 * The result of the discussion was: Rename. Timrollpickering 20:21, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Laundry workers to Category:Laundry occupations
 * Nominator's rationale: This category survived a merger nomination at Categories_for_discussion/Log/2018_May_20. However, the name needs further consideration, as it contains articles on occupational titles, not biographies. The category name should be either Laundry occupations or Laundry jobs, to make it clear that this is part of rather than . – Fayenatic  L ondon 23:15, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
 * SUPPORT per nom. I was the one who dug into the Category:Laundry a few months ago and I guess triggered this minor cascade of changes, which is long overdue. Wikipedia has done well on military history and US pop culture, and can afford to turn its attention to textiles and food. BTW I definitely support the use of "occupation" or "job" in most of these article and category names, and not "profession", a la Cooper (profession). But I digress.

 * Support Occupations not people are what's being grouped here. RevelationDirect (talk) 23:45, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. ℯ xplicit  00:08, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting nigerian demonyms


 * Nominator's rationale: (Afaics) we have no articles about Nigerian demonyms.  Article categories (i.e. not categories specifically for redirects, dabs etc) are to help people navigate to articles. In some cases there may be a good reason to include a few redirects in an article category, but there is no need for such a category that contains only redirects. DexDor(talk) 17:24, 31 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete Really because this is in the wrong name space. This is a a list article (albeit one created with redirects and listed in a category). RevelationDirect (talk) 22:54, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Articlise as List of Nigerian demonyms. We have here a category of redirects.  I sampled three: two were redirects to articles on the state.  The other was to a list article on Riverian People - People from Rivers State.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:05, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete without articlising, the majority of these redirects redirect to a state. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:18, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Speedy rename C2C. Timrollpickering 15:35, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Ugandan world music artists to Category:Ugandan world music musicians
 * Nominator's rationale: "Artists" categories on Wikipedia are for visual artists, not musicians -- categories for musicians need to be named as "musicians", not as "artists". Bearcat (talk) 14:14, 31 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Rename - subcat of Category:World music musicians. Oculi (talk) 18:12, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
