Mro people (Awa Khami)Awa Khami people – (Hi, I want to request to all wikipedians this title moved to Awa Khami people) Thanks .Moyezan (talk) 11:43, 17 May 2020 (UTC) Relisting. King of ♥ 04:40, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  1. the Mro-Khimi, Wakim or Awa Khami people, described in this article, Mro people (Awa Khami);
  2. the Taung Mro, Mru or Mrucha people, described in another article which has had several titles and recently moved to Mro people (Mru).
Putting the Mrucha aside for a moment, what would be the best title for the Mro/Awa Khami article? Is their most commonly recognizable name "Mro", "Awa Khami", or something else?
  • If it's "Mro" then the current title is probably best. Mro and Mro people can refer to either group and, as ambiguous titles with no clear primary topic, correctly lead to a disambiguation page. In this case, we need a distinguishing qualifier, and "(Awa Khami)" seems to be a good choice, so I would oppose the move.
  • If it's "Awa Khami" then I would support the move as proposed.
  • If it's a close call between the two then I would also support the move as natural disambiguation.
  • If it's something else then we should consider moving the article to that title instead.
Sorry for the long essay but I hope that helps. Certes (talk) 14:47, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New proposal: Mro-Khimi people

[edit]
  • New proposal: move Mro people (Awa Khami)Mro-Khimi people. This title matches one alternative in Ethnologue and Joshua Project. It seems to combine elements of both the current title and that to which the page was temporarily moved. I add the qualifier "people" because Joshua Project also refers to the language as "Mro-Khimi". Could everyone, especially Moyezan and Yomeo, accept the title "Mro-Khimi people" for this article?

  • Support This peer-reviewed academic source (pp. 131-132) confirms that "Mro-Khimi" is the self-designation of the speakers. The source itself calls the language simply "Mro", and the ethnic group "Mro Chin" (and FWIW, the other debated group in Bangladesh is called "Mru" in the source).
NB: Joshua Project is a weak source, since they usually simply copy the nomenclature used in the Ethnologue.Austronesier (talk) 14:40, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No need to move Mro people to Awa Khami

[edit]

(Hi Do not confused Mru or Mrucha people and Mro or Mro ( Wakim ) or Mro Khami. If we says Mro, there is evidence till now, who has been living in Chin state and Rakhin state as Mro or Mro ( Wakim ), Mro Khami. Hi Moyezan! I think you thought Mrucha as Mro. dont confuse with Mrucha or Taungmro or locally called Dak. --Yomeo (talk) 12:05, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop considering only for Mru People who call themselves Mrucha and Marked as Mro in languages. Please think there are a lots of Mro people in historical region ( Southern Chin State ( Sami region) and Rakhin State). They speak Mro, Mro ( Wakim ), Mro Khimi. EVERY ETHNIC PEOPLE DOES NOT WANT TO LOST THEIR ARTICLE NAME, HISTORY, CULTURE AND LANGUAGES AND LAND. --Yomeo (talk) 12:14, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yomeo: We want to engage in a constructive discussion about the topic. I understand your concerns, but please tell us in a concise and calm way what you want to say, without ALLCAPS (which equals WP:shouting) and drama (incl. edit warring and disruptive page moves), and please also provide reliable sources. Thank you! –Austronesier (talk) 09:35, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For my local research knowledge, Awakhami is just internal conversation name of their relationship, It does not represent the whole Mro ethnic. By doing so, Mro people will be split up. So, Mro people naming is the best way to united among them. Thanks "Austronesier" --Yomeo (talk) 16:07, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Uniting groups in causes isn't Wikipedia's job. We're here to reflect what reliable, independent sources are reporting.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  12:40, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
