Tewa people → Tewa – Target of move is redirect to current title. Redirect was created by the move of "Tewa" to "Tewa people" by Kwami on March 10, 2011 without discussion or comment, creating at WP:TWODABS page at Tewa in the process, on the false premise that a people's language is an equally PRIMARYTOPIC to the people. This was moved to Tewa (disambiguation)" on November 29 2011 by Uysvdi, citing TWODABS, and then a minute later redirecting to "Tewa people", citing WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. As per closures of similar RMs in recent days by Cuchulainn and others, "consensus has spoken" that the people are the PRIMARYTOPIC, as stated by him here re the Northern Tutchone title. Guidelines such as Wikipedia:Article titles#Use commonly recognizable names and the guideline Wikipedia:Naming conventions (ethnicities and tribes) call for this move, as does WP:Conciseness and WP:Precision, and more.

• Support. 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. Xoloz (talk) 02:19, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

  • I'm too tired to conduct google searches just now, I may return tomorrow with them unless someone else would care to indulge that task.Skookum1 (talk) 16:55, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
• What links here stats
  • "Tewa people" has c.125 incoming links, including via the Tewa redirect page which has 16 incoming links
  • "Tewa language" has 64 incoming links
  • how to google to find "Tewa" uses about the people separately from results about the language, like other titles of this kind, is tricky but I'll give it a try later.Skookum1 (talk) 17:09, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
