 * Category:Missing people organizations to Category:Missing-people organizations – C2A: Missing hyphen for compound modifier; this is about organizations on missing people, not people organizations that are missing. HandsomeFella (talk) 21:45, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose, per MOS:HYPHEN's linked note : Major style guides advise consulting a dictionary to determine whether a compound modifier should be hyphenated. Terms like "missing person case", "missing person report" are commonly understood and not ambiguous when unhyphenated Hyphenation Expert (talk) 01:45, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I agree with @Hyphenation Expert's reasoning as it's really unnecessary in this case. Mason (talk) 01:51, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The term "people organization" is rare (as organizations are assumed to be comprised of people unless stated otherwise). So "missing people organization" is practically unambiguous. Nurg (talk) 23:29, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose. - Adding a hyphen is both a needless measure, and will potentially cause needless cleanup. Further (and here I’m only speaking from personal experience) I’ve not ever seen Missing Persons as a category or heading hyphenated. At least not that I remember. If someone can show me credible evidence that it is more commonly hyphenated than not, I may consider changing my opposition, but for now, I vote to oppose. Hamamelis (talk) 10:28, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
