Speedy renaming and speedy merging

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 listed here that do not meet the criteria.

Categories that qualify for speedy deletion (per Misplaced Pages:Criteria for speedy deletion, e.g. "patent nonsense", "recreation", empty 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 Misplaced Pages: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 Misplaced Pages:Categories for discussion/Speedy/Criteria. For current discussion page for the same material see Misplaced Pages: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 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

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:

* ] to ] ~~~~

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

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 17:35, 7 January 2025 (UTC) or earlier.

World War II jet aircraft


  • This batch falls under C2C, both changing "air-dropped bombs" to "aerial bombs" (the name of the parent category now and the name of the main article in the parent category) and the (object) of the (political body) naming standard. - The Bushranger Return fire 15:53, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
'Air-dropped bombs' to 'Aerial bombs'


Support Strongly. When I see the initials UCI I automatically think it is the Union Cycliste Internationale. They are the world wide body responsible for cycling. It's not a university, chess club, dog kennel, etc. No reason to withdraw. This nom is trying to bring a category into line with established naming conventions for that category tree per Misplaced Pages:Categories for discussion#Speedy renaming and speedy merging C2C.

Support Strongly. As above and per Misplaced Pages:Categories for discussion#Speedy renaming and speedy merging C2C. One problem is that the redirect needs editing. Can you help with that Good Ol’factory. Shouldn't the Union Cycliste Internationale be given primary place since it is a global and widely recognised organisation? Again, No reason to withdraw.

Comment Note, that there exist at least one World cycling championships that isn't governed by UCI: World MTB Orienteering Championships. I changed categories assuming that this change will happen. --Kslotte (talk) 12:32, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
Comment:World Ski Orienteering Championships is categorized in the same matter. (ie. categorized directly in Category:World championships, not in any FIS-related category) lil2mas (talk) 12:43, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
Nominations with objections or that don't meet speedy criteria will be dropped from this list if not taken to a full CfD.

Ready for deletion

Check Category:Empty categories awaiting deletion for out of process deletions. In most 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 Misplaced Pages:Categories for discussion/Working/Manual.
