Iraqi Britons → British Iraqis — 'British Iraqis' is the commoner term. A Google search (when Wikipedia sites are filtered out) gives 'Iraqi Britons' only 30 hits, whereas "British Iraqis" has 1,000 hits, including many reliable sources such as the BBC —Cop 663 (talk) 15:37, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Survey

 * Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with  or  , then sign your comment with  . Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.


 * Support per conventional British usage. Here, we refer to British Asians, British Orientals and British Arabs, rather than the other way around.  81.110.106.169 (talk) 16:39, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Discussion

 * Any additional comments:

Wouldn't "British Iraqis" tend to suggest people of British ancestry living in Iraq? (a la "African American") Wilhelm meis (talk) 21:21, 26 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Not if the first sentence read "British Iraqis are people of Iraqi ancestry who were born or were raised in the United Kingdom." The point is to use the term that is commonly used. Cop 663 (talk) 14:14, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

to wikinek and other people with an Arabik bias
what kind of nonsense is it that Kurds are not Iraqis? May I remind you that the Iraqi president is a Kurd? The times of Saddam is over, Tarik Aziz will never regain power. Pan Arabists and Assyrian supremacists better come to the reality--Babakexorramdin (talk) 07:24, 3 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I am not being biased, ask any Kurd if they identify themselves as Iraqi and they will punch your lights out. There is a seperate article for British Kurds anyway, and as for the Iraqi president being Kurd well we all know he was put in power by a higher being...the United States, the majority of the Iraqi population is Arab so why would they vote for a Kurd; a people who are striving for independance and will inevitably break Iraq...seems a little odd dont you think?!
