Alsea people → Alsea – target is a dab page, all items having their name source as the name of this people. The Alsea, Oregon title on that page is unincorporated and has only a population of 164 and cannot be construed as a more PRIMARYTOPIC than the people, nor can Alsea (company)'s Mexican-based food-chain conglomerate. The people article was originally at Alsea but was moved by Valfontis on Oct 1 2006 citing "in order to make Alsea a dab page", also re this in the people-page history making the people article into "Alsea (tribe)", this was then moved by Kwami to current title on June 7, 2010.

• Oppose until the issue is addressed properly. These should be discussed at a centralized location.

There was a discussion once on whether the ethnicity should have precedence for the name, and it was decided it shouldn't. That could be revisited. But it really should be one discussion on the principle, not thousands of separate discussions at every ethnicity in the world over whether it should be at "X", "Xs", or "X people". — kwami (talk) 12:50, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

• Support per nom. An identified people should be the primary topic of a term absent something remarkable standing in the way. bd2412 T 02:28, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
• Support as per the policy Wikipedia:Article titles#Use commonly recognizable names and the guideline Wikipedia:Naming conventions (ethnicities and tribes). There is no need to redo any guideline as it already supports the un-disabiguated title. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 04:45, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
