WikiQueer:Categories for discussion/Speedy

==Speedy renaming and speedy merging==

Categories may be listed here if they fall under the criteria specified below. Deletion and de-listing may occur after 14 days 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 WikiQueer: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.

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 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.



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 WQ:CFD process.

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