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.

1. Determine which speedy criterion applies
2. Tag category with ((subst:cfr-speedy|New name))
3. 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 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 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.

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 does not include changing the plurality of a noun when such the distinction between topic and set categories is uncertain.

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).

When handling the listings:

1. Make sure that the listing meets one of the above criteria.
2. With the exception of C2E, make sure that it was both listed and tagged at least 48 hours previously.
3. 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.

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 ~~~~

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 19:17, 23 April 2024 (UTC). Currently, there are 311 open requests (refresh).

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.

• Category:Films directed by Wolfgang Becker to Category:Films directed by Wolfgang Becker (born 1954) – C2D per Wolfgang Becker (director, born 1954). Please don't keep the old page title as a relink, because there are two German directors of the same name – this is the other: Wolfgang Becker (director, born 1910). The article Wolfgang Becker that corresponded to this category name, is now a disambiguation page. Sprachraum (talk) 09:05, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Oppose as proposed The main article is Wolfgang Becker (director, born 1954), so this should be renamed to Category:Films directed by Wolfgang Becker (director, born 1954). Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 09:07, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Hi Armbrust, I considered that too, but it seems needlessly redundant. "directed by" already makes obvious that he is a director. Here is an example that doesn't copy the whole article title either: Category:Films directed by Zhang Yang, where the article name is Zhang Yang (director). In Wolfgang Becker's case one can't drop the parentheses completely, because there is also the director born in 1910, but analog to Zhang Yang I would drop the word "director" from the parentheses. --Sprachraum (talk) 01:22, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  While that may be true, your proposed title doesn’t fit the criteria you chose. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 07:31, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Armbrust, I would appreciate you being more constructive about this. What you seem to be saying, is that the name I propose is fine, but I should have tagged it with a different C2-whatever, therefore you oppose it. (And you don't bother to tell me what criteria-tag I should have used instead.) This sort of bureaucratic obstinacy is not helpful. I've found plenty more category names where it was done like I propose, many of which don't even bother to show the full name with parentheses in the introduction text: Films directed by Mike Mitchell, Films directed by George Marshall, Films directed by Robert Stevenson, Films directed by Michael Anderson and Films directed by John Glen. I've also found some (but far fewer) who do it the redundant way: Category:Films directed by Scott Sanders (director). If there is a rule that says one of these methods is incorrect, I haven't found it yet. So if the name is fine, please don't waste my time opposing it. I chose C2D because (quote): "the page was just moved after a page move discussion resulted in explicit consensus to rename". --Sprachraum (talk) 12:14, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Question: should there really be a definite article, per WP:THE? Place Clichy (talk) 13:42, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Practice seems different: category names beginning 'The'. Oculi (talk) 16:23, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. However WP:THE is not an absolute prohibition (e.g. The Beatles), but it should be demonstrated that the definite article is undoubtedly part of the name and capitalized in running text, which does not seem obvious with (t)(T)he Fletcher School at Tufts University, or any graduate school. Main article itself was moved first from Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy to Fletcher, The Graduate School of Global Affairs in November and then to the current name in December, seemingly without discussion. I could or should have objected the first move on this ground as WP:C2D did not apply, but hey, Wikipedia is a volunteer service. Place Clichy (talk) 19:08, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Since the article title contains "The", a speedy rename should not suddenly deviate from that. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:27, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  This doesn't appear to be opposed as 'The' is capitalised wherever it appears in https://fletcher.tufts.edu/about and say https://www.lawstudies.com/universities/USA/The-Fletcher-School-Tufts-University/. Oculi (talk) 11:08, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

        • Wikipedia currently uses only "Azerbaijani" for categories, including Category:Ethnic Azerbaijani people by country of citizenship and its sub-cats.

  William Allen Simpson (talk) 03:38, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    • Because it was a close that had no consensus for it. Speedy renames need to be uncontroversial, and this is not uncontroversial.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:08, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • Johnpacklambert, so because you disagree with how a broad discussion was closed, we're going to keep two different formats? That seems awfully petty of you. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 22:37, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        • Speedy renames need to be uncontroversial. This is controversial, there was no consensus to rename as was done, it was a last minute imposition and never got widespread support.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:03, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
          • This is simply untrue. In the cfd 2020_December_3#Russian_Empire_people Fayenatic London pinged all 8 earlier contributors on 24/01 requesting a decision between 'Russian Empire people' and 'People of the Russian Empire'. 4 explicitly preferred the latter, 2 said 'either', one didn't reply, and no-one opposed (other than JPL, on 20/01).

• Category:Congolese independence activists to Category:Democratic Republic of the Congo independence activists – C2C: per parent Category:Democratic Republic of the Congo politicians. Oculi (talk) 13:35, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not sure about that, as it's clearly anachronistic. Some of them were activists for the independence of Republic of the Congo from Belgium; "Democratic" was only added later, but Congolese works for any time. Moreover, some of them were secessionists, seeking independence from DRC for e.g. Katanga; but again, doesn't Congolese still work for them too? – Fayenatic London 22:31, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Democratic Republic of the Congo is anachronistic for any events before 1997. These independence activists are more likely related to the period when the country was called Belgian Congo, Republic of the Congo (Léopoldville) or Republic of the Congo (Kinshasa). Expressions Congo-Léopoldville and Congo-Kinshasa are also widely used. A better name for the category may be Category:Congo-Léopoldville independence activists. Place Clichy (talk) 08:29, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • There is Category:Belgian Congo people. It was Zaire for quite a while. C2C goes on the parent without considering historical complexities, or whether the parent is correct, or correctly named. 'Congolese' is ambiguous as there was a French one and a Belgian one. Patrice Lumumba is in 6 'Democratic Republic of the Congo' categories. Category:Congolese people is a disamb category with 3 possibilities (which should perhaps be increased as there is Portuguese Congo as well). Oculi (talk) 15:06, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
