Revision as of 05:42, 16 November 2016

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:


  • 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 10:28, 19 May 2024 (UTC). Currently, there are 82 open requests (refresh).


Current nominations

Comment I'm not so sure Xyz Administration isn't the correct proper noun. Compare 57th United States Congress (not 57th United States congress), Warren Court (not Warren court) as examples from the two other branches of U.S. government. Brianhe (talk) 06:10, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Could be, but that would mean renaming the other categories instead. HandsomeFella (talk) 11:43, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Opposed nominations

On hold pending other discussion
  • 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)[reply]
  • Comment That discussion seems to have died down, but it is clear that there was no consensus for the previous more to "Nature Research", so the original situation should be restored. --Randykitty (talk) 14:45, 12 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Moved to full discussion

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.
