Categories may be listed for speedy renaming or speedy merging if they meet one or more of the criteria spefcified below. They must be tagged with {{subst:cfr-speedy|New name}} so that users of the categories are aware of the proposal. A request may be processed 48 hours after it was listed if there are no objections. This delay allows other editors to review the request to ensure that it meets the criteria for speedy renaming or merging, and to raise objections to the proposed change.

Categories that qualify for speedy deletion (per Misplaced Pages:Criteria for speedy deletion, e.g. "patent nonsense", "recreation", categories that have been empty for seven days) can be tagged with the regular speedy tags, such as {{db|reason}}, and no delay is required to process these. Renaming under C2E can also be processed instantly as it is a variation on G7.

Contested 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|]|2=~~~~}}. If the nominator wants to continue the process, they need to submit the request as a regular CfD in accordance with the instructions there.

Speedy criteria

The category-specific criteria for speedy renaming, or merging are strictly limited to:


  • 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.

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: 

* ] to ] – {reason for rename here} ~~~~

This will sign and datestamp an entry automatically.

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 19:33, 27 December 2024 (UTC). Currently, there are 177 open requests (refresh).

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.

Current nominations

Opposed nominations

Oppose : the overall category is Category:Wooden buildings and structures and only its subcategory referring to timber framing use the term "Timber" Hugo999 (talk) 13:49, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
Yeah - I'd agree with Hugo, for the reasons of the current category system. If you want to be picky and pedantic about it, timber is usually converted to lumber before being used in construction anyway. It's worth noting that the current timber bridge article arrived at its current length after a merger with the similarly sized article wooden bridge (now a redirect). Judging by the earlier content of the two articles, it could be yet another instance of one name (timber) used in the US and one (wooden) used in the rest of the English-speaking world - in which case C2D may suggest "yes", but C2A suggests "no". Grutness...wha? 06:35, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
Comment: The American country category Category:Wooden bridges in the United States and 20 subcategories by state use "Wooden" not "Timber" Hugo999 (talk) 04:35, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
On hold pending other discussion
Moved to full discussion
  • @BDD: As it happens, I do; a linnet is a bird, but Linaria is a bird genus. I'm surprised to see that there are a few others in Category:Bird genera named likewise. However, my opposition is not on the merits of the case, but solely on the process; C2D specifies two forms of evidence of "unambiguous and uncontroversial": either longstanding name, or RM. By all means do make a full CFD nomination; I shan't object to it. Easy CFDs are closed promptly these days. There is no need to quote or refer to this speedy nomination, as it's only opposed on process. – Fayenatic London 08:48, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
Oppose Shouldn't it be Category:Ombudsmen (Ireland)? Pppery (talk) 22:10, 14 July 2016 (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.
