CorporisPublica:Categories for discussion/Speedy

==Speedy renaming and merging==

Categories 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 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 CorporisPublica: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, and no delay is required for these. Renaming under C2E can also be processed instantly, as it is a variation on G7.

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 above.

Speedy criteria
The category-specific criteria for speedy deletion, 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 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.

Current nominations
'If the category and desired change do not match one of the criteria in C2 listed above, 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:
 *  * Category:OLD name to Category:NEW name – Reason for rename ~ 

Don't forget to tag the category with 

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  or earlier.

 * A concern about the venues categories. The country-specific parents for all of these venues categories is "Athletics in FOO". If local usage calls the sport "athletics", why are we disambiguating the country-specific categories for athletics venues? The container should be disambiguated, because different countries have different usages. But just as the U.S. category is, shouldn't the categories for countries that use "athletics" use that term alone? Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:14, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * One went through a full CfD as a test case. Since that was approved, I'm following up with the rest as promised in the CfD. Vegaswikian (talk) 07:26, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, it did—I closed it here. There were few comments, and on reflection, the rationale doesn't seem to make sense to me given that we usually favour local usages. This wasn't raised in the full discussion, but I think it is a valid point. Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:07, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, we are about half way through. So doing these would not leave us with both forms of the name.  To undo what was done will need a full CfD.  Is the disambiguation bad in this case?  Vegaswikian (talk) 22:51, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't know that it is bad, it just seems to go against what is usually done for naming by country categories when different countries use different terminology. If they are all going to be renamed that way, including the U.S. one, that's better than half one way and half the other, I suppose. But if the U.S. one is given special dispensation and not renamed (it is presently the only one that is not renamed or not nominated), I would continue to oppose—why should the U.S. one get special "local usage" treatment, but not all the other country categories? Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:34, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Just to be clear—I'm fine for these to go through, so long as the U.S. one is also nominated and renamed along with the others. I realise I've caused a bit of a stall with them. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:44, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Opposed nominations

 * Category:Literature award navigational boxes to Category:Literary award navigational boxes – C2C; per Category:Literary awards. 86.40.100.39 (talk) 23:59, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose speedy With C2C the category could be renamed back to, as one of the categories on it is . Armbrust The Homunculus 00:02, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * No it could not. Look at the subcategories of Category:Literature. Literary is universally used as the adjective form of literature, including the entire 'literary awards' tree. --Qetuth (talk) 00:23, 6 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Category:Man Booker Prize winning works to Category:Booker Prize winning works – C2C per Category:Booker Prize. The "Man" is an anachronism, wasn't known as that before 2002 so most of them didn't win it. 86.40.105.236 (talk) 01:17, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose use of speedy. Since the article is at Man Booker Prize, I would support this usage despite its problematic retroactive application. This topic was discussed at full with no consensus being reached here, so it should go to a full discussion if being proposed again. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:46, 5 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Category:Olympic athletes of Taiwan to Category:Olympic athletes (track and field) of Chinese Taipei – C2D, athletes compete for Chinese Taipei at the Olympics, similar to how Category:Olympic athletes of Great Britain compete for Team GB, and not UK. C2C the head category is Category:Olympic athletes (track and field) by country, which includes "(track and field)" per CorporisPublica:Categories for discussion/Log/2011 February 9 the entire heirarchy needs speedy renaming as well (or at least the non-English countries). -- 70.24.245.16 (talk) 22:13, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose use of speedy here. Taiwan did participate in some Olympic Games as "Taiwan": eg, Taiwan at the 1964 Summer Olympics. It also participated in some as the "Republic of China": eg, Republic of China at the 1972 Summer Olympics. "Chinese Taipei" has only been in usage at the Olympics from 1984. It's a messy area, and renames in this area should not be attempted via the speedy process. Personally, I would think saying they are from "Taiwan" or the ROC gives a broader meaning than limiting it to those who competed for "Chinese Taipei". Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:20, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Taiwan and CT are the same entity in context of the Olympic teams, but the current name is Chinese Taipei, and Taiwan at the Olympics redirects to Chinese Taipei at the Olympics. -- 70.24.245.16 (talk) 22:25, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
 * We currently have, and . This doesn't look to me like a speediable issue. it's more complex than just fixing one or two "outlier" category names that don't conform. All the categories for Olympic competitors from this entity use "Taiwan". It could benefit from a full discussion. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:26, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Then can you split the category, because the contents of the current category are mostly Chinese Taipei, only three athletes did not compete for Chinese Taipei, only 4 athletes were even old enough to compete under a different name, and only 5 athletes were born before the name change (If you create two new categories, I'll move the athletes. ) Please use "(track and field)" per the revised proposal above, removing the Taiwan->Chinese Taipei change. -- 70.24.245.16 (talk) 22:37, 4 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Category:Television series canceled after one episode to Category:Television series cancelled after one episode (now a soft redirect) - C2C. Note: while "canceled" is an alternative American spelling, all the other subcategories of the parent category use "cancelled". Hugo999 (talk) 02:59, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose speedy The main article of the category is List of television series canceled after one episode. Armbrust The Homunculus 10:33, 3 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Category:CorporisPublica requested photographs in Republic of the Congo to Category:CorporisPublica requested photographs in the Republic of the Congo – C2A: requires an article Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 05:57, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose, current name matches article and WikiProject name. Category naming is not about being grammatically correct.--Traveler100 (talk) 12:44, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Uh, yes, it is. All the subcategories of Category:Republic of the Congo use the leading article.--Mike Selinker (talk) 13:47, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
 * sorry for wring brief comment. What I was referring to was naming convention of CorporisPublica requested photographs sub-categories. I can see for article categories there are more arguments for good grammar than for administration talk page categories. --Traveler100 (talk) 14:16, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, but see also Category:CorporisPublica requested photographs in the Democratic Republic of the Congo‎. The leading article just makes sense in that context.--Mike Selinker (talk) 18:39, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Category:Territories by language to Category:Territorial entities by language – C2C. Note this is not part of the Category:Territories hierarchy, but of Category:Territorial entities which include countries and country subdivisions. ChemTerm (talk) 18:06, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose It was part of Category:Territories heirarchy until 5 mins before the speedy nom. Not an appropriate use for C2C. Also, Talk:Territory (country subdivision) has an open RM on the main article corresponding to the former parent category trying to address the same issues you are trying to solve. --Qetuth (talk) 06:52, 30 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Category:Graduates of the Royal Military College Sandhurst to Category:Graduates of the Royal Military College, Sandhurst – The comma was always used. It's only relatively recently that commas have frequently been removed from branding - when this college existed (up to 1939), people still knew how to punctuate! -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:33, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose The article of the school is at Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Armbrust The Homonculus 11:03, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, without the comma (sadly). But this category isn't about the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst; it's about one of its predecessors, the Royal Military College, Sandhurst. Graduates of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst have their own category.-- Necrothesp (talk) 11:30, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I should add that the official name of the institution was just the Royal Military College, although it was often known as Sandhurst. Since "Sandhurst" has just been added to disambiguate it from other Royal Military Colleges around the world, this adds even more weight to having a comma. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:40, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Still oppose. From the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst it looks to me like "Royal Military College" was just a previous name of the institution. Otherwise it couldn't have been active since 1802. As categorization by former names is not common, this should probably merged to . Armbrust The Homonculus 11:47, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Please read the article. The RMAS was formed after World War II by the amalgamation of the RMC and the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich. They are three separate institutions. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:34, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Support. As a graduate of the RMAS (and I know inside knowledge is not a reliable source...) it's absolutely clear and common knowledge (as evidenced by the two articles we have) that the Academy is a separate, new institution and not merely a reincarnation of the College. Kim Dent-Brown  (Talk)  13:48, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
 * The college doesn't have an article (Royal Military College, Sandhurst), it's just a redirect to the Academy. Armbrust The Homonculus 13:53, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Beg pardon, I was mistaken about CP! But I'm not about the institutions. The article on the RMAS makes it clear that the Academy is the successor to four different predecessors, only one of which was the Royal Military College, Sandhurst. Graduates of the Addiscombe Military Seminary do not belong in the category Category:Graduates of the Royal Academy Sandhurst and by the sdame token neither dothey belong in Category:Graduates of the Royal Military College, Sandhurst. Kim Dent-Brown  (Talk)  15:05, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
 * The opposes above appear to be based on a desire to merge Category:Graduates of the Royal Military College Sandhurst into Category:Graduates of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Whatever the merits or otherwise of such a merger, it is irrelevant to this nomination, which will not alter the separate categorisation of the two. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 05:35, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Ironically, they originally all were in Category:Graduates of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Category:Graduates of the Royal Military College Sandhurst is only eight days old! Once again, I'm amazed (and rather exasperated) that the attempted addition of a comma to create the correct title leads to such controversy! -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:41, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

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 CP:CFD process.

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