History of the Caribbean-Americans in Baltimore → History of Caribbean Americans in Baltimore – Caribbean-American is an adjective, while Caribbean American is a noun. The article title should be changed to remove this grammatical error. Additionally, by WP:DEFINITE and WP:CONCISE, the use of "the" should be dropped from this title because it simply is not necessary to convey the topic of the article. The use of the definite article in this case is clunky and should not be in use per WP:NATURALNESS. Mysterymanblue (talk) 21:31, 5 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Support 100% (and Support other similar moves) per WP:DEFINITE, WP:CONCISE, and especially WP:NATURALNESS and WP:CONSISTENT. You wouldn't say "I learned about the history of the Americans", you say "history of Americans" – and this isn't any different! (You're right, it sounds almost pejorative and othering with a "the".)
