Revision as of 21:05, 13 September 2012 by 86.40.102.31 (talk) (→Current nominations)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff) ShortcutCategories 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 processed that do not meet the criteria.
Categories that qualify for speedy deletion (per Misplaced Pages:Criteria for speedy deletion, e.g. "patent nonsense", "recreation", 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 there.
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 the scope of 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.

- Category:Memphis Tams coaches to Category:Memphis Sounds coaches – C2C: Team was renamed before the 1974-1975 season. Same team, same city, only a name change; convention is to categorise by the most recent name. The Bushranger One ping only 22:33, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Opposed nominations
- Category:4th-century artefacts to Category:4th-century artifacts tagged speedy rename by User:Dj777cool. No reason was given for the rename. I'm guessing C2C but I don't believe that there is "no ambiguity or doubt over the existence of a category naming convention". Note that this very issue was discussed in 2007.

On hold pending other discussion
- None currently
Moved to full discussion
- Category:Maratha forts & palaces to Category:Maratha forts and palaces – C2B: Unnecessary ampersand. SuperMarioMan 00:03, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose; I think it should be upmerged to Category:Buildings and structures of the Maratha Empire. Also note that there are already related categories for Category:Forts in Maharashtra and Category:Palaces in Maharashtra. – Fayenatic London 16:34, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
- Moved to full CFD. – Fayenatic London 08:40, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
- Category:Rajput forts & palaces to Category:Rajput forts and palaces – C2B: Unnecessary ampersand. SuperMarioMan 22:32, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose. Special:Search/Rajput architecture shows several results and suggests to me that the nominated category should be renamed to Category:Rajput architecture or a similar "buildings and structures" name, although I do not know whether that phrase would be unambiguous enough. There are already related categories for Category:Forts in Rajasthan and Category:Palaces in Rajasthan, which are currently sub-cats, perhaps wrongly as they may contain buildings in that state from other periods. – Fayenatic London 16:34, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose. Rename to Category:Rajput architecture would be appropriate. Shyamsunder (talk) 07:00, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

- Category:Tintin to Category:The Adventures of Tintin – C2D. The Bushranger One ping only 18:11, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
- Comment: I'm inclined to suggest this should need a full discussion. It's pretty obvious what the category is for. Would all the Tintin sub-cats need to be renamed too? – Fayenatic London 16:16, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
- To full. And yes they would - I was going to nominate them after this processed. - The Bushranger One ping only 16:23, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

- Category:Alumni of the University of Malta to Category:University of Malta alumni – C2C. The Bushranger One ping only 22:56, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose this one. It's the only entry in Category:Alumni by university or college in Malta and the order shouldn't be reversed. Malta has strong historic and cultural ties to the UK. Timrollpickering (talk) 19:53, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
- Fair enough, I might take it to full later (or not). - The Bushranger One ping only 20:20, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Ready for deletion
Check Category:Empty categories awaiting deletion for out of process deletions. In some 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.
