+# Clippy Lint Renaming Table
+
+This document proposes renaming Clippy lints to better align with the Rust RFC 0344 naming conventions ([link](https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/0344-conventions-galore.html)).
+
+## Summary of Guidelines
+
+The RFC 0344 guidelines for lint naming state:
+
+1. **State the bad thing**: Lint names should state the bad thing being checked for (e.g., `deprecated`), so that `#[allow(deprecated)]` reads correctly.
+
+2. **Avoid redundant suffixes**: Lints that apply to arbitrary items should just mention what they check for (e.g., use `deprecated` rather than `deprecated_items`). However, when removing a suffix would leave an adjective without a noun (e.g., `private_items` → `private`), the suffix should be retained for clarity.
+
+3. **Use plural for specific classes**: If a lint applies to a specific grammatical class, mention that class and use the plural form (e.g., `unused_variables` rather than `unused_variable`). This document applies pluralization to all lint names ending in countable nouns, except those with convincing arguments to stay singular.
+
+4. **Prefer 'unused' terminology**: Lints that catch unnecessary, unused, or useless aspects of code should use the term `unused` (e.g., `unused_imports`, `unused_typecasts`).
+
+5. **Use snake_case**: Use snake case consistently, as you would for function names.
+
+## Pluralization Philosophy
+
+This document applies pluralization comprehensively to all lint names ending in countable nouns. The principle is:
+
+- **Use plural** when the last word is a countable noun and the lint can find multiple instances
+- **Use singular** only for:
+  - Macros (e.g., `dbg_macro` - refers to the macro itself)
+  - Traits (e.g., `default_trait_access` - refers to the trait concept)
+  - Patterns/concepts (e.g., `assign_op_pattern` - the pattern itself)
+  - Style/ordering/convention concepts
+  - Mathematical concepts (e.g., `cognitive_complexity`)
+  - Configuration concepts (e.g., `cargo_common_metadata`)
+
+**Note**: Pluralization is only applied when grammatically correct - the last significant word must be a noun, not a verb or adjective.
+
+## Proposed Renames
+
+Out of 791 total Clippy lints analyzed, 199 lints were identified as not following RFC 0344 guidelines.
+
+- **33 lints** use 'needless' instead of 'unnecessary' (all with plural forms)
+- **9 lints** use 'useless' instead of 'unused' (all with plural forms)
+- **2 lints** have redundant '_items' suffix (removed with pluralization)
+- **154 additional lints** need pluralization (noun endings)

+## Lints Kept Singular (Examples)
+
+The following categories of lints are appropriately kept singular:
+
+### Macros
+- `DBG_MACRO` - refers to the `dbg!` macro itself
+- `TODO_MACRO` - refers to the `todo!` macro itself
+- `PRINT_LITERAL` - refers to printing pattern
+
+### Traits
+- `DEFAULT_TRAIT_ACCESS` - refers to the `Default` trait concept
+- `FUTURE_NOT_SEND` - refers to the `Send` trait bound
+
+### Patterns and Concepts
+- `ASSIGN_OP_PATTERN` - refers to the assignment operator pattern
+- `MODULE_STYLE` - refers to module organization style
+- `ARBITRARY_SOURCE_ITEM_ORDERING` - refers to ordering concept
+- `COGNITIVE_COMPLEXITY` - refers to complexity metric
+
+## Lints Requiring Further Review
+
+The following lints may have names that don't clearly state the bad thing being checked for:
+
+| Current Name | What it checks | Issue | Suggested Alternative |
+|--------------|----------------|-------|----------------------|
+| `ALLOW_ATTRIBUTES` | Usage of `#[allow]` instead of `#[expect]` | Name suggests allowing is bad | Consider `MISSING_EXPECT_ATTRIBUTES` |
+| `ALLOW_ATTRIBUTES_WITHOUT_REASON` | `#[allow]` attributes without a reason parameter | Confusing nested "allow" | Consider `MISSING_ALLOW_REASONS` |
+| `USE_DEBUG` | Usage of Debug formatting in user-facing output | Name suggests positive action | Consider `DEBUG_IN_USER_OUTPUTS` |
+| `USE_SELF` | Unnecessary repetition of struct name instead of `Self` | Name suggests positive action | Consider `UNNECESSARY_STRUCT_NAMES` |
+
+**Note**: These suggestions use plural forms where appropriate.
+
+
+## Rationale
+
+### Why 'needless' should be 'unnecessary'
+
+The RFC 0344 guidelines don't mention "needless" as a standard term. The term "unnecessary" is more standard in technical writing.
+
+### Why 'useless' should be 'unused'
+
+Per guideline 4, lints that catch "unnecessary, unused, or useless aspects of code should use the term `unused`".
+
+### Why comprehensive noun-based pluralization
+
+Per guideline 3, when a lint applies to a specific grammatical class (countable nouns), it should use the plural form. This makes lint names more accurate:
+- `UNNECESSARY_BORROWS` - can find many unnecessary borrows
+- `AWAIT_HOLDING_LOCKS` - can detect multiple lock-holding issues
+- `CAST_PTR_ALIGNMENTS` - checks multiple pointer cast alignments
+
+This makes `#[allow(unnecessary_borrows)]` read correctly as "allow (multiple) unnecessary borrows".
+
+## Examples
+
+Before:
+```rust
+#[allow(needless_borrow)]  // Singular
+let x = &value;
+
+#[allow(await_holding_lock)]  // Singular
+let guard = mutex.lock().await;
+```
+
+After:
+```rust
+#[allow(unnecessary_borrows)]  // Plural
+let x = &value;
+
+#[allow(await_holding_locks)]  // Plural
+let guard = mutex.lock().await;
+```
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+- These are proposed renames only and require community discussion
+- Actual implementation would require updating lint declarations, tests, and documentation
+- Old lint names should be deprecated with clear migration paths
+- Consider using lint group aliases for backward compatibility
+- Update all documentation, including the Clippy book
