Thread:Plurals in category names (1)

Whether a name should be plural or singular is probably arbitrary, but a guideline should be set, otherwise we end up with multiple categories for the same subject, because someone didn't know which was appropriate.

I stated in my draft they should be plural, if possible and logical, because this is what I most frequently see in other wikis. See: WP's general conventions and special conventions. My explanation is obviously not as detailed as WP's, but I would like it to become that specific.

However, what I've noticed is that WE's current convention is mostly singular nouns for list categories, i.e. Category:English teacher. So, what I really need is to hear some discussion on this. Basically, do we forge onward with our own naming conventions (which will generally involve lots of deliberation), or should we model off WP (which involves lots of category name changing)?
