Is there another way to phrase this? Dominicans could mean monks of the Dominican Order (as it is currently used), or Category:People of the Dominican Republic or Category:People of Dominica. The same for Category:Dominican schools, Category:Dominican publications, Category:Statues of Dominicans, Category:Sculptures of Dominicans, and Category:Paintings of Dominicans.

- You can create a disambiguation page.--Allforrous (talk) 15:15, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Allforrous: Well, maybe if it's necessary, but my question is, what do we name the categories for the order? Category:Scholars from the Dominican Order, Category:Schools of the Dominican Order, Category:Publications of the Dominican Order, Category:Statues of members of the Dominican order etc, as per Category:Dominican Order? Or instead, from/of "the Order of Dominicans" per Category:Organisation of the Order of Dominicans or something else? - Themightyquill (talk) 09:07, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
- It is appropriate to rename: Category: ... of the Dominican Order and Category: ... of the Dominican Republic, to avoid disambiguation.--Allforrous (talk) 16:14, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
- Please pay attention, there is a general category: see= Category:Catholic clergy scientists and Category:Roman Catholic monks in art by order.--Carolus (talk) 16:52, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
- "Dominican" is not specific enough for use as an adjective to combine with a common noun. In these cases, it should be made clear whether one is refering to Dominica, the Dominican Republic or the Dominican Order if there is any chance that more than one could apply. Note, this only applies for use with common nouns. Use in proper nouns should remain (see below about the Dominican Navy for a case of this) the correct proper noun, not made into a neologism.

- Let me be very clear: the only correct cat is Category:Scholars of the Dominican Order, so i do not see why User:Allforrous created a double category? If there is no reason, please delete and only keep Category:Scholars of the Dominican Order, kr.--Carolus (talk) 20:55, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

- @Carolus: Would you be okay with a move to Category:Scholars from the Dominican Order? We don't want to end up with ley scholars who study the dominican order here. - Themightyquill (talk) 23:59, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
Done: deleted as empty. --JuTa 17:21, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
