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.
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 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 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
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).
- Correction of obvious grammatical errors, such as a missing conjunction (e.g. Individual frogs toads → Individual frogs and toads). This does not include changing the plurality of a noun when such the distinction between topic and set categories is uncertain.
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 (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
- 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
- This criterion applies if the category contains only an 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:
- 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 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 ~~~~
(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 18:44, 15 June 2024 (UTC). Currently, there are 347 open requests (. )

Opposed requests
- Category:Rivers of Sava Region to Category:Rivers of Sava – Reason; unnecessary supplement. You also do not use: Category:Rivers of Odisha state but Category:Rivers of Odisha I'm so tired (talk) 05:48, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose: (i) no Speedy criterion was stated; (ii) current name is consistent C2C with parent Category:Sava Region and others in it; (iii) target name is ambiguous, see Sava (disambiguation). – Fayenatic London 07:05, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
- Category:Shia Muslim scholars to Category:Shia Muslim Islamic scholars, C2D per List of Shia Muslim Islamic scholars. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:54, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose speedy. Moved without discussion less than a month ago, so C2D does not apply. Also, Muslim and Islamic is uselessly redundant. Place Clichy (talk) 14:03, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose speedy I agree Muslim and Islamic are not both necessary, because Islamic covers the fact that they are Muslim, however I would support renaming to 'Shia Islamic Scholars' as Muslim scholars includes both Muslims who have studied secular courses and Ulama, whereas Islamic scholars refers to Ulama.

- @Fayenatic london:, I am open to other options. As it stands, I'm afraid that there is a decent chance of it being misinterpreted as islands in the south part of the U.S. state of Georgia. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:46, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
- What about Category:Islands of South Georgia (southern Atlantic)? Marcocapelle (talk) 05:07, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
- The main article's Infobox names the archipelago as South Georgia group, so I suggest we use Category:Islands of the South Georgia group. – Fayenatic London 17:06, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
- Sounds reasonable to me. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:32, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
- Me too. This probably requires a full. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:44, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
- For this whole "South Georgia" category list, or should most go ahead as nominated? The Rock formations category also includes locations not on the main island, e.g. Theodor Rock. That raises the question for the intermediate parent Category:Landforms of South Georgia, and Category:Geography of South Georgia. The rest of the listed categories probably cover just the island, and some say so explicitly e.g. Glaciers/ Mountains and hills. – Fayenatic London 08:39, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
- It may make sense to take all of them to CfD. Note that Category:Geography of South Georgia is parented to the non-existing Category:South Georgia (island), there aren't apparently any other categories that might cause C2C issues in a full discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:25, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

- Let's try this differently. I have nominated Category:Islands of South Georgia for merging at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2021_May_21#Category:Islands_of_South_Georgia. Articles in Category:Rock formations of South Georgia about island rocks should be moved to Category:Rock formations of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. When all that is done, the remainder can be speedied. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:33, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

- Rathfelder, the people categories relate to the Nazi camp rather than the Belgian fort or the later allied prison. I would therefore suggest changing concentration camp to prison camp. There is a related discussion at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2021 May 23#Category:People who died in Fort Breendonk. TSventon (talk) 14:19, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
- We agreed to rename the main category. Havent these got to follow? Rathfelder (talk) 14:53, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
- Rathfelder, I am new to this discussion, where was it agreed to rename the main category? Good Ol’factory concluded the May discussion by saying "a follow-up nomination may be in order". TSventon (talk) 15:22, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
- At that May discussion. My understanding is that there wasnt actually a concentration camp there, although I'm not very clear what the distinction between a prison and concentration camp is. But if you think these need more discussion please move these to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion. Rathfelder (talk) 15:27, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

- Probably I should start a full CFD but this probably still does need moving as ambiguous. Crouch, Swale (talk) 11:30, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Ready for deletion
Check Category:Empty categories awaiting deletion for 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 the WP:CFD process.
Once the renaming has been completed, copy and paste the listing to the Ready for deletion section of Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Working/Manual.
