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 page 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 untagged and delisted 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 includes pluralizing a noun in the name of a set category, but not when disagreement might reasonably be anticipated as to whether the category is a topic or set category.
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 ~~~~
To note that human action is required, e.g. updating a template that populates the category, use:
* NO BOTS [[:Category:old name]] to [[:Category:new name]] – Reason ~~~~
Remember to tag the category page 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 01:15, 15 September 2024 (UTC). Currently, there are 2,110 open requests (. )
Administrators and page movers: 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. |

Opposed requests
- Category:Dependent territory-related lists to Category:Lists by dependent territory – C2C: Consistent with Category:Lists by country and all others subcategories in Category:Dependent territories. BlackBony (talk) 13:56, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose The convention in Category:Lists by country is to use "-related lists" rather than "Lists by". Armbrust The Homunculus 14:36, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Armbrust it is much more correct to compare with Category:Lists by former country and Category:Lists by country, since a dependent territory are a type of territory, and not a specific territory. I suggest moving the container category itself, not the subcategories. BlackBony (talk) 20:07, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

- Category:Professors of the University of Cambridge to Category:Professors at the University of Cambridge – CDC and C2D Charlie A. (talk) 08:30, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- Comment Charlie Awesome, I don't think this should be done as a speedy change as the existing name follows the pattern of its parent Category:Academics of the University of Cambridge and of two similar categories, Category:Statutory Professors of the University of Oxford and Category:Professors of Gresham College. TSventon (talk) 14:26, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- I can accept doing the non-speedy route, but I did some scouting around before posting this request and came to a different conclusion to you. Here is what I found:
- In article space: List of professorships at... (6 articles, all "at institution"); List of professors at... (1 article, "at institution"); List of professors(hips) of (or in)... (no articles)
- In category space: professors of (154 categories, 149 "of subject", 3 "of institution", 2 "of nation/nationality"); professorships in (34 categories, all "in subject"); professorships at (16 categories, all "at institution"); professorships of (1 category, "of subject"); professors in (3 categories, 2 "in country", 1 "in subject"); professors at (2 categories, both at institution, coi: I made them)
- There's also Category:Professors of Dutch History at University College London, Regius Professors of Engineering in Edinburgh University. The parent category of Category:Statutory Professors of the University of Oxford is Category:Professorships at the University of Oxford.
- My conclusion was that there isn't a uniform existing practice, but in general practice seems to be: "of for specific subject (in categories about a single post), in for generic subject (about several posts), at for institution" – with lots of exceptions.
- And the reason for trying to work the above out was wanting to use a subtly different format specifying subject and institution, in order to avoid replicating anything like Category:Historians of the University of Oxford, which is ambiguous.
- Charlie A. (talk) 15:46, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- Charlie Awesome, we might be able to agree that the current names are inconsistent. I don't object to tidying them, but think a full discussion would be better. The categories for professors of the universities of Oxford and Cambridge are unusual as full professors at Oxford and Cambridge are (or used to be) a minority of the notable teaching staff. Gresham College is also unusual.
- For what it's worth, I would say that the parent categories of Category:Statutory Professors of the University of Oxford are Category:Professorships at the University of Oxford and Category:Academics of the University of Oxford. TSventon (talk) 16:37, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- No problem – I'll withdraw the speedy request and submit a leisurely replacement. Charlie A. (talk) 17:35, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- Charlie Awesome, can you ping me when your full CfD request is ready? You could leave this request up for a couple of days to see if anyone else has am opinion. TSventon (talk) 18:19, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- @TSventon: done – am happy to go straight to discussion, you're right this probably isn't clear enough for speedy. Charlie A. (talk) 19:00, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- Charlie Awesome, as this is now at full CfD here, the nomination should be moved to the Moved to full discussion section below. Did you notice criterion C2E Author request, which could have applied here? Your nomination only changes Cambridge categories, creating inconsistency with other universities. I would have suggested nominating a set of categories like those for professors of Oxford, Cambridge and Gresham College. Alternatively, Category:Historians of the University of Oxford could be unambiguously renamed Category:Historical scholars of the University of Oxford without requiring a change to naming conventions. TSventon (talk) 21:39, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- @TSventon: I noticed, but I wasn't 100% sure no-one else had made a change, thought the other two criteria would be enough, so didn't bother to look at edit histories to confirm. I don't agree that this change creates any more inconsistency than already exists, but I'd very much welcome renaming of the other categories as you suggest. Perhaps you could bring that up at the full discussion? Finally, I wouldn't recommend the name change to the Oxford historians category, as it then creates a different inconsistence with Category:Historians – I think the best way out of that one is a change of preposition too.
