| :* This criterion should only be applied when there is no ambiguity or doubt over the existence of a category naming convention.

| :* Renaming a ] to match its eponymous article (e.g. ] and ]). | |||
| :* This applies '''''only''''' if the related article's current name (and by extension, the proposed name for the category) is unambiguous, and uncontroversial—either due to longstanding stability at that particular name or immediately following a page move discussion which had explicit consensus to rename.

For current discussion page for the same material see Misplaced Pages:Categories for discussion/Speedy#Speedy criteria.
