Disambig

Maybe Casual should point to a disambig. page instead of here. Thoughts? -Dwiki 21:11, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. This should be "casual wear" except for the last paragraph, which should be "casual work" or "casual employment". I'll give it another week and then do it. Itsmejudith 09:57, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What does "daywear" mean?

Casual → Casual attire – Per WP:PRECISION (to narrow down the scope rather than dealing with a general adjective pertaining more suitably to Wiktionary) as well as, most imortantly, per WP:CONSISTENCY with informal attire. Chicbyaccident (talk) 00:42, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I support this move. In fact, the "Casual" article name should actually be a redirect to a "Casual (disambiguation)" page, too. --Doug Mehus (talk) 02:17, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support – the adjective title is too ambiguous, and we prefer noun forms. Dicklyon (talk) 05:05, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Strong support per PRECISION Red Slash 15:13, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support. The adjective "casual" is used in a lot of contexts other than clothing dress codes, so the title of an article about this needs to be more precise. Agreed that the plain title should land at a disambiguation page rather than this, but the dab page should be moved here rather than this redirecting to the dab page's current title. Bearcat (talk) 19:38, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Strongly support per nom. We might want to also move Casual (disambiguation) → to "Casual". Paintspot Infez (talk) 23:55, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support and move Casual (disambiguation) to Casual. Rreagan007 (talk) 21:00, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom and support a move of Casual (disambiguation) to Casual. — AjaxSmack 02:18, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: move the page to Casual wear at this time, per the discussion below. Dekimasuよ! 21:00, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Casual attire → Casual wear – This is the WP:COMMONNAME (Google News: [1] vs. [2]; Google Books: [3] vs. [4]. It's also consistent with the decision in the move request at Formal wear. Cúchullain ^t/c 14:43, 5 July 2018 (UTC)--Relisting. Dekimasuよ! 17:57, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support, per nom and common name. And casual wear, it's casual, and "attire" is a little too formal sounding for "casual". But officially per nom and common name. Randy Kryn (talk) 22:17, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for now, only because I'm not sure how to interpret this massive spike in use of "casual attire" starting in ~2000 reported by Google Ngrams. Making the same search case-sensitive also shows a swap in dominant usage of "casual attire", though the degree is less. -- Netoholic @ 06:51, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support per WP:CONSISTENCY. If any article of this sort should be at "attire" it would be Formal attire, which redirects to Formal wear. I would not be opposed to a reverse move of that sort, and leaving this one as-is. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 00:15, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support as a common name. Anarchyte (work | talk) 12:07, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
