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.
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
[edit]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.
Current discussions
[edit]Closing procedure
[edit]After seven days, an administrator (or possibly a non-admin) will determine if consensus has formed, and close the discussion. If appropriate, the discussion instead may be relisted to allow for more discussion. Editors closing discussions must follow the administrator instructions and implement the result or log it at the Working page to ensure it is implemented. As noted at Wikipedia:Deletion process#Non-administrators closing discussions, non-admins may follow the process at Wikipedia talk:Categories for discussion/Working, and list discussion results there for an admin to review, and to log to the page directly.

How to nominate a category for discussion
[edit]Nomination procedure
[edit]Twinkle
[edit]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, see § MassCFD.
MassCFD
[edit]You can use the script User:Qwerfjkl/scripts/massXFD to automatically make mass nominations.
Manual nominations
[edit]| 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.
Click THIS LINK to edit the section of CfD for today's entries. 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
[edit]| 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.
Click THIS LINK to edit the section of CfD for today's entries. Follow the instructions (visible in edit mode) and paste the following text (remember to update the default parameters):
|
Notifying interested projects and editors
[edit]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|2025 November 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.
Speedy renaming and merging
Speedy renaming or speedy merging of categories may be requested only if they meet a speedy criterion, for example WP:C2C (consistency with established category tree names) or WP:C2D (consistency with main article's name). Please see instructions below.
- Determine which speedy criterion applies.
- Tag the category page with
{{subst:cfr-speedy|New name}}or{{subst:cfm-speedy|Merge target}}. - List the request along with a 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.
Requests generally take about 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 any 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 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:
- 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 Wikipedia: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
[edit]The category-specific criteria for speedy renaming or merging are strictly limited to:
C2A: Typographic and spelling fixes
[edit]- 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
[edit]- 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
[edit]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
[edit]- 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
[edit]- 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
[edit]- 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
{{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). When listing the nomination at WP:CFDS, you must manually add all the appropriate parent categories as targets if the member page is not already in them.
Admin instructions
[edit]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
[edit]- 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
[edit]Use the following format on a new line at the beginning of the list:
* [[:Category:old name]] to [[:Category:new name]] – Reason ~~~~
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 03:08, 11 November 2025 (UTC). Currently, there are 467 open requests ().
| Administrators and page movers: Do not use the "Move" tab to move categories listed here!Categories are processed following the 48-hour waiting period and are moved by a bot. |

- @Mclay1: Has the existing naming convention ever been subject to discussion? I see below that the convention for subcategories of Category:War crimes by war is "War crimes in the Foo War", not "War crimes of the Foo War". Why not "Massacres in the Foo War"? Ham II (talk) 18:35, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
- @Ham II: I don't know of any discussion. "Massacres of" is just the dominant format, so I'm just standardising them. But "Massacres in" would work too. The subcategories of War crimes don't all use the same prepositions; for example, Category:Violations of medical neutrality by war uses "during". Mclay1 (talk) 00:47, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

- Since there's been no opposition, I would say this is unopposed. Mclay1 (talk) 14:48, 10 November 2025 (UTC)
- @Mclay1: Sorry for my delay. I'm tempted to leave these unopposed, and I agree that "Massacres of" is the dominant format and there is a need to standardise, but "Massacres of" does seem like a more ambiguous construction that "Massacres in" (and indeed "Massacres during"), because the object of "Massacres of" could be those being massacred. I realise that none of the whole phrases would be ambiguous in that way, but it seems as if we may not be picking the best option to be the standard here, while also having three different prepositions as standard in different places: "of", "in" and "during". Narrowing that list down by one – to "in" and "during" – would be preferable in my opinion. Ham II (talk) 08:11, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

- Oppose. C2C is a good practice but it is not, nor should it be, universal. The WP:COMMONNAME is "captain", not "sea captain"; the parent article is The captain goes down with the ship, not The sea captain goes down with the ship. In addition to this, it is conceivable that an air captain could qualify; the commander of a spacefaring vessel also could, although (at the moment) that would only be fictional ones. I'm not sure if there are any who are notable enough, and also notable enough for this, but... - The Bushranger One ping only 04:02, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

No such categories exist for ROC/Taiwan. No policy is cited for military and security terms as claimed above.

- The term for the Republic of China Armed Forces is just that, introducing unwarranted confusion with an entity whose name also includes Republic and China. The category name for the Category:Military of the Republic of China is also far too close to anything that just uses the term "China," when both have "Republic" and "China" in their names. Drop the stick!! Buckshot06 (talk) 21:50, 10 November 2025 (UTC)
- Everything in Category:Military of China is related to only China. Not Taiwan. These cats requested move is in accordance with policies and guidelines such as WP:Commonname and Wikipedia:Category names in particular Wikipedia:TOPICCAT. If anybody should drop the stick it is you since you only cite confusion and confusion is not a policy. And don't forget that none of these categories have any similar names or parent cats related to those of ROC/Taiwan. Opposition is not based on evidence, facts, and/or policy and guidelines. Move requests do not violate any policy or guideline on categorization and should be moved as such. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 22:39, 10 November 2025 (UTC)
- @Buckshot06: The argument that having both "Republic" and "China" makes the category names too similar is an argument against keeping it as "People's Republic of China", so I'm not sure what point you're making there. Either way, this is clearly controversial, so regardless of the merits of the nomination, it needs to go to a full CfD. Mclay1 (talk) 00:46, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

- Oppose — As was the case with the recently-moved Skagway categories, the main article clumsily conflates separate topics (a borough and a once-incorporated city turned CDP resulting from the borough's incorporation) which are and would be presented as separate articles everywhere else on the encyclopedia. Yakutat would refer to the community, which is different from the borough (borough, CDP). The lack of willingness to fix this is hardly a justification for only making the situation worse by confusing the difference across namespaces. The nominator's efforts to clean up this category tree has already resulted in a lot of arbitrary categorization as it relates to their perceived definition of various communities.

- Next Step Thanks for the feedback. Normally, when a speedy is opposed, I moved it to a full CFD discussion but here it sounds like the root concern is at the article level. I just want the category to match the main article, but have no opinion on whether the latter should be renamed or split.

- Oppose all. Businesswoman is actually a redirect to Businessperson. I changed the main article for Category:Businesswomen to Women in business, which is actually an independent article and the main category should be changed to Category:Women in business in accordance with all these subcategories and the existing subcategories Category:Organizations for women in business, Category:Jewish women in business and Category:Women in finance. Other categories like Category:Lesbian businesswomen and Category:Ancient businesswomen should be changed to "X women in business." Jahaza (talk) 14:35, 25 September 2025 (UTC)
- So regardless of what this category name settles on, please include category redirects for all of these changes. The templates for Businesswomen by century are somewhat resiliant, but it would save me a ton of time modifying the template if those redirects remained. SMasonGarrison 22:03, 25 September 2025 (UTC)
- @Jahaza, Actress redirects to Actor but we still have Category:Actresses. The main category was at Category:Women in business, but it was renamed at CfD. These need to follow suit. Mclay1 (talk) 02:25, 26 September 2025 (UTC)
- "Businesswoman" refers to a person, "women in business" refers to a topic. It is completely plausible that there is a topic article Women in business while there are set categories called businesswomen. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:46, 27 September 2025 (UTC)

- Oppose all. Businesswoman is actually a redirect to Businessperson. I changed the main article for Category:Businesswomen to Women in business, which is actually an independent article and the main category should be changed to Category:Women in business in accordance with all these subcategories and the existing subcategories Category:Organizations for women in business, Category:Jewish women in business and Category:Women in finance. Other categories like Category:Lesbian businesswomen and Category:Ancient businesswomen should be changed to "X women in business." Jahaza (talk) 14:35, 25 September 2025 (UTC)
