Requested move (2014)[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Moved to Alaska native corporation. If people care a lot about the capitalization they may need to collect some more data and file a new RM, if they don't like this version. EdJohnston (talk) 03:50, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Alaska Native Regional Corporations → Alaska Native Corporation – There are a few issues involved here. First is a WP:COMMONNAME one, in that these are more commonly referred to without the "regional" designation. I found "Alaska Native Corporations" to be more common in general, Books, and Scholar Google searches, so it passes my COMMONNAME rule of thumb. (Theoretically some such results could be referring to any corporation run by Alaska Natives, but I didn't see many false positives.) Second is a WP:SINGULAR issue. While this fits "Articles on groups or classes of specific things," my experiences at Talk:Scottish clan/Archive 1#Requested move have made me think I should err on the side of a singular title. Finally, the corresponding category is Category:Alaska Native regional corporations, so there might be a capitalization issue to discuss (we can also WP:C2D that category based on what happens here). I think the current capitalization is correct, though, since this is a specific type of legal entity. To make things easier on the closer, I will accept any name that excludes "Regional," regardless of plural form or capitalization. --Relisted.

Rightfully, this is a sub-topic of Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act rather than an island unto itself, as the corporations were creations of ANCSA. Then again, so were the regions. For the purposes of this discussion, the use of "regional" appears to be in distinguishing regional corporations from village corporations. This makes no sense, in that the article covers both. They are most commonly referred to as "Native corporations", without strict adherence to that capitalization. "Native corporation" generally refers to a single company. "ANCSA corporations" also makes sense, but I don't believe that to be in common use, especially outside Alaska. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RadioKAOS (talk • contribs) 01:36, 11 April 2014‎

The title of this entry should be renamed or dual-linked as "ANCSA Regional and Village Corporations" as it discusses both Regional (as the current title suggests) and Village Corporations.

There is currently a non-working link within the page for "ANCSA Regional and Village Corporations", but where else should it link but to this page? -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.239.246.171 (talk • contribs)

I'd like to see a discussion of the more and less successful corporations and their management. I know it's hard to do that and remain unbiased, but let's see some results! -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.90.196.243 (talk • contribs)

==WP:IPNA sorting== I have sorted the article for WP:IPNA to B class for the following reasons:

Citations. They are completely lacking. And there isn't a references section. See WP:CITE
Lead. The lead could use some work. See WP:LEAD
