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
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 page
- 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
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 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 07:45, 7 July 2024 (UTC). Currently, there are 146 open requests (. )

Opposed requests
- Category:Korean Language Society people to Category:Korean Language Society members – C2E: Think "people" scope is too general; members is more specific toobigtokale (talk) 21:22, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- toobigtokale, I would leave the category name as it is, see Talk:Korean Language Society. That is a suggestion rather than a formal objection to your nomination. TSventon (talk) 12:38, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

- Category:Federal Bureau of Investigation operations to Category:U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation operations – Reason. C2C - Bringing a category into line with established naming conventions for that category tree. The growing number of law enforcement operations for different countries is resulting in the need to provide a country prefix. This is particularly sensible for countries that have multiple law enforcement agencies. This has been applied to the categories for the United Kingdom's National Crime Agency and other law enforcement operations as well as the United States Immigrations and Customs Enforcement thus far. eximo (talk) 20:12, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose The current title is correct as it matches Federal Bureau of Investigation * Pppery * it has begun... 20:02, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- Argument user:Pppery you didn't make arguments or justifications in line with the reason for change. Your argument is non-sequitor with the initial and existing argument. As the change in the name remains Federal Bureau of Investigation operations accept with a country prefix, it also doesn't contravene the argument for the speedy change. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jiwhit01 (talk • contribs) 20:17, February 19, 2024 (UTC)
- The reason is that Federal Bureau of Investigation is not ambiguous with anything so no further disambiguation is needed. * Pppery * it has begun... 02:47, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

- Category:Australian racecallers to Category:Australian horse racing announcers – C2C: to match sister categories Category:American horse racing announcers and Category:Canadian horse racing announcers Omnis Scientia (talk) 14:56, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- Omnis Scientia, I believe this should be Category:Australian horse racing commentators per Category:Australian sports commentators. TSventon (talk) 15:13, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- @TSventon, the term used differs from sports. "Sports commentators" is the umbrella term but, depending on the sport, it can be "announcers", "commentators", or "broadcasters". Omnis Scientia (talk) 15:28, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Omnis Scientia: I believe that this is also a WP:ENGVAR question, so racecaller may be the usual Australian English term. Several articles in the category use commentator and only one announcer. TSventon (talk) 16:07, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- @TSventon, as far as I can tell (and I did check before I chose speedy Cfd), a race caller is someone who calls a race so its a term not specific to horse racing or to Australia (see race caller). As for the name change, I'm making it consistant with its sister categories' names. It would be odd to have this different from the others (as for the British one - Category:British horse racing writers and broadcasters - I'm waiting for a full Cfd to close before I do something about it). Omnis Scientia (talk) 17:53, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Omnis Scientia: Oppose speedy Wikipedia policy on national varieties of English means that national categories can be named inconsistently. We have Category:American sports announcers and Category:Australian sports commentators, which suggests that US English prefers announcers and Australian English commentators. And the UK has Category:British sports broadcasters without a commentators subcategory. TSventon (talk) 22:47, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- @TSventon, this isn't anything to do with national varieties and, as noted before, the term differs by sports, not nationality (Baseball uses broadcasters, soccer uses commentators, etc). I'll just take it full Cfd. Omnis Scientia (talk) 22:58, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Omnis Scientia: you are arguing the term differs by sports, I am arguing it differs by national variety of English. A full Cfd makes sense, hopefully an Australian or two will comment. TSventon (talk) 23:13, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
