Chinese schools in other places

I already listed Chinese schools at Palatine, Illinois (one there and one formerly there) and Hoffman Estates, Illinois (one now there) due to RSes mentioning the schools.

There is also one in Des Plaines, Illinois:

• The Chicago North Chinese School (T: 芝北中文學校, S: 芝北中文学校, P: Zhī Běi Zhōng​wén​ Xué​xiào) ... http://www.cncschool.org/english/contactus.html - Located at Oakton Community College

I want RSes so I can list it in Des Plaines... WhisperToMe (talk) 13:13, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Article Evaluation: This article is a good beginning to the explanation of Chinese immigrants in Chicago and how the population has grown over a period of time but they do not really go into details as to what that drive was to come to Chicago. They also don't have more current numbers because the cut off year seems to be in the late 1990s. They also do not explain how many media sources the Chinese community has within Chicago but not how this media was introduced or what had to be done to recognize the need for Chinese Media. For institutions, I would add more of what these places provide such as exhibits or programs that they hold. And lastly, for religion there are no actual numbers given they mostly describe the churches within the area of china town but no actual statistics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jruiz49 (talk • contribs) 05:34, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

– By WP:DEFINITE and WP:CONCISE, the use of "the" should be dropped from these titles because it simply is not necessary to convey the topics of the articles. Additionally, the use of the definite article in these cases is clunky and should not be in use per WP:NATURALNESS. For now, we can disregard the "political correctness" argument that using the definite article to refer to ethnic groups in certain cases is "othering" and a social wrong. While I personally think this argument is compelling, the true test of whether referring to "Chinese Americans" with "the" is acceptable can simply be conducted by looking at the wider media: In 2019, news articles mentioning "the Chinese Americans" were a very small fraction (1.4%) of articles mentioning "Chinese Americans". By WP:COMMONNAME, the titles of the articles should be changed to reflect this usage by the media. Mysterymanblue (talk) 21:02, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

• Support 100% (and Support other similar moves) per WP:DEFINITE, WP:CONCISE, and especially WP:NATURALNESS. You wouldn't say "I learned about the history of the Americans", you say "history of Americans" – and this isn't any different (it almost sounds pejorative with a "the")!
