Speedy renaming and speedy merging
Categories may be listed here if they fall under the criteria specified at Wikipedia:Category renaming and repeated 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 Wikipedia: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 renaming or speedy merging are strictly limited to:
- Typographical errors (such as, Brdiges → Bridges).
- Note that differences between British and American spelling (for example, Harbours → Harbors) are not considered errors, but if both exist as otherwise-identical category names, they should be merged.
- Capitalization fixes (such as, Characters In harry Potter → Characters in Harry Potter)
- Conversions from singular to plural, or back (such as, Steamship → Steamships)
- Non-conformance with "x by y", "x of y", or "x in y" categorization conventions specified at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (categories).
- This should only be used where there is no room for any doubt whatsoever that the category in question is being used for the standard purpose instead of being a potential subcategory. It should not be assumed that an incorrectly formatted "radio stations" category was intended to be a "radio" category, or that an incorrectly formatted "archaeological sites" category was intended to be an "archaeology" category.
- Expanding abbreviations for country names: The name of the country should appear as it does in the name of the article about that country (for example, US or U.S. in reference to the United States should be renamed to United States, but this criterion specifically does not apply to renames between the terms "American" and "United States").
- Renames or merges to match a disambiguated parent category such as Category:Georgia (country) or Category:Georgia (U.S. state) from an unqualified name.
When the speedy rename procedure should not be used:
- When proposing that the category name should be reformatted in addition to one of the speedy criteria
- When proposing that two or more changes should be made, each of which qualifies under the speedy criteria
- When proposing to change a country name to an adjective, or vice versa, as in United Kingdom to British, American to United States, Germany to German, Argentine to Argentina, etc.
- When proposing a change that is based on a naming convention adopted by a specific WikiProject but does not otherwise meet any of the six speedy criteria listed above
- When proposing a change that does not qualify under any of the six criteria above, regardless of whether or not the proposed change will bring the category into conformity with existing categories
Note: If the nominator decides to change a nomination based on comments, simply delete the old nomination and create a new one as long as it still meets the speedy criteria.
Add requests for speedy renaming here
If the category does not match one of the six criteria listed above PRECISELY, do not list it here, but list it in the main section instead. If you are in any doubt as to whether it qualifies, do not list it here. Use the following format:
- * [[:Category:OLD Name]] to [[:Category:NEW Name]] ~~~~
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 02:27, 2 December 2008 (UTC) or earlier.

Ready for deletion
Once the renaming has been completed, copy and paste the listing to the Ready for deletion section of Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Working/Manual.

NEW NOMINATIONS

Category:Members of the Anointed Quorum
- Category:Members of the Anointed Quorum - (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Listify and delete. This category is for membership in the early Latter Day Saint movement's short-lived Anointed Quorum, which was essentially composed of those deemed most faithful and therefore were the first individuals to participate in the Latter Day Saint temple rituals. This may sound important, but it's actually quite a minor point of LDS history. As one user has pointed out on the talk page, it is very difficult to find membership in this group even mentioned in biographies of any of the included people. As a reflection of this, membership hasn't been prominent enough to be mentioned in most of the WP articles on the people. As such, membership in the group could not be considered defining for any of the people—they are all notable for other reasons that have to do with the Latter Day Saint movement. No official or public list of the group ever existed when it was active from 1842–1845, and it has been left up to historians to piece together the membership, so lists have been created in modern times by historians of the Latter Day Saint movement. I suggest that this topic would be ideally covered by simply adding a list of members to the short article Anointed Quorum.

Category:Nicknamed groups of soccer teams
- Propose renaming of Category:Nicknamed groups of soccer teams to To be determined
Nominator's rationale: Listed are groups of players at a club at a particular time who were given nicknames that had currency in national or international media reporting. Aside from the missing disambiguate 'football', I really don t know what the name should be. The current name however seems too ambiguous Mayumashu (talk) 18:41, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
- Hmmm. Category:Nicknamed generations in soccer teams catches it better, but still sounds a bit odd. Johnbod (talk) 20:43, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Category:Defunct airlines of East Germany
- Category:Defunct airlines of East Germany - (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete East Germany only ever had one airline - Interflug. Having a category for a single airline is rather pointless, a single category "Defunct airlines of Germany" is sufficient and already exists. Passportguy (talk) 19:15, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Category:Defunct airlines of West Germany
- Category:Defunct airlines of West Germany - (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete See above Passportguy (talk) 19:15, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
international football (soccer) category pages missing disambiguate '(soccer)'
- Propose renaming
- Nominator's rationale: recently the use of the disambiguate '(soccer)' for category pages that refer to the sport internationally was reasserted (in a nomination discussion of replacing the disambiguate with 'association football'). These pages are missing the disambiguate Mayumashu (talk)
- Comment If we are always disambiguating the term as "Football (soccer)", then by all means I support the proposal. If we are doing this, we should handle all of the soccer categories, rather than dealing with them on a piecemeal basis, though it appears that the nominator made an effort to include the ambiguous categories. If the goal is to disambiguate only where needed, "Football managers" is the term used for soccer, while the term "head coach" or "coach" is used in Category:American football head coaches and Category:American football coaches for American football. I have no objection to infixing "(soccer)". Alansohn (talk) 19:05, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Category:Monospace typefaces
- Propose renaming Category:Monospace typefaces to Category:Monospaced typefaces
- Nominator's rationale: per the recent move of Monospace font to Monospaced font (based on the fact that the grammar of the latter is correct and that of the former is not). -- Evertype·✆ 17:08, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Category:Albums produced by Eddie Van Halen
- Category:Albums produced by Eddie Van Halen - (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete He only ever co-produced two Van Halen albums, no solo credits. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 17:05, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Category:Albums produced by Van Halen
- Category:Albums produced by Van Halen - (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete Redundant, they didn't produce anything except their own albums. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 17:04, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Category:Albums produced by The Sinceros
- Category:Albums produced by The Sinceros - (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete The only albums they produced are their own creations. Redundant. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 16:34, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Category:Albums produced by Adam Selzer
- Category:Albums produced by Adam Selzer - (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete Per precedent, albums shouldn't be categorized by producer unless the producer has an article. Furthermore, there's only one album in the category. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 16:32, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Category:Albums produced by Pete Ritzema
- Category:Albums produced by Pete Ritzema - (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete Per precedent, albums shouldn't be categorized by producer unless the producer has an article. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 16:29, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Category:Isley Brothers songs
- Propose renaming Category:Isley Brothers songs to Category:The Isley Brothers songs
- Nominator's rationale: To match parent. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 15:59, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Category:Isley Brothers albums
- Propose renaming Category:Isley Brothers albums to Category:The Isley Brothers albums
- Nominator's rationale: To match parent. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 15:58, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Category:Albums produced by Tommy Lee
- Category:Albums produced by Tommy Lee - (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete Co-produced two of his own albums and co-produced someone else's. Precedent is that a producer must have multiple solo credits for a category. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 15:56, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Category:Albums produced by Raimond Lap
- Category:Albums produced by Raimond Lap - (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete Circular category. He didn't produce anything except his own albums. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 15:54, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Category:The Balham Alligators albums
Category:Albums produced by The Isley Brothers
- Category:Albums produced by The Isley Brothers - (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete Redundant category. Their only production credits are for albums that they also recorded. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 15:44, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

- It isn't pointless (or redundant or circular) as it can be found when browsing the category tree Category:Albums by producer and the other one is not there. Occuli (talk) 16:53, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Category:Dr. Strange Records albums
- Suggest merging Category:Dr. Strange Records albums to Category:Dr. Strange albums
- Nominator's rationale: Merge, duplicate categories for albums released by the Dr. Strange Records label. No opinion as to which should be the final merge target, or even if another rename is preferred, as long as we just have one category at the end of the day. Postdlf (talk) 15:25, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Category:ISP in Indonesia
- Propose renaming Category:ISP in Indonesia to Category:Internet service providers in Indonesia
- Nominator's rationale: Rename. Spell out the initials and use the plural form, to conform with numerous existing categories such as Category:Internet service providers of Australia. Stepheng3 (talk) 07:31, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Category:"Cooking By The Book" A Lil' Bigger Mix images
- Category:"Cooking By The Book" A Lil' Bigger Mix images - (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete This category appears to serve no purpose other than to promote a music video. Stepheng3 (talk) 07:00, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Category:Albums produced by David Gest
- Category:Albums produced by David Gest - (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete David Gest generally doesn't produce. As far as I can tell this is the only album he produced. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 06:12, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Category:Albums produced by Ace Frehley
- Category:Albums produced by Ace Frehley - (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete Redundant. Only albums produced were also recorded by the artist. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 06:08, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Category:Albums produced by Sean Delaney
- Category:Albums produced by Sean Delaney - (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete Per precedent, producers should not have categories like this unless they have multiple solo production credits. Delaney has two, and neither is a solo production credit. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 05:56, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Category:Albums produced by Paul DeVilliers
- Category:Albums produced by Paul DeVilliers - (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete Per precedent, albums shouldn't be categorized by producer unless the producer has an article. Same drill as other categories of this type that I've nominated. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 05:55, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Category:Albums produced by Mike Curb
- Category:Albums produced by Mike Curb - (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete Per precedent, a producer must have multiple solo production credits to warrant a category. None of these albums was produced solely by Mike Curb. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 05:52, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Category:Albums produced by Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer
- Category:Albums produced by Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer - (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete Per precedent, albums shouldn't be categorized by producer unless the producer has an article. Once again, I see no proof that Hans has the potential for an article. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 05:49, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
- There exists an article for Hans on der German Wikipedia, and I intend to create one as soon as I am sober. He was a notable German Jazz record producer and playboy. Gareth E Kegg (talk) 00:22, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, if you create one then I'll withdraw. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 01:32, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
Category:Albums produced by Jeff Bova
- Category:Albums produced by Jeff Bova - (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete Per precedent, a producer must have multiple solo production credits to have a category. Bova appears to have only two, and they're both co-production credits. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 05:47, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Category:Albums produced by The Balham Alligators
- Category:Albums produced by The Balham Alligators - (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete Category consists only of one redirect. Furthermore, the Balham Alligators have never produced anything save for their own albums. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 05:35, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
