Kaska and Anatolia[edit]

Kaska was people in North Anatolia, in Hittite area.

--IonnKorr 21:51, 29 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

A suggestion:

Kaska is so generally the name of the "Kaskians" [sic] of Wikipedia that the following arrangement might be preferred:

Kaska Dena, one of the First People of northwest North America.
Kaska, the inveterate enemies of the Hittites.
Kaska (disambiguation) disambiguating page with the above text.

Might there be drawbacks to such a change? Please respond at Talk:Kaskians. --Wetman (talk) 23:09, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion in progress[edit]

Requested move[edit]

The result of the proposal was moved. --BDD (talk) 23:25, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Kaska people → Kaska Dena – target is redirect to "Kaska people" created by Luigizanasi on Aug 13 2005 then moved by bot on Feb 1, 2011 in the wake of being moved by Kwami on Feb 1 2011 with no regard to PRIMARYTOPIC or WP:UNDAB or WP:ETHNICGROUPS (though citing his own self-authored WP:NCLANG guideline which is contravention of "all of these above"). How these people style themselves and are commonly known in modern Canadian English, which is Kaska Dena therefore per WP:ETHNICGROUP should be the preferred move Skookum1 (talk) 05:41, 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) 12:41, 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 02:35, 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 Kaska Dena is a redirect here. There is no need to redo any guideline as it already supports the un-disabiguated title.

Support per CambridgeBayWeather. In cases where the requested move simply eliminates the word "people", and the destination title is already a simple redirect to the current title, it is clear that guidelines favoring both precision and conciseness support the move.
