Categories for discussion (CfD) is the central venue for discussing specific proposals to delete, merge, rename or split categories and stub types in accordance with the guidelines for categorization, category naming and stub articles.
For detailed instructions about using CfD, see "How to use CfD" below. Briefly, nominations are handled through one of two processes:
- Speedy renaming and merging, for uncontroversial proposals that meet specified criteria—see "Speedy renaming and merging" below.
- Full discussion, for all other proposals. Discussions typically remain open for at least seven days and are closed once a rough consensus has formed or no objections to the nomination are raised.
Except in uncontroversial cases such as reverting vandalism, do not amend or depopulate a category once it has been nominated at CfD as this hampers other editors' efforts to evaluate a category and participate in the discussion.
When a category is renamed or merged with another category, in limited circumstances it may be helpful to leave an instance of the {{Category redirect|...}} template on the category's former page. See "Redirecting categories" below for more information.
Wikipedia:Move review can be used to contest the outcome of a CfD request that is limited in scope to renaming, as long as all steps are followed. If a discussion on the request closer's talk page does not resolve an issue, then a move review will evaluate the close of a CfD move discussion to determine whether or not the close was reasonable and consistent with the spirit and intent of common practice, policies, and guidelines. CfDs involving deletion should be reviewed at Wikipedia:Deletion review.
Scope
CfD is intended only for specific proposals to delete, merge, rename or split categories or stub types. For general discussion about how to improve the category system, use other appropriate venues such as Wikipedia talk:Categorization, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Categories, and any relevant WikiProjects' talk pages.

How to use CfD
Nomination procedure
Twinkle
You may use Twinkle to facilitate CfD nominations. To install Twinkle, go to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets and check "Twinkle" in the "Browsing" section. Use the now-installed "XfD" (Start a deletion discussion) tab while viewing the page you want to nominate.
Twinkle only allows you to nominate a single category or stub template. For bundled nominations including multiple categories, or if you prefer not to use Twinkle, follow the manual steps below.
Manual nominations
I | Preliminary steps.
Before nominating a category:
In the following special cases:
For further information, see Wikipedia:Categorization and Wikipedia:Manual of Style. |
II | Edit the category.
Add one of the following templates at the beginning of the category page (not the talk page) of every category to be discussed. For nominations involving large numbers of categories, help adding these templates can be requested here.
|
III | Create the CFD section.
Follow the instructions (visible in edit mode) to copy and paste one of the templates below. When inserting category names into these template's parameters, except the
|
Stub types
I | Preliminary steps.
In general, a stub type consists of a stub template and a dedicated stub category. Before nominating a stub type for deletion, merging or renaming:
|
II | Edit the template.
Add one of the following tags at the beginning of the template to be discussed.
|
III | Create the CFD section.
Follow the instructions (visible in edit mode) and paste the following text (remember to update the default parameters):
|
Notifying interested projects and editors
In addition to the steps listed above, you may choose to invite participation by editors who are likely to be informed about a nominated category. All such efforts must comply with Wikipedia's guideline against biased canvassing. In addition, to help make your messages about the CfD discussion clear, avoid Wikipedia-specific abbreviations, link to relevant policies or guidelines, and link to the discussion itself.
- Notifying related WikiProjects
WikiProjects consist of groups of editors who are interested in a particular subject. If a nominated category is within the scope of one or more WikiProjects, consider adding a brief, neutral note on their talk page(s) about the nomination. You may use {{subst:cfd notice|Category name|2022 October 13|CfD section name}} ~~~~
or write a personalized message.
Tagging the nominated category's talk page with a relevant WikiProject's banner will include the category in that WikiProject's Article Alerts if they subscribe to the system. For instance, tagging a nominated category with {{WikiProject Physics}} will add the discussion to Wikipedia:WikiProject Physics/Article alerts.
- Notifying substantial contributors to the category
While not required, it is generally considered courteous to notify the good-faith creator and main contributors of the category that you are nominating for discussion. To find the creator and main contributors, check the category's page history or talk page. You may use {{Cfd notice}}
to inform the category's creator and all other editors.
- Notifying other interested editors
It may be helpful to invite other subject-matter experts by posting a message on the talk page of the most closely related article, such as Protein family for Category:Protein families. You may use {{Cfdnotice}}
for this.
Closing procedure
After seven days, someone will close the discussion according to the consensus that formed or, if needed, relist it to allow more discussion. Editors closing discussions must follow the administrator instructions and, except in the case of a "keep" or "no consensus" outcome, implement the result or log it at the Working page to ensure it is implemented.
Redirecting categories
In general, an unpopulated category should be deleted (see speedy deletion criterion C1) because it is not useful for navigation and sorting. In limited circumstances, and because categories cannot be redirected using "hard" redirects (i.e. #REDIRECT[[''target'']]
), we use a form of "soft redirect" to solve the issue. You can "create" a category redirect by adding {{Category redirect|target}}
to the category page. Bots patrol these categories and move articles into the "redirect" targets.
In particular, category redirects are used at the former category name when we convert hyphens into en dashes (e.g. Category:Canada-Russia relations → Category:Canada–Russia relations). It is also helpful to set up category redirects from titles with plain letters (i.e. characters on a standard keyboard) where the category names include diacritics.
A list of redirected categories is available at Category:Wikipedia soft redirected categories.
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.
- Determine which speedy criterion applies
- Tag category page with
{{subst:cfr-speedy|New name}}
- 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 Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion, e.g., "patent nonsense", "recreation") can be tagged with the regular speedy tags, such as {{db|reason}}
with no required delay. Empty categories can be deleted if they remain empty 7 days after tagging with {{db-empty}}. Renaming under C2E can also be processed instantly 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:
- Oppose, (the reasons for your objection). ~~~~
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#Add requests for speedy renaming and merging here or the page WP:Categories for discussion/Speedy#Add requests for speedy renaming and merging here (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.
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 {{moved discussion from|[[WP:CFDS]]|2=~~~~}}
. 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 Wikipedia: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 article
- This criterion applies if the category contains only an eponymous article, list 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
{{subst:cfm-speedy}}
(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:
- Make sure that the listing meets one of the above criteria.
- With the exception of C2E, make sure that it was both listed and tagged at least 48 hours previously.
- 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.
If the listing meets these criteria, simply have the category renamed or merged – follow the instructions at Wikipedia: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.
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.
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:
* [[:Category:old name]] to [[:Category:new name]] – Reason ~~~~
(The four ~ will sign and datestamp the entry automatically.)
If the current name should be redirected rather than deleted, use:
* REDIRECT [[:Category:old name]] to [[:Category:new name]] – Reason ~~~~
To note that human action is required, e.g. updating a template that populates the category, use:
* NO BOTS [[:Category:old name]] to [[:Category:new name]] – Reason ~~~~
Remember to tag the category page 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 19:49, 11 October 2022 (UTC). Currently, there are 60 open requests (. )
Current requests
Please add new requests at the top of the list, preferably with a link to the parent category (in case of C2C) or relevant article (in case of C2D).

Opposed requests
- Category:All TV (Philippines) original programming to Category:All TV (original programming) – C2D. Goodvibes500 (talk • contribs) 05:55, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose, the nomination should have been Category:All TV original programming but that becomes ambiguous and even misleading. – Fayenatic London 13:22, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- The article All TV seems to have been moved from the Canada one to the Philippines one by sleight of hand. All TV should be a dab page. Oculi (talk) 13:58, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- There was an RM at Talk:All TV (non-admin closure by Rotideypoc41352) with consensus for the article move, so that looks OK as WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. However, category names have a higher requirement, and cannot be moved to an ambiguous name using the speedy process. – Fayenatic London 20:03, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- Category:Macintosh websites to Category:Mac computer websites – Main article Macintosh has been renamed to Mac (computer), as per move discussion. Theknine2 (talk) 18:20, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
- Category:Macintosh software companies to Category:Mac software companies – Main article Macintosh has been renamed to Mac (computer), as per move discussion. Theknine2 (talk) 18:20, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
- Comment I think this should be Category:Mac computer software companies or Category:Mac (computer) software companies to be consistent with the other requests and Mac (computer) -- 65.92.247.226 (talk) 21:17, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

- Category:Macintosh computers to Category:Mac computers – Main article Macintosh has been renamed to Mac (computer), as per move discussion. Theknine2 (talk) 18:14, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose all these= these are not speedies as none uses Mac (computer). Oculi (talk) 19:06, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
- I opposed two of them (which resulted in very awkward phrasings) and support all the others as it's normal to rename the categories after renaming the main article. The move discussion focused on why the Macintosh name today refers specifically to a defunct lineup (1984-1998), not to the overall platform. I think these moves qualify for speedy and don't warrant discussion, since any discussion for these would just replicate the Mac (computer) discussion, they're of the exact same scope and have the exact same issue. DFlhb (talk) 07:49, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
- It is normal and a speedy to change 'Macintosh' to 'Mac (computer)' throughout the Category:Macintosh tree (C2D and then C2C). This is not normal and is not a speedy. Oculi (talk) 08:22, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
- None of these use "Mac (computer)", as a direct rename for some of these categories like "ARM Macintosh computers" --> "ARM Mac (computer) computers" would not make sense anyway. However, I am open to a move discussion for these categories, as long as they appropiately use "Mac" instead of "Macintosh" for their names. Theknine2 (talk) 14:49, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
- Category:Divisions of Canada to Category:Divisions of the Canadian Army – C2C complements Category:Brigades of the Canadian Army, Category:Battalions of the Canadian Army, Category:Corps of the Canadian Army;; also removes confusion with political division and geographic divisions -- this contains only army divisions and not naval divisions or other kinds of divisions -- 65.92.247.226 (talk) 02:22, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
- Something is wrong with this request; as formulated it does not make sense.--Ymblanter (talk) 05:44, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
- This is part of Category:Divisions (military formations) by country. I would suggest they should all be of form Category:Divisions (military formations) of Canada. Oculi (talk) 10:52, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
- On further investigation the parent is Category:Divisions (military units) and the article is Division (military) so there is much to do. Everything should be using 'divisions (military)'. Oculi (talk) 11:26, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
- There's something wrong with Division (military) as well since Division (naval) is also military, the "military" version is for the army. -- 65.92.247.226 (talk) 21:06, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
- So what would be the nomination here? Ymblanter (talk) 19:22, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
- This seems too messy for a speedy renaming. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:42, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
- Something is wrong with this request; as formulated it does not make sense.--Ymblanter (talk) 05:44, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
- Category:Nicktoons to Category:Television series by Nickelodeon Animation Studio – WP:C2C: Align more with subcat MegaSmike46 (talk) 02:18, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose, Category:Television series by Nickelodeon Animation Studios should be created as a supercat of Category:Nicktoons, as they also make various other shows, such as various Nick Jr. shows. *:(Oinkers42) (talk) 13:24, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
- That's what I'm trying to address. Almost all of Nicktoons were produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio (original programming), which includes Nick Jr. I'm actually differentiating "Nicktoons brand" from "Nicktoons TV network" as a separate category for the latter has been made. MegaSmike46 (talk) 19:52, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- The Nicktoons (TV network) has its own category for original programming (at Category:Nicktoons original programming). They are already distinct. (Oinkers42) (talk) 14:07, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- Not necessarily, I actually retitled that article [previously Nicktoons (American TV channel)] and gave it a separate article [Category:Nicktoons (TV network)]. I wanted Nicktoons to have more distinct, considering it has several international versions.
- It is similar to Boomerang (TV network) -> Category:Boomerang (TV network) original programming. Even its sibling, Noggin functions this way. Noggin (brand) -> Category:Noggin (brand) original programming. MegaSmike46 (talk) 17:31, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

- Category:Fight Club (franchise) to Category:Fight Club – C2D: Per main article, Fight Club. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 08:12, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose; the article Fight Club is only the film, and this category is broader. Not every category has its own article (yet). UnitedStatesian (talk) 18:40, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- Support there is no ambiguity about what Fight Club refers to, and the disambiguation brackets are unnecessary. Jontesta (talk) 14:04, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose Fight Club is about the film and not the franchise, and thus not the main article of the category. Armbrust The Homunculus 14:16, 27 September 2022 (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 Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Working/Manual.
Empty categories awaiting deletion
The categories listed below have been identified as empty using {{db-catempty}}
, and will be speedily deleted after 7 days unless populated. (Note: Due to technical limitations, all contents of the category may not be displayed; view the category directly to see all contents.)
