- The result of the discussion was: rename. – Fayenatic London 17:49, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Nominator's rationale: Rename. For clarity, more than anything else. The trade union name is Histadrut. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:43, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- The result of the discussion was: rename as Category:Female Buddhist clergy for now. However, this could be changed with a follow-up nomination: the only reason I didn't rename to Category:Bhikkhuni here is the reason set out the nominator later in the discussion—does this term include priestesses and nuns, and if so, we would need to merge this category and the nuns categories into one. We need more info to get everything sorted out correctly, so this rename is without prejudice to further proposals. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:14, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Propose renaming Category:Buddhist priestesses to Category:Female Buddhist clergy
- Nominator's rationale: Rename to match parent Category:Buddhist clergy. This change was clearly supported in the (long) discussion at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2014 June 2#Category:Several categories related to women clergy, but this category was not tagged as part of that nomination. – Fayenatic London 21:53, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose Does not match article titles. Instead, rename to Category:Bhikkhuni. Categories should be named following their parent articles. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:01, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Alternate Rename per SmokeyJoe. The earlier naming discussion kept Category:Christian nuns because the title already indicated the members would be female. This seems like the same situation. RevelationDirect (talk) 12:20, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment and question. I note that Buddhist priest redirects to Bhikkhu; so does Buddhist monk. There is no page for Buddhist priestess; Buddhist nun redirects to Bhikkuni. If there is no difference between Buddhist "priestess" and "nun", then should we not first be merging to category:Buddhist nuns, which not only exists but has a substantial hierarchy of like-named categories under it? If that needs renaming to Bikkhuni, then that could follow as a separate nomination. (Note: the parent category:Buddhist clergy also appears redundant to category:Buddhist sangha, and should probably be merged and redirected.) – Fayenatic London 20:36, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- rename to Category:Buddhist women clergy. We should go for names that actually make sense to most English speaking readers, but also avoid inaccuracies.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:43, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Historic textile machinery

- The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:47, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Nominator's rationale: per WP:SUBJECTIVE. The textile industry is absolutely historic and created the industrial revolution. But all three of the articles in this categories describe machinery that is still used in contemporary textile mills, albeit in updated models. No other category in the Category:Machinery subject tree includes "historic" because it is subjective whether you mean old, obsolete, and/or important.

- Upmerge Agree with all the above. SFB 16:42, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge -- Yes. Agree with all the above. A good example of over classification -- Clem Rutter (talk) 12:33, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
