Example of x use

• to complete the contents of high-level categories, such as meta [[:Category:Categories of Europe by country]] by looking for categories with 'Europe' in their name
• to find all uses of red marked categories to see if a need exists to create such a category
• to check on commissions and omissions on manual selection work done by cat-a-lit

how to delete a cat

{{SD|1=G1}} test/accident/no valid

{{SD|1=G5}} temporary deletion; work

{{SD|1=G6}} no controversy maintenance

{{SD|1=G7}} author

{{SD|1=G8}} dependent on non extant content

{{SD|C2}} if it would be OK to re-create it in the future, with appropriate content

{{SD|C1}} if it is an inappropriate category name that should not be reused

or

{{Bad name|better name}} suggestion

There are templates for this that you put at the top of the category. The main one is {{Speedydelete}}. The syntax and options for that are documented at Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion. There are also some other templates that can be used for specific reasons. The ones I find most useful are:

• {{Bad name}} -- takes a parameter giving the existing page with the correct name
• {{Category renamed}} -- takes a parameter giving the existing cat with the new name
• {{Empty page}}

Some of those are not just for categories, and one is a redirect.

{{SD|1=Gn}}

G1 if test page, accidental creation, or page containing nonsense or no valid content

G2 if unused and implausible, or broken redirect

G3 if content intended as vandalism, threat, or attack

G4 if recreation of content previously deleted per community consensus

G5 if temporary deletion for history cleaning or revision suppression

G6 if uncontroversial maintenance

G7 if author or uploader request deletion

G8 if page dependent on deleted or non-existent content
