Why would consolate locations need a citation? Speling12345 (talk) 6:47, 13 December 2013 (UTC) Mainly to prove that they exist. I mean, I understand the Wikipedia principle is to generally cite what is likely to be challenged, but I mainly operate in the presumption that 90% of material can be challenged.

– By WP:DEFINITE and WP:CONCISE, the use of "the" should be dropped from these titles because it simply is not necessary to convey the topics of the articles. Additionally, the use of the definite article in these cases is clunky and should not be in use per WP:NATURALNESS. For now, we can disregard the "political correctness" argument that using the definite article to refer to ethnic groups in certain cases is "othering" and a social wrong. While I personally think this argument is compelling, the true test of whether referring to "Central Americans" with "the" is acceptable can simply be conducted by looking at the wider media: In 2019, news articles mentioning "the Central Americans" were a very small fraction (2.7%) of articles mentioning "Central Americans". By WP:COMMONNAME, the titles of the articles should be changed to reflect this usage by the media. Mysterymanblue (talk) 00:27, 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".)
