Proposed deletion |
Categories may be listed for speedy renaming or speedy merging if they meet one or more of the criteria specified below. They must be tagged with {{subst:cfr-speedy|New name}}
so that users of the categories are aware of the proposal. A request may be processed 48 hours after it was listed if there are no objections. This delay allows other editors to review the request to ensure that it meets the 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", categories that have been empty for seven days) can be tagged with the regular speedy tags, such as {{db|reason}}
, and no delay is required to process these. Renaming under C2E can also be processed instantly as it is a variation on G7.
Contested 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, they need to submit the request as a regular CfD in accordance with the instructions there.
Speedy criteria
The category-specific criteria for speedy renaming, or merging are strictly limited to:
This criterion is split into four different sub-criteria:
- 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. Enforcing 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. 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. Facilitating concordance between a particular category's name and a related page'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 immediately following a page move discussion that had explicit consensus to rename. If the page names are controversial or ambiguous in any way, then this criterion does not apply.
- 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.
- 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 18:23, 24 August 2024 (UTC). Currently, there are 1,281 open requests (. )
![]() | Do not use the "Move" tab to move categories listed here! Categories are processed following the 48-hour discussion period and are moved by a bot. |

- Following discussion with Abyssal on my talk page, I am treating all six as opposed. A full discussion is needed now that Abyssal has manually replaced e.g. Category:Oxfordian geologic formations with Category:Oxfordian Stage. – Fayenatic London 09:50, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

- Oppose Article Nature Research was recently moved without discussion, but that's the current name of the company (as hinted at by the title of the above website page "About Nature Research"; they just haven't updated some of the content of the website since the Springer takeover. If you look at recent press releases you will see they are firmly using "Nature Research" as their corporate identity as a subsidiary of the holding company Springer Nature; any reference to Macmillan is out of date.Le Deluge (talk) 05:55, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
- Support, the company is the Nature Publishing Group [1], and consistently uses that branding everywhere. Nature Research is a subdivision. If you want to change that, have a requested move and gain consensus for the name change.Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 06:00, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
- Comment The category and article were moved unilaterally without any discussion to "Nature Research". I challenge that move and request that the original situation be restored. A move like this should not be done without discussion (which has now started at Talk:Nature Publishing Group. --Randykitty (talk) 09:54, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

- Brandmeister: But cf the format of all of the subcategories! Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:46, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
- I Oppose. Please note that the best source on this issue, the Biaudet (Les nonciatures apostoliques permanentes jusqu'en 1648 [2]), always refers to it as "Naples" and never as "Kindgom of Naples". Actually at the time the system of nunciatures did not follow the formal nations, but the system of courts (in this case the court of the vice-king of Naples), being the King of Naples already served by the nunciature in Madrid. The same for Category:Apostolic Nuncios to Venice which is the correct name also according to the Biaudet (not "To Republic of Venice", which would be wrong) A ntv (talk) 10:00, 11 October 2016 (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.
