The result of the discussion was: rename. – Fayenatic London 11:39, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename. This category represent an inappropriate implementation of the guideline WP:ENDASH. One example that is given is that of singer-songwriter: "Wrong: a singer–songwriter; not separate persons, so use a hyphen: a singer-songwriter". Like singer-songwriters, each cleric-scientist is one person, and so it should be hyphenated, not endashed, just like Category:Singer-songwriters.

  • ugh I dislike these "one job-another job" formulations, but it has a list, and sources. Can I still not like it? I'm just going to register that. the same for actor-politicians and other hyphenated annoyances. Why can't we just use category intersection to find "Footballer/philosophers" and "Rabbi/biologists" and "Actor/directors" and so on and so forth. Must we really create these two-job-intersection categories? ah, yes, I know, reliable sources, blah blah.--Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 22:47, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename per nom. Lwarrenwiki (talk) 12:51, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename according to nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:46, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Listify and Delete. We really need to cut down on the number of two occupations categories.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:19, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: The category violates WP:OC#EPONYMOUS. There is also no point for that category since Andy Lau filmography and Andy Lau discography already exist. Timmyshin (talk) 02:07, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete – an excellent illustration of the dangers of eponymous categories. Oculi (talk) 13:19, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Lwarrenwiki (talk) 12:51, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete, there isn't enough valid content to warrant an eponymous category.--Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 16:20, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
