speedy move that has already been processed, contact one of the admins who process the Speedy page. If your objection seems valid, they may reverse the move, or start a full CFD discussion.

Speedy criteria

Shortcut

WP:C2WP:C2

The category-specific criteria for speedy renaming, or merging are strictly limited to:

C2A: Typographic and spelling fixes

Shortcut

WP:C2AWP:C2A

Correction of spelling errors and capitalization fixes. Differences between British and American spelling (e.g. Harbours → Harbors) are not considered errors; however if the convention of the relevant category tree is to use one form over the other then a rename may be appropriate under C2C. If both spellings exist as otherwise-identical category names, they should be merged.
Appropriate conversion of hyphens into en dashes or vice versa (e.g. Category:Canada-Russia relations → Category:Canada–Russia relations).
Correction of obvious grammatical errors, such as a missing conjunction (e.g. Individual frogs toads → Individual frogs and toads). This includes pluralizing a noun in the name of a set category, but not when disagreement might reasonably be anticipated as to whether the category is a topic or set category.

C2B: Consistency with established Wikipedia naming conventions and practices

Shortcut

WP:C2BWP:C2B

Expanding abbreviated country names (e.g. U.S. → United States).
Disambiguation fixes from an unqualified name (e.g. Category:Washington → Category:Washington (state) or Category:Washington, D.C.).

C2C: Consistency with established category tree names

Shortcut

WP:C2CWP:C2C

Bringing a category into line with established naming conventions for that category tree, or into line with the various "x by y", "x of y", or "x in y" categorization conventions specified at Wikipedia:Category names

This should be used only where there is no room for doubt that the category in question is being used for the standard purpose instead of being a potential subcategory.
This criterion should be applied only when there is no ambiguity or doubt over the existence of a category naming convention. Such a convention must be well defined and must be overwhelmingly used within the tree. If this is not the case then the category in question must be brought forward to a full CfD nomination.
This criterion will not apply in cases where the category tree observes distinctions in local usage (e.g. Category:Transportation in the United States and Category:Transport in the United Kingdom).

C2D: Consistency with main article's name

Shortcut

WP:C2DWP:C2D

Renaming a topic category to match its eponymous page (e.g. Category:The Beatles and The Beatles).
This applies only if the related page's current name (and by extension, the proposed name for the category) is:
- unambiguous (so it generally does not apply to proposals to remove a disambiguator from the category name, even when the main article is the primary topic of its name, i.e. it does not contain a disambiguator); and
- uncontroversial, either because of longstanding stability at that particular name, or because the page was just moved (i) after a page move discussion resulted in explicit consensus to rename, or (ii) unilaterally to reflect an official renaming which is verified by one or more citations (provided in the nomination). C2D does not apply if the result would be contrary to guidelines at WP:CATNAME, or there is any ongoing discussion about the name of the page or category, or there has been a recent discussion concerning any of the pages that resulted in a no consensus result, or it is controversial in some other way.
This criterion may also be used to rename a set category in the same circumstances, where the set is defined by a renamed topic; e.g. players for a sports team, or places in a district.
Before nominating a category to be renamed per WP:C2D, consider whether it makes more sense to move the article instead of the category.

C2E: Author request

Shortcut

WP:C2EWP:C2E

This criterion applies only if the author of a category requests or agrees to renaming within six months of creating the category.
The criterion does not apply if other editors have populated or changed the category since it was created. "Other editors" includes bots that populated the category, but excludes an editor working with the author on the renaming.

C2F: One eponymous page

Shortcut

WP:C2FWP:C2F

This criterion applies if the category contains only an eponymous article, list, template or media file, provided that the category has not otherwise been emptied shortly before the nomination. The default outcome is an upmerge to the parent categories, where applicable. Nominations should use {{subst:cfm-speedy}} (speedy merger) linking to a suitable parent category, or to another appropriate category (e.g. one that is currently on the article). When listing the nomination at WP:CFDS, you must manually add all the appropriate parent categories as targets if the member page is not already in them.

Admin instructions

When handling the listings:

Make sure that the listing meets one of the above criteria.
With the exception of C2E, make sure that it was both listed and tagged at least 48 hours previously.
Make sure that there is no opposition to the listing; if there is a discussion, check if the opposing user(s) ended up withdrawing their opposition.

If the listing meets these criteria, simply have the category renamed or merged – follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Administrator instructions, in the section "If the decision is to Rename, Merge, or Delete"; to list it for the bots, use the Speedy moves section.

Applying speedy criteria in full discussions

A nomination to merge or rename, brought forward as a full CfD, may be speedily closed if the closing administrator is satisfied that:
- The nomination clearly falls within the scope of one of the criteria listed here, and
- No objections have been made within 48 hours of the initial nomination.
If both these conditions are satisfied, the closure will be regarded as having been a result of a speedy nomination. If any objections have been raised then the CfD nomination will remain in place for the usual 7-day discussion period, to be decided in accordance with expressed consensus.

Add requests for speedy renaming and merging here

Use the following format on a new line at the beginning of the list:

* [[:Category:old name]] to [[:Category:new name]] – Reason ~~~~

If the current name should be redirected rather than deleted, use:

* REDIRECT [[:Category:old name]] to [[:Category:new name]] – Reason ~~~~

To note that human action is required, e.g. updating a template that populates the category, use:

* NO BOTS [[:Category:old name]] to [[:Category:new name]] – Reason ~~~~

Remember to tag the category page with: {{subst:cfr-speedy|New name}}

A request may be completed if it is more than 48 hours old; that is, if the time stamp shown is earlier than 00:05, 29 September 2025 (UTC). Currently, there are 476 open requests (refresh).

Current requests

Please add new requests at the top of the list, preferably with a link to the parent category (in case of C2C) or relevant article (in case of C2D).

Opposed requests

Category:Women in business by continent to Category:Businesswomen by continent – C2C: per Category:Businesswomen and CfD. Mclay1 (talk) 06:41, 25 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose all. Businesswoman is actually a redirect to Businessperson. I changed the main article for Category:Businesswomen to Women in business, which is actually an independent article and the main category should be changed to Category:Women in business in accordance with all these subcategories and the existing subcategories Category:Organizations for women in business, Category:Jewish women in business and Category:Women in finance. Other categories like Category:Lesbian businesswomen and Category:Ancient businesswomen should be changed to "X women in business." Jahaza (talk) 14:35, 25 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
So regardless of what this category name settles on, please include category redirects for all of these changes. The templates for Businesswomen by century are somewhat resiliant, but it would save me a ton of time modifying the template if those redirects remained. ^SMason_Garrison 22:03, 25 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jahaza, Actress redirects to Actor but we still have Category:Actresses. The main category was at Category:Women in business, but it was renamed at CfD. These need to follow suit. Mclay1 (talk) 02:25, 26 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"Businesswoman" refers to a person, "women in business" refers to a topic. It is completely plausible that there is a topic article Women in business while there are set categories called businesswomen. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:46, 27 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wallis and Futuna cuisine to Category:Cuisine of Wallis and Futuna – C2C: Parent Category:Culture of Wallis and Futuna. NLeeuw (talk) 20:37, 23 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think C2C applies here. The cuisine category format doesn't need to match the culture category; see Category:Cuisine by country and Category:Oceanian cuisine by dependent territory. I left these out of my similar nomination below because Oceanian territories tend to follow the format for countries rather than country subdivisions. I think we'd need a full discussion for all of them to change it. Mclay1 (talk) 09:31, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Mclay1 Hmm it's a good point. In dozens of category trees, "cuisine" is a child of "culture", but this is not always so. However, in the main tree, Category:Cuisine by country is a child of Category:Food and drink by country, which in turn is a child of Category:Culture by country. So I think C2C may apply in cases when there is no intermediate layer about "food and drink". Nevertheless, I agree that some caution should be observed, especially when there is a main article which has a Fooian cuisine title. I'm not nominating those for now. They should be discussed in the main space. NLeeuw (talk) 10:43, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Mclay1: are you (still) opposing this? Marcocapelle (talk) 06:14, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I don't think it qualifies for speedy. Mclay1 (talk) 15:51, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  - Oppose, the categories (should) only have "-language" in case of ambiguity. For example French is ambiguous because it can also mean from France. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:15, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    - There are some cases here were ambiguities occur – are Category:Galician poets poets from Galicia (Spain) or Galician-language poets or Galicians who are poets (or something related to the other Galicia)? Currently, it is categorised under Category:Writers from Galicia (Spain) and Category:Poets by language. Similar applies to some of the languages spoken on the Indian subcontinent. Anyhow, to find out what the categories categorise and are meant to categorise, it would need full CfD case by case. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 14:37, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  I suggest that this be taken to a full CfD, since I also have similar concerns. TheBritinator (talk) 10:41, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  @Marcocapelle, @TheBritinator; ok to rename the very first one, Category:Maithili poets, a subcategory of Category:Maithili-language writers? Kaffet i halsen (talk) 11:28, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  @Kaffet i halsen: Maithili seems to be a language only, without any risk of ambiguity, or am I wrong about that? Marcocapelle (talk) 13:40, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  The article is at Maithili language because of Maithili. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 19:07, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  @Kaffet i halsen: Maithils is an ethno-linguistic group defined by the speaking of the Maithili language so there is no ambiguity about this being about language. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:00, 26 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  - Oppose: Not everyone associated with Sumo is a wrestler per se; for example, there are referees and other staff members that might belong to a Sumo stable but aren't wrestlers. There are also members of non-Sumo world who might be officially associated with the sport in some capacity, either as board members or official advisors. This category name change seems to narrow the scope of the category to only the wrestlers themselves. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:26, 18 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I understand all may not be wrestlers with the current name but currently, all members of the categories are wrestlers and I don't think we want to have board members or official members in a subcategory of martial artists, e.g. Category:Martial artists from Chiba Prefecture. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 10:39, 18 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    It might be wise to post a {{Please see}} about this at WT:JAPAN and Wikipedia talk:Sumo for additional input. The fact that the category is currently only populated by "rikishi" doesn't necessarily (at least in my opinion) mean it will always be that way. There already exists a Category:Japanese sumo wrestlers based on nationality so perhaps Category:Japanese sumo wrestlers by prefecture should be made a subcategory of that. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:03, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    If we create new categories to subcategorise sumo wrestlers by prefecture, they will become subcategories of sumo people. And if all the articles in these categories are for sumo wrestlers, those sumo people categories will be empty apart from the one subcategory for sumo wrestlers. Then someone will propose combining the sumo people and sumo wrestler categories to remove a redundant category layer. It all seems like a waste of time if there are no articles for notable non-wrestler sumo people. Mclay1 (talk) 00:40, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Category:Sumo announcers already exists, but there are plenty of other non-wrestler categories in ja:Category:相撲に関する人物 containing articles which might meet English Wikipedia's notability guidelines. It seems that Category:Japanese sumo wrestlers is broader in scope than Category:Japanese sumo wrestlers by prefecture: so, it makes more sense (at least to me) for the latter to be a subcategory of the former. It seems (at least to me) a bit odd and redundant have a cateory for Japanese sumo wrestlers and a category for Japanese sumo wrestlers by prefecture at the same level of categorization since they would almost certainly include the same articles.
    Finally, your post here actually deleted my comment, which shouldn't really happen per WP:TPO. While I'm sure it wasn't done intentionally, it's something that shouldn't happen. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:42, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, Category:Japanese sumo wrestlers by prefecture would be a subcategory of Category:Japanese sumo wrestlers; there is no disagreement on that. (Your comment being removed was clearly just an edit conflict caused by the automated script and obviously not my fault.) Mclay1 (talk) 02:19, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The removal was almost certainly an accident; however, when you use a script or other type of automated tool to edit, you're still responsible for the edits you make per WP:MEATBOT. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:41, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    
    I would also like to add that we to a larger extent not tend to categorise on-field sportspeople together with announcers, coaches, or administrators in by subdivision/populated place categories. The most are in the format Category:Tennis players from Indiana instead of Category:Tennis people from Indiana although some outliers exist, especially in Canada and Japan.
