Speedy deletion |
Proposed deletion |
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 with
{{subst:cfr-speedy|New name}}
- 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.
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 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 can also be processed instantly as it is a variation on G7.
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 continue the process, it may be requested regularly at WP:Categories for discussion (CfD) in accordance with its instructions.
Speedy criteria
The category-specific criteria for speedy renaming, or merging are strictly limited to:
C2A: Typographic and spelling fixes
- 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).
C2B: Consistency with established Wikipedia naming conventions and practices
- 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
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
- 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, 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). If the page names are controversial or ambiguous in any way, then this criterion does not apply, even if an article is the primary topic of its name.
- This criterion also does not apply if there is any ongoing discussion about the name of the page or category, or if there has been a recent discussion concerning any of the pages that resulted in a no consensus result.
C2E: Author request
- 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.
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 are no oppositions to the listing; if there is a discussion, check if the opposing user(s) ended up withdrawing the opposition(s).
If the listing meets these criteria, simply have the category renamed - follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Administrator instructions, in the section "If the decision is Delete, Merge, or Rename"; 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 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 the beginning of the list:
* [[:Category:old name]] to [[:Category:new name]] – Reason ~~~~
This will sign and datestamp an entry automatically.
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 17:26, 24 May 2024 (UTC). Currently, there are 81 open requests (. )

- @Cherkash: as you moved the page without discussion, you need to give a citation here to demonstrate official renaming. Otherwise, this is not valid for speedy processing under C2D, and would need a full CFD discussion.
- If you do provide a citation, please also tag and list the other hyphenated categories within Category:North Ossetia – Alania. – Fayenatic London 23:46, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

- Category:Springs (mechanical) to Category:Springs (device) — C2D per Spring (device). (I wasn't certain if the parenthetical "device" should be plural.) RevelationDirect (talk) 18:15, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
- That's a good question. I guess it comes down to whether this is a topic category about the topic of springs, a set category that contains examples of springs (technically, C2D would not apply), or a set-and-topic category. -- Black Falcon (talk) 23:24, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
- It's probably is a set-and-topic category, as it also contains articles like Hooke's law or Spring steel. Armbrust The Homunculus 18:47, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
- I agree it's both set and topic so I think that means we're going with "devices" Category:Springs (devices) as we discuss how to implement a speedy change.

- no subcategories
- I agree with inserting "WikiProject", but "articles" appears correct. – Fayenatic London 16:32, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
- I was basing it on the parent in its category tree, not its children. UnitedStatesian (talk) 17:22, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
- @Fayenatic london: Actually it contains category talk pages, as they are added through a project banner. Armbrust The Homunculus 02:20, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose - Most categories below the main WikiProject Foo articles category do not use "WikiProject" (see e.g. subcats of Category:Wikipedia 1.0 assessments, Category:Articles needing attention, Category:Wikipedia articles with an infobox request, etc.). WikiProject assessment categories also typically use "articles" instead of "pages", even when the category contains non-article pages (e.g. Category:Category-Class France articles). -- Black Falcon (talk) 03:29, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- Category:United States vice-presidential candidates by party to Category:United States vice presidential candidates by party – C2B.

- Good question, as Category:Social movements includes many sub-cats called "X movement" as well as many called "Y movements". The main article for the first one is Opposition to pornography and refers to "Anti-pornography movements", so I do not see a clear speedy rationale for that one. However, the second nomination is valid under WP:C2D, as the lead article is Anti-abortion movement. – Fayenatic London 12:24, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
- Regarding the Anti-pornography category, I think singular is preferable because any "sub-movements" (to coin a phrase) are part of the overall Anti-pornography movement. The mere fact that the article refers to "movements" doesn't mean they should be regarded as separate and distinct from the overall movement. Anomalous+0 (talk) 13:44, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

Category:Right-wing militia organizations in the United States might be better, but I am not sure if that is clear-cut enough for speedy renaming. -- Black Falcon (talk) 18:24, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
- Category:Standardized tests for Medicine to Category:Standardized tests for admission to medical school – C2B: Title is misleading. These tests are for students, not patients. Rathfelder (talk) 08:24, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose speedy That's may be right, but being misleading isn't part of any speedy renaming criterion. Armbrust The Homunculus 13:31, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

- Category:Defunct organisations based in Oman to Category:Defunct organizations based in Oman – C2C: Per parents Category:Organizations based in Oman and Category:Defunct organizations by country. Oculi (talk) 18:48, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
- Weak oppose - Oman has strong historical ties to the UK, so the parent should probably be renamed to Category:Organisations based in Oman. -- Black Falcon (talk) 20:34, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
- I have started a discussion to rename the parent. If that change does not go through, then this one can proceed. -- Black Falcon (talk) 05:24, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
- I have re-tagged this one and added it to that discussion. – Fayenatic London 21:38, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
- @Black Falcon: Can this go through yet? Must be the slowest speedy on record. Oculi (talk) 11:35, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Oculi, the full CFD is still open at WP:Categories for discussion/Log/2019 January 20#Category:Organizations_based_in_Oman. This on s stuck until that closes. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:12, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
