Merge proposal

Those displaced from New Orleans seem to be the only example of internally displace people, and the content therefore overlaps entirely with New Orleans diaspora. Given that Internally displaced persons in the United States is the broader topic, I suggest merging both here. Klbrain (talk) 20:21, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

Internally displaced persons in the United States → Hurricane Katrina diaspora – Hurricane Katrina is definitely not the only example of people being internally displaced in the United States, and so the current page title is pretty misleading. I agree that "New Orleans diaspora" is too narrow, since New Orleans was just one of many locations affected by Katrina, but "Hurricane Katrina diaspora" or similar would pretty accurately reflect the actual scope of the article.

This actually seems to be the result of a merger a few years ago. Pinging Klbrain. -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 01:24, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Prior to the merge, the two pages were essentially in the topic covered, so it made sense to consolidate them to the broader topic. My feeling is that it would be better to expand Internally displaced persons in the United States with other examples, of which the consequences of Katrina would be just one. This would fit with the structure of other country pages in Category:Internally displaced persons. However, if this isn't going to happen, then moving to a more specific title is fine. As to what that title should be is anoth question! Diaspora from an event seems like a very odd use of the term; it might be better to use something like Displacement after Hurricane Katrina, a phrase used in:Varano, Sean P.; Schafer, Joseph A.; Cancino, Jeffrey M.; Decker, Scott H.; Greene, Jack R. (January 2010). "A tale of three cities: Crime and displacement after Hurricane Katrina". Journal of Criminal Justice. 38 (1): 42–50. doi:10.1016/j.jcrimjus.2009.11.006..

I agree that it seems more common for diasporas to be named after regions as opposed to specific events, but prior to making this move request I was able to find multiple instances of "Katrina diaspora" or similar in reliable sources, including the book Displaced: Life in the Katrina Diaspora (ISBN 0292735782), articles in the Washington Post, New York Times, and Wall Street Journal, and this US government report. Not opposed to your suggestion, however. Ionmars10 (talk) 00:26, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

Support Displacement after Hurricane Katrina, which is a clear descriptive title. "Katrina diaspora" seems more like an artistic turn of phrase. Dekimasuよ! 05:24, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
