Speedy renamingorspeedy mergingof categories may be requestedonlyif they meet aspeedy criterion,for exampleWP:C2D(consistency with main article's name) orWP:C2C(consistency with established category tree names). Please see instructions below.

  1. Determinewhichspeedy criterionapplies
  2. Tag categorywith{{subst:cfr-speedy|New name}}
  3. List requestalong withspeedy criteriareason 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 atWP:Categories for discussion.

Request 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 forspeedy deletion(perWikipedia: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 underC2Ecan also be processed instantly as it is a variation onG7.

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 sectionWP:Categories for discussion#Add requests for speedy renaming and merging hereor the pageWP: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 searchWP:CFDSto 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 un-tagged and de-listed 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 atWP:Categories for discussion(CfD) in accordance withits instructions.

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

Speedy criteria

Shortcut

The category-specific criteria for speedy renaming, or merging arestrictlylimited to:

C2A: Typographic and spelling fixes

Shortcut
  • Correction of spelling errors andcapitalization fixes.Differences betweenBritish and American spelling(e.g.Harbours → Harbors) arenotconsidered errors; however if the convention of the relevant category tree is to use one form over the other then a rename may be appropriate underC2C.If both spellings exist as otherwise-identical category names, they should be merged.
  • Appropriate conversion of hyphens intoen dashesorvice versa(e.g.Category:Canada-Russia relations → Category:Canada–Russia relations).
  • Correction of obvious grammatical errors, such as a missingconjunction(e.g.Individual frogs toads → Individual frogs and toads). This does not include changing thepluralityof a noun when such the distinction betweentopic and set categoriesis uncertain.

C2B: Consistency with established Wikipedia naming conventions and practices

Shortcut

C2C: Consistency with established category tree names

Shortcut

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 atWikipedia: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 StatesandCategory:Transport in the United Kingdom).

C2D: Consistency with main article's name

Shortcut
  • Renaming atopic categoryto match its eponymous page (e.g.Category:The BeatlesandThe Beatles).
  • This appliesonlyif 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 theprimary topicof 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 atWP: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 ano consensusresult, or it is controversial in some other way.
  • This criterion may also be used to rename aset categoryin 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 perWP:C2D,consider whether it makes more sense to move the article instead of the category.

C2E: Author request

Shortcut
  • 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 article

Shortcut
  • This criterion applies if the category containsonlyan eponymous article, list 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).

Admin instructions

When handling the listings:

  1. Make sure that the listing meets one of the above criteria.
  2. With the exception of C2E, make sure that it was both listed and tagged at least 48 hours previously.
  3. 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 atWikipedia:Categories for discussion/Administrator instructions,in the section "If the decision is toRename,Merge,orDelete";to list it for the bots, use theSpeedy moves section.

Applying speedy criteria in full discussions

  • A nomination tomergeorrename,brought forward as a fullCfD,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 as 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

If the category and desired change do not match one of the criteria mentioned in C2,do not list it here.Instead, list it in the main CFD section.

If you are in any doubt as to whether it qualifies,do not list it here.

Use the following format on a new line at thebeginningof the list:

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

(The four ~ will sign and datestamp the entry automatically.) If the current name should be redirected rather than deleted, use:

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

Remember to tag the category 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, 7 July 2024 (UTC). Currently, there are144open requests(refresh).

Current requests

Please add new requests at the top of the list.

Opposed requests

On hold pending other discussion

Moved to full discussion

  • Category:Madonna (entertainer)toCategory:Madonna–C2D;consistency with main article's name. The singer was established as the primary topicin July 2020 after a requested moveand relevant categories weren't renamed accordingly.Sean Stephens(talk)12:15, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Oppose speedyas an explicit exception toWP:C2D.Quoting: "This [criterion] appliesonlyif the related page's current name (and by extension, the proposed name for the category) isunambiguous(so it generally does not apply to proposals to remove a disambiguator from the category name, even when the main article is theprimary topicof its name, i.e. it does not contain a disambiguator)."This may be proposed and discussed in a full CfD discussion though.Place Clichy(talk)12:55, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Opposeas well as C2D clearly does not apply in this case. The nominator also failed to list the subcategories in which many could be considered less ambiguous but would still require a full discussion. There was a fun debate on this topic atCFD/Slast year.StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me21:37, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      See, none of this makes sense to me. If consensus deemed the singer as the primary topic, categorisation should reflect that. If we can't at the very least do that, maybe consensus was wrong.Sean Stephens(talk)00:03, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      @Sean Stephens:there is much sense to what you write, and you are invited to open a full discussion (atWP:CFD). People don't disagree with you, this just does not fall under the restricted cases when a longer discussion can be skipped.Place Clichy(talk)04:42, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ready for deletion

CheckCategory:Empty categories awaiting deletionfor out of process deletions. In some cases, these will need to be nominated for discussion and the editor who emptied the category informed that they should follow theWP:CFDprocess.

Once the renaming has been completed, copy and paste the listing to theReady for deletionsection ofWikipedia:Categories for discussion/Working/Manual.
