Talk:Street vendors in Latin America

This article should not exist separately from hawker (trade). Ambulantes is not an English word, and simply describes street vendors ie hawkers. Therefore, this information should be consolidated back into the hawkers article and this separate entry deleted. It is against Wikipedia policy to have separate articles for the same thing.

Changed article title to Street vendors in Latin America
As I mentioned in my previous comment, it is not possible to have a separate article for ambulantes, because an ambulante is simply a Spanish word for "street vendor" (American English) or "hawker" (British/Commonwealth English. There is already an article about street vendors; the article title is hawker (trade). An "ambulante" is not anything intrinsically different, except that this is the term used in Mexico and some other parts of the Spanish-speaking Americas. Thus, the "ambulantes" article covered information about street vendors in Latin America - so I changed the article title to that, giving it a "reason" to exist separately from the "hawker" article.

Poor article quality
The article quality is still pretty poor. It does not in any way show the full range of street vendor (or ambulante) types in Latin America; the range of goods, the top issues, etc. It seems to be pulled together from a variety of random sources. Geographically it also gives random information -- something about Cuban music here, Antigua Guatemala there, Mexico there... To exist as a separate article from hawker (trade), an attempt should be made to research and write a well-rounded article on the subject. Keizers (talk) 05:36, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
