"Ficticious Gitxsans"

There are none? Well yes, I think so! The title character in Lionel Davidson's highly acclaimed 1994 novel "Kolymsky Heights" is described as being of the Gitxsan tribe. If you think that could be an interesting fact for the article, feel free to add it. Thought I'd mention it on this page first :) -andy 217.50.62.49 (talk) 05:07, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Gitxsan people → Gitxsan – target page is redirect created by Kwami, June 28, 2011 contrary to WP:UNDAB or PRIMARYTOPIC. Skookum1 (talk) 05:32, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

• Oppose until the issue is addressed properly. These should be discussed at a centralized location.

There was a discussion once on whether the ethnicity should have precedence for the name, and it was decided it shouldn't. That could be revisited. But it really should be one discussion on the principle, not thousands of separate discussions at every ethnicity in the world over whether it should be at "X", "Xs", or "X people". — kwami (talk) 12:42, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

• Support as per the policy Wikipedia:Article titles#Use commonly recognizable names and the guideline Wikipedia:Naming conventions (ethnicities and tribes). The section Wikipedia:Article titles#Precision also applies given that Gitxsan is a redirect here. There is no need to redo any guideline as it already supports the un-disabiguated title.

• Support per nom. An identified people should be the primary topic of a term absent something remarkable standing in the way. bd2412 T 02:30, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
• Support per CambridgeBayWeather. In cases where the requested move simply eliminates the word "people", and the destination title is already a simple redirect to the current title, it is clear that guidelines favoring both precision and conciseness support the move.
