Speedy deletion |
Proposed deletion |
This page has a backlog that requires the attention of willing editors. Please remove this notice when the backlog is cleared. |
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}}
or{{subst:cfm-speedy|Merge target}}
- 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 may also be processed instantly (at the discretion of an administrator) 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
[edit]The category-specific criteria for speedy renaming, or merging are strictly limited to:
C2A: Typographic and spelling fixes
[edit]- 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
[edit]- 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
[edit]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
[edit]- 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
[edit]- 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 page
[edit]- This criterion applies if the category contains only an eponymous article, list, template 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
[edit]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
[edit]- 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 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
[edit]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 ~~~~
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 15:10, 3 October 2024 (UTC). Currently, there are 277 open requests (. )
Administrators and page movers: Do not use the "Move" tab to move categories listed here!Categories are processed following the 48-hour waiting period and are moved by a bot. |
Current requests
[edit]Please add new requests at the top of the list, preferably with a link to the parent category (in case of C2C) or relevant article (in case of C2D).

- @Raladic: Category:LGBT articles by quality and its subcategories are all maintenance categories of WP:LGBTQ+, and should be renamed to be consistent with the WikiProject and its other categories (i.e., including the +). We may as well add in the missing "studies" while we are at it. These are used to generate WP:LGBTQ+/Quality, whch may require some reconfiguring after the move, so it would be easier to only move them once.--Trystan (talk) 03:16, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- Fair, it wasn't super clear based on the current naming, which is why I erred on the side of those categories following the article LGBTQ naming instead. But if it's clear those are related to the WikiProject titling scheme, then yes, we could rename them to LGBTQ+ studies. Raladic (talk) 03:22, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- Edited the nomination inline now to LGBTQ+ studies per your suggestion @Trystan if you want to take a look. Raladic (talk) 03:32, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

[edit]- Category:Aromanticism in fiction to Category:Fiction about aromanticism – C2C with e.g. Category:Fiction about asexuality – Fayenatic London 10:10, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
- The asexual category was moved without discussion. I'd propose moving to "Aromantic fiction", "Asexual fiction", and Bisexual fiction, based on Category:Gay fiction and Category:Lesbian fiction. Web-julio (talk) 16:31, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
- Support this alternative proposal for consistency as @Web-julio pointed out. Raladic (talk) 19:53, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- The asexual category was moved without discussion. I'd propose moving to "Aromantic fiction", "Asexual fiction", and Bisexual fiction, based on Category:Gay fiction and Category:Lesbian fiction. Web-julio (talk) 16:31, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
- Category:X-Factor (comics) to Category:X-Factor members – make more sense. Lililolol (talk)
- Oppose, not eligible for Speedy renaming. Also, this would change the scope, and would exclude various non-character pages e.g. All-New X-Factor and Trial of Magneto. No objection to creation of subcat Category:Members of X-Factor (comics) instead. – Fayenatic London 10:22, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
- Category:Sexual assault in sports to Category:Sexual abuse in sports – C2C: Sexual assault redirects to Sexual abuse. Moreover, many of the pages in only belong in the wider category of Sexual abuse Mason (talk) 18:46, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Sexual assault is a stand-alone article that does not redirect to sexual abuse, the definition of which states
Sexual abuse is a term used for a persistent pattern of sexual assaults.
I don't think they mean the same, but I'm hesitant to open up a full discussion on such a sensitive topic. It does seem that sexual assault doesn't have its own category, but does it need to? NLeeuw (talk) 20:48, 29 September 2024 (UTC)- I was referring to the category Category:Sexual assault Mason (talk) 01:29, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
- Sexual assault is a stand-alone article that does not redirect to sexual abuse, the definition of which states
- Category:Novels by John Green (author) to Category:Books by John Green – C2C and C2D: Allows inclusion of his non-novel The Anthropocene Reviewed; matches brother Category:Books by Hank Green (both novels); dab unneeded for John Green. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 18:42, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose, the proposal would lead to removal of these novels from the tree of Category:American novels by writer which is not helpful. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:45, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose removal of qualifier, as John Green (disambiguation) has many people by this name, of whom at least John Patterson Green also wrote a book. There are sufficient novels to keep a novels category, and as there is a parent Category:Works by the Green brothers which allows easy navigation to The Anthropocene Reviewed, there is no need for an intermediate parent "Books by John Green (author)". Instead, nominate Category:Books by Hank Green for renaming to Category:Novels by Hank Green. – Fayenatic London 09:19, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- I have now nominated the Hank Green category, see above. – Fayenatic London 10:29, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
- Category:Apple TV games to Category:tvOS games – C2D. Consistent with the main article of tvOS, like Category:iOS games for iOS. MimirIsSmart (talk) 12:36, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- I think all such nominations get objected; @Gonnym: Ymblanter (talk) 21:38, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- To be honest I don't know enough on this subject. Is the fact that they were released on the operation system (tvOS) the notable fact, or the fact that they were released on the hardware the notable fact? Nintendo Switch games are notable for being released on the hardware and not on the Nintendo 3DS system software OS, which is why the category is at Category:Nintendo Switch games. This question by itself makes this not not speedy-able. Gonnym (talk) 23:08, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

- Restoring to the queue--Ymblanter (talk) 20:45, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Category:National Monuments of the United States to Category:National monuments of the United States – C2A: Caps fixes. For example, National monument (United States) was moved in 2019 to the downcased title and is lowercased in the article throughout when plural and not when referring to an individually named monument. Also see List of national monuments of the United States. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:30, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- Comment — The 2019 renaming referred to above occurred via WP:RM/TR after two previous unsuccessful attempts through the standard RM process. In other words, someone went venue-shopping for a less discerning group of editors. It wasn't uncontroversial then and shouldn't be considered uncontroversial now. I'd bet the same circumstances apply to other pages nominated alongside this one. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 04:34, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- To be clear @RadioKAOS, are you objecting to all national monument title changes alone, or also all other national forest nominations as well? Hey man im josh (talk) 13:12, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hey @RadioKAOS, just following up on this to see if the other sets can be processed, or whether you oppose just the national monuments renamings? Hey man im josh (talk) 13:43, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- @RadioKAOS, I believe myself and the admins who process the requests on this page would REALLY appreciate an answer on this. Additionally, even if we don't consider National monument (United States)'s move to be valid, the 2018 move by (now former) admin DGG of List of national monuments of the United States, which had a discussion preceding it, was a valid move and reason enough to move forward with the category renaming from my POV. Please at the very least clarify whether your objections are to the national monumemnt renamings, or also the national forest ones as well. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:04, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

I guess you responded after I stopped checking regularly for a response, so thank you for the note on my talk page. DGG is deceased, so it's obviously not an option to seek his input. I'm opposed to using obscure corners of project space to bypass discussion on items which should be discussed. Some editors in those project spaces appear only interested in pursuing (a purely superficial notion ) consistency, often without regard for whether there was any consistency involved WRT consensus enroute to that point. Hence, my earlier mention venue-shopping. I have no strong opinion on capitalization variants other than they're often time wasters that stand in the way of moving the project forward. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 04:52, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- That doesn't answer the question @RadioKAOS, we need to know whether you're opposing just the national monuments nominations, or also the national forest nominations. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:10, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- I left them a message after the above reply on their talk page and I've left them another one now. We still need clarity on whether the objection is just to the national monuments renamings, or the other renamings as well, including the national forests. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:48, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- This is a ridiculous failure of communication... They've been pinged for clarity four times and had three messages left on their talk page about this. Personally I think it's reasonable to proceed with all but the national monuments nominations since there's been a lot of effort made to seek out clarity on this and they're not providing it. I don't think it's unreasonable to believe they're talking about the monuments categories solely, but I'm obviously a bit biased as the nominator. Any thoughts @Ymblanter? Hey man im josh (talk) 17:37, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Hey man im josh, I full support this move but I'd say move this to full Cfd, just to be safe. At this point, it is safe to say this person is deliberatly ignoring you. If they have an objection, they can raise it there. If not, then they had numerous oppertunities to do so. Omnis Scientia (talk) 21:15, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
