Tolowa people → Tolowa – target page is redirect to current title, which was moved/redirected by Carrite on Sept 6 2012, citing "Matches common form used for equivalent Native American tribal peoples)"; contrary to WP:UNDAB and WP:Conciseness. Skookum1 (talk) 04:31, 20 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

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) 12:49, 20 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Support per nom. An identified people should be the primary topic of a term absent something remarkable standing in the way. bd2412 T 02:40, 22 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
Support as per the policy Wikipedia:Article titles#Use commonly recognizable names and the guideline Wikipedia:Naming conventions (ethnicities and tribes). The section Wikipedia:Article titles#Precision also applies given that Tolowa redirects here. There is no need to redo any guideline as it already supports the un-disabiguated title.
