• Oppose. Redirecting to a disambiguation page would just guarantee that no one would arrive at their desired article when searching "Cheyenne". Cheyenne, Wyoming and Cheyenne language are instantly accessible through the hatnote and infobox on Cheyenne, which should continue as the primary topic, since all other uses of the term come from their name.

• Oppose per primary and long-term significance (almost everything on the page is named for the tribe, thus affirming long-term significance in naming practices). Randy Kryn (talk) 15:17, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
• Comment. Here's a similar proposed move that resulted in "not moved": Talk:Cheyenne#Requested move 2 February 2015. User:Maunus pointed out that "the Great Native American Move War of 2014 resulted in a kind of consensus that the indigenous groups are the primary topics for their names and that consequently we don't need to have 'X people' articles, they should be located directly at X."

  I don't think that discussion has much relevance, it had the only reason as "people" with no comment about what do do the the base name. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:18, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

It has relevance because the argument is that indigenous peoples are always the primary topics for their names. It does not apply only to people articles, but this is one of the people article, and indeed one where it is the primary reference.·maunus · snunɐɯ· 18:17, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

The entire linked discussion is completely relevant and resulted in "not moved" then, as this will as well. Perhaps this will get rehashed a decade in the future too. Yuchitown (talk) 18:19, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

Discussions where there is no reason given and no indication about what do do with the base name (as its going to be less obvious without titles that aren't qualified but may be naturally disambiguated) commonly result in consensus against a move but when a reason and intention on what to do with the base name are given are more likely to result in consensus.
