| Category:10K races |
rename "races" to "runs", to bring conformity with article names. Not quite a strong enough consensus here to override the article name and rename "K" to "km"—it could be the subject of a new rename proposal, though, if users want to pursue it |

rename according to option A.

|
| Category:Buddhist priestesses |
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. |
