Category:Johannes Vermeer paintings 
I notice that this category you created is unpopulated (empty).  In other words, no Wikipedia pages belong to it.  If it remains unpopulated for four days, it may be deleted, without discussion, in accordance with Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#C1.  I'm notifying you in case you wish to (re-)populate it by adding [[Category:Johannes Vermeer paintings]] to articles/categories that belong in it.

I blanked the category page.  This will not, in itself, cause the category to be deleted.  It serves to document (in the page history) that the category was empty at the time of blanking and also to alert other watchers that the category is in jeopardy.  You are welcome to revert the blanking if you wish.  However, doing so will not prevent deletion if the category remains empty.

If you created the category in error, or it is no longer needed, you can speed up the deletion process by tagging it with .

Best regards,
