  • CarerCarers —(Discuss)— Carer as a singular noun is a dictionary definition, not an encylopedia article, whilst Carers signifies a collective social movement in all societies with an aging population that has major social and economic implications —Excalibur 19:37, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is proposed that Carer be renamed and moved to Carers, for the reason that carer is merely a dictionary definition of an individual in an unpaid caring role, whilst Carers is a widely-used term in most English speaking countries to denote a social and political class or movement of persons who look after an elderly or disabled relative or friend without payment.
