Would you please stop inventing words to overcategorize people with? Bearcat (talk) 21:37, 30 April 2010 (UTC)


 * You need to stop this right now. Wikipedia does not categorize people by invented words such as "Inukophone" or "Inuko-Tenois" or "Nunavoian", and we do not categorize people by the intersection of their ethnicity and their individual province or territory unless that intersection is itself recognized as a distinct community in its own right about which we can write a real, properly sourced article. Franco-Ontarian, for example, is an actual cultural identity that actually exists in the real world; "Anglo-Nunavoian" and "Inuko-Tenois" are not.


 * Please be advised that you can and will be editblocked if you don't cut it out. Bearcat (talk) 21:45, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Language categories
I obviously need to explain this again, though I have very little confidence that you're actually going to read and/or understand this: linguistic and/or ethnic categories are only subdivided by province or territory in the rare instance that the intersection actually constitutes an organized community of people who actually identify that way. There is an actual community of Franco-Ontarians whose existence, identity, history, community institutions, etc., can be verified in reliable sources, for instance, and an actual community of Anglo-Quebecers whose existence, identity, history, community institutions, etc., can be verified in reliable sources. There is not, however, an organized community of "Anglo-Nunavummiut", or an organized community of "English Ontarians". They're terms that simply do not exist.

Bottom line: if you have to invent a term that isn't in actual use in the real world to identify an actual linguistic or ethnic community that actually identifies itself with that term, then do not start an article or category. In fact, every single such "ethnic provincial" group that actually exists in the real world already has an article and associated category — so in reality, there isn't any such group you could possibly create now that won't get deleted as an original research invention. So you need to just stop it. Bearcat (talk) 18:19, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
