Revision as of 20:58, 21 March 2012

Shortcut

Categories may be listed here if they fall under the criteria specified below. Deletion and de-listing may occur after 48 hours if there are no objections. They must be tagged with {{subst:cfr-speedy|new name}} so that users of the categories are aware of the proposal. This delay is to allow for objections over correct spelling, etc. to be made and to ensure that items are not processed that do not meet the criteria.

Categories that qualify for speedy deletion (per Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion, e.g. "patent nonsense", "recreation", categories that have been empty for four days) can be tagged with the regular speedy tags, such as {{db|reason}}, and no delay is required for these.

Contested requests can be removed from this list after 48 hours. If the nominator wants to continue the process they need to submit the request as a regular CfD using the instructions above.

Speedy criteria

Criteria for speedy deletion, renaming, or merging are strictly limited to: From 20 November 2009 to 4 December 2013 the policy page Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion transcluded the criteria for deletion of categories from a discussion page instead of having them directly coded in the policy page. To see the history of that section of the speedy deletion policy during that period, see the editing history of Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Speedy/Criteria. For current discussion page for the same material see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Speedy#Speedy criteria.

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 above, 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 here

Current nominations

If the category and desired change do not match one of the criteria in C2 listed above, 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:

* [[:Category:OLD name]] to [[:Category:NEW name]] – Reason for rename. ~~~~

Don't forget to tag the category with {{subst:Cfr-speedy|newname}}

Please add new entries at the top of the list and sign and date stamp your entries with ~~~~.

A request may be completed if it is more than 48 hours old; that is, the time stamp shown is 16:09, 19 May 2024 (UTC) or earlier.

Opposed nominations

On-hold nominations depending on other discussion
Opposed nominations at full discussion
  • Category:PESA to Category:PESA SA – C2D per PESA SA Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:39, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Why? The main article is PESA, and titling guidelines say to avoid using SA, Ltd. Inc. etc in titles. Oppose - I'm also sure this is the primary use for the name PESA, and that the other things named in PESA are unlikely to ever have categories..Oranjblud (talk) 21:51, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    The main article for the company is at PESA SA, and the category is a category for the company. PESA is a disambiguation page. Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:55, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry my mistake - corrected above - however this think the rename is wrong - and am suggesting that primary use is of PESA is PESA SA (most common) - ie 'bad title' for main article.Oranjblud (talk) 21:57, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    If you wanted to immediately start a requested move using WP:RM for the article, I would be willing to suspend this nomination. But as long as the article remains where it is, I think the category should match. I'm not sure it's a clear-cut issue—we also have a river called Pesa, so it gets complicated. Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:59, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Full discussion started here. Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:44, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Category:European Championship (darts) to Category:European Championships (darts) – C2B: Set categories need pluralisation. Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talkabout my edits? 02:18, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm of two minds whether this and several of the ones above actually are (or should be) set categories. Many of them include, aside from the main article, articles about squads and qualifying rounds. -- Black Falcon (talk) 02:12, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    This doesn't have articles about neither qualifying or squads. Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talkabout my edits? 02:25, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    You're right about this one and the four above: they all contain the main article and one or more articles about championships. I suppose, then, that just leaves the question of whether a set category or topic category would be more useful. A set category would reflect the contents just as accurately as a topic category but also would limit each category's scope, such that future articles about squads or qualifying rounds could not be placed in them. Eventually, I think, topic categories would become necessary again to serve as parents to such articles and to these championships set categories. -- Black Falcon (talk) 20:08, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Withdrawn 4 nominations due to the possibility of squad and qualifying articles, but I think Category:European Championship (darts) could go through. This is an individual sport and there is no qualification tournament since 2008 (which is incorporated in the 2008 article, and isn't long enough to warrant a separate article). thus neither squad nor qualifying articles will be created. Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talkabout my edits? 21:17, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Moved this one to full discussion. Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talkabout my edits? 14:01, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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.
