Language and people

edit

Yaquina (language) should probably have its own article, but since this one is such a small stub as it is, I'm leaving it this way until it gets expanded. Katr67 21:05, 16 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

– See rationale for this group of moves on Talk:Chipewyan people#Requested move. Not that many of the standalone forms are already redirects, indicating the previous unnecessary move. Skookum1 (talk) 09:37, 12 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

  • Oppose bulk nomination. Per e.g. English or Uzbek; it is common practice to have a disambiguation page when there is both Foo people and Foo language. Tassedethe (talk) 03:51, 13 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
    • by now you've seen my notes in reply on that issue on the Talk:Chipewyan people discussion; there is no such convention, and that "common practice" for North American indigenous topics was largely the work of one editor acting alone without consensus or without bonafide conventions/consensus behind him. And there are equally "common" practices which do not involve two and three-item dab pages when the primary topic is clear and the secondary items relate directly to the people.Skookum1 (talk) 04:32, 13 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
  • Procedural oppose any swapping of a page with a disambiguation page should be requested separately, for every swap instance, a separate discussion should occur. Any displacement of a disambiguation page and replacement of its location for some other use should also occur separately for each instance. These are all different primary topic discussions. Several of the targets are disambiguation pages, so overwriting a disambiguation page is a primary topic dispute, and should each be discussed separately. -- 70.50.151.11 (talk) 04:48, 13 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
    • Creating many of those disambiguation pages, e.g. Mi'kmaq, were not done by consensus or any discussion, and two/three item dab pages are frowned upon per WikiProject Disambiguation guidelines. Why should such bulk speedy-moves without any consultation or consensus be considered so legitimate that an item-by-item consensus is required to move them back? Doing things by fiat, then insisting on procedure to revert them, is not the way things should be done.Skookum1 (talk) 04:56, 13 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Comment on this close - WP:BATHWATER applies. Those that are redirects to current title should all have been moved for obvious reasons, whatever other dab/primary topic issue might be in only some. That many of these moves were done by speedy without any consensus at all, and in violation of various guidelines, is grating given the arduous nature of using procedure to correct wanton, ill-advised, needless moves. WP:UNDAB applies in all cases. Looks like I'm gonna have to re-RM all the redirect-to-current ones. Thanks for the workload. Have a nice day....I won't.Skookum1 (talk) 03:18, 20 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
