List of former Roman Catholic nuns → List of former Catholic sisters and nuns – Per WP:CONSISTENCY with List of former Catholic brothers (as further emphasised by Talk:List of former Catholic brothers, yet with equivalent formula as seen in for instance Catholic sisters and nuns in the United States.

 * What is the difference between a nun and a sister? Are Roman Catholic sisters all nuns, but non-Roman Catholic sisters not necessarily are nuns?  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:36, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
 * The reason for the formula in the referenced article Catholic sisters and nuns in the United States may be explained here: Nun. Chicbyaccident (talk) 12:28, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Nuns take solemn vows, sisters ake simple vows? —SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:37, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Bottom line is they may be combined in one article, but both words should be mentioned in its article name. Chicbyaccident (talk) 12:44, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The article seems to be definitely Western in focus, and does not mention any Eastern Catholic. Therefore dropping the Roman epithet is wrong. Place Clichy (talk) 00:06, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose the unexplained proposal to generalize from "nuns" to "nuns and sisters". Does the current list contain sisters who are not nuns?  How many are nuns?  If it is well mixed, probably just use "sisters".  On the removal of "Roman" I think there has been controversy on that?  Please link to centralized discussions.  Backtracking the nominator's rationale, I see that the earlier move was based on consistency with a category.  That is not good enough, categories should follow articles, not vice versa.  I think the nomination is inadequate.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:14, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
