This category was created by me in December 2005 at a time when I wasn't aware of the rule that category names should be set into plural. I suggest to move its contents to Category:Lavabos. --AFBorchert 09:51, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd suggest Lavaboes [1] --rimshottalk 11:49, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's a Spanish word, and I'd consider "Lavabos" correct. - Jmabel | talk 18:54, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The Wiktionary entry for lavabo likewise suggests lavabos as plural. --AFBorchert 12:07, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm pretty sure the root in this case isn't Spanish, but Latin. Dictionary.com has lavaboes: [2], the American Heritage Dictionary has lavaboes: [3], Merriam-Webster has lavabos: [4], so I think it doesn't really matter which one we choose: both seem to be correct. --rimshottalk 12:46, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
According to Collins Dictionary of the English language, ISBN 3-12-517906-8, both variants are correct. This dictionary also states that the term originates from Latin and that it is associated with Psalm 26:6. --AFBorchert 14:49, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've requested the move to Lavabos, here, it will be done soon. --rimshottalk 22:24, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
