Category talk:Ethnic groups by country

Presentations and pluralisations of peoples

 * The following OP has been multiply posted and my suggestion is that Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (ethnicities and tribes) might act as a centralised location for related discussion.

Use of the pluralisation of a demonym where this is possible

A recent successful RM was made for the following:

– And many similar articles which, on the same president, I would like moved - as would apply to all demonym based population describing articles in those cases those cases in which the plural form of the demonym differs from the singular form of the word.
 * Azerbaijani people → Azerbaijanis
 * Bahamian people → Bahamians
 * Bangladeshi people → Bangladeshis
 * Barbadian people → Barbadians
 * Bolivian people → Bolivians
 * Chilean people → Chileans
 * Colombian people → Colombians

(explanation was given)

As per: Albanians, Americans, Armenians, Australians, Austrians, List of Bahranis, Belarusians, Bosnians, Brazilians, Bulgarians, Lists of Cameroonians and Canadians, ...

As per WP:UCRN as demonstrated in searches ...

Designations that seemingly should remain as "... people" as the demonym retains the same form when indicating either singulars or plurals: Bhutanese people, British people and Chinese people,

Wikipedia:Naming conventions (ethnicities and tribes)

On this basis I would suggest that any editor with authority to directly make sensible changes to article and category contents could go ahead and make sensible moves (as relevant to article content naturally).

I would say that this issue also relates to content in which two ethnicities are mentioned such that relating to Afghan American(s) and perhaps this will also need to be sorted out at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (ethnicities and tribes).

I propose that the table on that project page might read as something like the following:

Peoples for which two nationalities/ethnicities/descents are referenced

In the case of people who are described by use of two national/ethnic descriptions I was interested to see the navigational content at: British Korean which reads as follow:

British Korean or Korean British may refer to:
 * Koreans in the United Kingdom
 * British people in North Korea
 * British people in South Korea
 * North Korea-United Kingdom relations
 * South Korea-United Kingdom relations
 * Eurasian (mixed ancestry) people of Korean and British descent

Mention of this content is also made at: Wikipedia talk:UK Wikipedians' notice board and, as potentially an example of good practice, I thought I would also present this content "here".


 * Again, this OP has been multiply posted and my suggestion is that Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (ethnicities and tribes) might act as a centralised location for related discussion. This is by no means meant as a discouragement of location specific discussion.

Ethnicity (and religion) by country
A table of ethnicities andcreligions etc by country would be very informative. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.94.232.105 (talk) 22:29, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
