Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Speedy

==Speedy renaming and merging==

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 page with  or
 * 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 Criteria for speedy deletion, e.g., "patent nonsense", "recreation") can be tagged with the regular speedy tags, such as with no required delay. Empty categories can be deleted if they remain empty 7 days after tagging with db-empty. Renaming under C2E may also be processed instantly (at the discretion of an administrator) 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: 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 or the page WP:Categories for discussion/Speedy (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.
 * Oppose, (the reasons for your objection). ~

Contested speedy requests become stale, and can be untagged and delisted 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. 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.

Speedy criteria
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 includes pluralizing a noun in the name of a set category, but not when disagreement might reasonably be anticipated as to whether the category is a topic or set category.

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 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 page

 * This criterion applies if the category contains only an eponymous article, list, template 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 (speedy merger) linking to a suitable parent category, or to another appropriate category (e.g. one that is currently on the article).

Admin instructions
When handling the listings: If the listing meets these criteria, simply have the category renamed or merged – follow the instructions at 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.
 * 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.

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 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:Qutb Shahi dynasty to Category:Sultanate of Golconda – C2D. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 17:18, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose, this would remove the content from the tree of Category:Shia dynasties. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:32, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm aware, however once this is moved Category:Sultans of Golconda should be moved to replace Category:Qutb Shahi dynasty as that cat includes the members of the dynasty. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 09:56, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I do not agree with that move either because it would remove the sultans from the tree of Category:Sultans. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:28, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @Marcocapelle I see. So then make the cat Category:Sultanate of Golconda manually one level higher than Category:Qutb Shahi dynasty? There's no reason that the main category for the Sultanate of Golconda topic shouldn't be Category:Sultanate of Golconda. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 13:43, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Potentially a reason for Category:Sultanate of Golconda not to exist is that there aren't any wikipedia articles about events that took place in this sultanate. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:54, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @Marcocapelle There are, they just aren't in the Qutb Shahi dynasty cat because it wouldn't make sense to have events in a dynasty cat; Siege of Golconda and Willem Leyel's war on Golconda are two examples. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 16:57, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you, the category exists now. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:21, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

 * Category:Haut-Saint-Laurent Regional County Municipality to Category:Le Haut-Saint-Laurent Regional County Municipality – C2D: consistency with Le Haut-Saint-Laurent Regional County Municipality. I moved two articles to the correct (older) category before seeing the rules here, apologies if it was out of process. Essin (talk) 15:31, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * This category has been emptied. Liz Read! Talk! 16:14, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Category:Roman Catholic bishops of Fiesole to Category:Bishops of Fiesole - C2C: consistency with other categories in Category:Bishops in Tuscany


 * Category:Women Indian independence activists to Category:Indian women independence activists – C2B: word ordering is "Indian women" activists Mason (talk) 01:18, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Smasongarrison I would question this. Current name includes non-Indian women who were Indian independence activists, such as Sarla Behn and Annie Besant. TSventon (talk) 01:27, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm happy to remove the non-indian folks, and put them into a new category of Activists for Indian independence. Mason (talk) 01:30, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Actually, it looks like Sarla Behn moved to India, and is categorized in several other Indian FOOian categories. Similar case with Annie Besant. In other words, it looks like they were intentially categorized as being in Indian women categories. Mason (talk) 01:33, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * That works for the women, but there are several men in Category:Indian independence activists who look British, e.g. Reginald Reynolds and Allan Octavian Hume. TSventon (talk) 02:05, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure why it's necessary to fully fix the entire parent category structure. The British people could be People from British India. Regardless, it was pretty clear that the category contents reflect Indian women, and are inconsistent with other women activists categories. Mason (talk) 02:26, 17 July 2024 (UTCC)
 * I think the changes to Category:Women Korean independence activists and Category:Women Indian independence activists are unnecessary as Category:Women Indian independence activists contains women who worked for Indian Independence, just as Category:Women human rights activists contains women who work(ed) for human rights. I am questioning not opposing as in practice most Indian/Korean independence activists were Indian/Korean, so the change in scope is minor. TSventon (talk) 18:26, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Personally, I'd like to eventually make it easier to distinguish between nationality and causes. Category:Women human rights activists is much more clearly about Human rights activists who are women, compared to how we often name Category:Independence activists which could go either way as this conversation has revealed. Mason (talk) 20:57, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I think it is fairly clear that Category:Indian independence activists relates to the Indian independence movement, which is the main article for the category. The proposed change makes that less clear, so the current wording is better. We don't have Category:British independence activists or a British independence movement article. There is some confusion at Category:Indian independence activists by state or union territory, for example Category:Indian independence activists from Nagaland and Category:Kashmiri independence activists contain activists for the independence of Nagaland and Kashmir from India. TSventon (talk) 11:43, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
 * If it were clear, this would not be an ongoing discussion, and there would not be an entire category tree dedicated to Category:Independence activists by nationality. Mason (talk) 11:48, 19 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Category:People involved in race and intelligence controversies to Category:People associated with race and intelligence controversies – C2E: I'm cleaning up the parent category to make it more navigable. I realized that this name implies that each person is directly involved in the controversy (or advocating that there are genetic between group differences). A subset of folks in here do work that effectively argues the opposite (or folks who are actively involved in demonstrating that the differences aren't caused by race). Mason (talk) 21:16, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * "involved in" sounds stronger than "associated with", doesn’t it? Marcocapelle (talk) 17:06, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes. That is exactly why I want to soften the language. Mason (talk) 20:45, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * then that's the very reason I am opposing it, per WP:DEFINING, WP:OCASSOC. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:39, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
 * There are people who are still defined by their research in race and intelligence, even if they aren't actively involved in such controversy. The current version implies that they are advocating for the hypothesis in favor, the rename does not imply that they are in favor of the hypothesis. If you want to purge the category, fine, but I think that your opposition in misguided, given how potentially controversial the label is. Mason (talk) 10:53, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Researchers of the topic are a completely different sort of people in this context, they should never be mingled with people who are actually involved in these controversies. If enough researchers articles exist they should have their own category. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:32, 19 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Category:Wikipedia formatting and function templates by subject area to Category:Wikipedia utility templates by subject area – C2C after Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_May_28 – Fayenatic  L ondon 19:53, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Side note: I really don't understand the meaning of the word "utility" here. Surely, all created templates are meant to have some utility? It sounds so generic, I wouldn't mind upmerging the whole tree of . —⁠andrybak (talk) 01:10, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I agree with Andrybak. Looked at a few at the minor planet category. Any link template should be under a sub-category of Category:Link templates. "Utility" is so generic that it is unhelpful, as is the previous "function templates". Probably best to check the contents of each category and see if they are all of a same type, find out which parent correctly fit that type and rename to match.

 * Question: Should these be at "in the Southland Region" or "in Southland Region"? Southland Region has one piece of running text, "A map showing population density in the Southland Region at the 2006 census.", which suggests the former, and three pieces of running text which suggest the latter: "Southland Region and the Southland Regional Council were created in 1989", "Southland Region covers 31,218.27 km2" and "Southland Region had a population of 97,467 at the 2018 New Zealand census".

 * I haven't moved these batches to the opposed section because adding "the" seems a matter of C2C. Feel free to move them to Opposed if you think otherwise. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:11, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * English is not my mothertongue, and I do not feel comfortable to unilaterally decide whether it should be "the" in the names or not. If there is no obvious consensus may be we should go through the full CfD. Ymblanter (talk) 11:42, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

 * oppose, "sacked" was suggested in full CfD for a good reason, namely that in many cases the damage has been repaired ages ago, so "destroyed" is not applicable. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:39, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment. Moving the verb to third position is a straightforward improvement in clarity. Changing the verb from "sacked" to "destroyed" requires consensus. Jruderman (talk) 05:39, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
