Haitian Creole people → Haitian people – per WP:UCN (use common names). —  AjaxSmack  02:03, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Although entirely unreferenced except for the infobox figures, the article states in the intro that "In Haiti everyone born there is Creole". People from Haiti are usually referred to as "Haitians" or "Haitian people". Compare Google Books results of 73,800 hits for "Haitian people" versus only 5 hits for "Haitian Creole people". "Haitian people" currently redirects to Haiti. Also possibly of interest is a move discussion at Talk:Haitian Creole language. —  AjaxSmack  02:03, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

• It's unclear to me whether this article describes an ethnic group or a national one. I would respectively support and oppose the proposal, but I'm not sure the article itself knows. "In Haiti everyone born there is Creole" suggests a national group, but the category "Creole peoples" suggests an ethnic one. I'm tagging the article as contradictory and withholding judgment until this is sorted out. --BDD (talk) 15:57, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

The very notion of a creole language or culture is one arising from ethnic plurality -- therefore trying to define a creole ethnic group is something of a fool's errand.

SUPPORT -- the motion to rename the article is well founded.

Haitian ethnic race

Hi I would like to say not all Haitians are a mixed ethnic group from Africa ,many Haitians have Native Indians, french,Spanish,German,Polish and other ancestry, and 80-85 percent of Haitian are not pure Africans because the Haitian government does not take census and no one has been tested and remember not all the Native Indian died out(They mixed with the Africans) ,Haiti was once ruled by France and Spain ,The United States soliders occupied Haiti of German descent and many ethnicity such as the Arab, Asian and Jewish have migrated and own some of Haiti's wealth such as opening small business. Also if you look at Haiti's past president and the current president they are not pure African descent.Northern,Southern,Western,Eastern Haiti has all types of people of color for example Fond de Blance,Jaceml,Port de Paix,and many places and the only place with Pure Africans descent would be Port Au-Prince(Seen on the news after the tragic earthquake) but that does not include Pettionville(a multicultural city),and the founding fathers were not all pure African descent.So I would like to say the information is inaccurate and it should state 90-95 percent of Haitian are of primarly of African descent but not of pure African ancestry because they have French,Native Indian,Spanish,German,Polish,Jewish,and other ethnicities and also it should state Haitians are a nation and ethnic group of various backgrounds of African ,European,Native Indians (Awarak,Taino,Carib)and Eastern Asian background.Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ayiti1 (talk • contribs) 20:07, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

The Creoles of Sonya Haiti?

I have never heard of this terminology, nor have I been able to find any sources on it. Furthermore, the origins section has a more Louisianan take on the people of Haiti, while unsourced. Creole is a language in Haiti, whereas mulattos or mulats (in Haitian Creole) are used to refer to European and African mixtures. What's "Sonya Haiti"? Potential challenge here.

"White Creoles and Black Creoles...?" This is not Haitian terminology at all. I believe this is largely in part due to its first creation of this article being incorrectly called "Haitian Creole people." It seems as if the editor was trying to accommodate this.
