should we follow the convention? or use singular?
Definitely ignore as many conventions as you can, and thereby make
development as hard as possible on yourself.
Really makes sense. A table has a collection of objects, plural.

Ah yes, Consternation over Convention!

I ask because I’ve seen debate on it and am not sure if the community
has reached a consensus. Objects named person corresponding to a
table named people seems brokenS, but I’m happy to do whatever is most
standard. Perhaps this issue is a dead horse?

The Rails convention is to use plural table names.

Why? One object is one person. The table contains data for many
objects – that is to say, many people.

I’d say so.
