:* '''Propose renaming''' [[:Category:Clippers]] to [[:Category:Clippers (ships)]]
:'''Nominator's rationale:''' [[Talk:Clipper (disambiguation)#Requested move 26 June 2019]] was closed as no consensus to disambiguate the ship at [[Clippers]] (singular), while [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2019 July 5#Clippers]] was closed as retarget "Clippers" to [[Clipper (disambiguation)]] which previously targeted [[Los Angeles Clippers]]. While the singular "Clipper" is certainly ambiguous, the plural "Clippers" is more so given that the tools for cutting things are more commonly known in the plural form. [[:Category:Friends]] was converted into a DAB page as a result of [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2019 April 2#Category:Friends]] despite the article being at [[Friends]] because again plural are used in the category namespace and there is more risk of confusion. In addition [[:Category:Plymouth]] and [[:Category:Perth]] are DAB pages even though [[Plymouth]] and [[Perth]] aren't. [[:Category:Clippers]] should become a DAB to and can also include [[:Category:San Diego Clippers]], [[:Category:Los Angeles Clippers]], [[:Category:Columbus Clippers]], [[:Category:Baltimore Clippers]], [[:Category:Agua Caliente Clippers]], [[:Category:Oakland Clippers]] and [[:Category:Concordia Clippers]]. Some editors at the RM suggested using "Clipper ship", thus [[:Category:Clippers ships]] might be a possibility.

*'''Oppose'''. No need; one looking for another usage will be referred there; those looking for the nautical usage (which itself is the parent of some others) will already be where they wanted to be. [[User:Kablammo|Kablammo]] ([[User talk:Kablammo|talk]]) 17:20, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
*:Why? as noted the name "Clippers" is highly ambiguous and there was even resistance to point {{No redirect|Clippers}} in the article space away from the NBA team.
