Speedy renaming

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 {{cfr-speedy}} 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.

Categories that qualify for speedy deletion (per WP:CSD, e.g. "patent nonsense" or "recreation") can be tagged with the regular speedy tags, such as {{db|reason}}, and no delay is required for these.

Criteria for speedy renaming are strictly limited to:

Typo fixes (e.g. Brdiges → Bridges).
- Note that changes between British and American spelling (e.g. Harbours → Harbors) are not considered typos.
Capitalization fixes (e.g. characters In harry Potter → Characters in Harry Potter)
Conversions from singular to plural, or back (e.g. Steamship → Steamships)
Non-conformance with "by country" 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 for example a potential subcategory. Eg. 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).
Abbreviation expanding for country names: The name of the country should appear as it does in the name of of the article about that country (e.g. US or U.S. in reference to the United States should be renamed to the United States). This specifically does not apply to renames between the terms "American" and "United States"). You may also wish to consider proposing that the category name should be reformatted, in which case you will need to make a regular nomination rather than a speedy nomination.
