Whitelist → Whitelisting – To keep consistent with the polar opposite subject, Blacklisting. Alternatively, Blacklisting could be moved to blacklist. ToThAc (talk) 16:22, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

• Oppose But support moving Blacklisting to Blacklist, since all of the child articles are in the noun form._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 19:56, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose But support alternative as per ZXCVBNM. Shadow007 (talk) 00:06, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
• Support We use WP:NOUNs for titles, and this article is not explicitly talking about specific blacklist or whitelist, its talking about the practice of making a blacklist. The current title and alternate proposal would use this as a verb, which is something we can only use (per WP:NOUN) if we use the gerund form (-ing), per articles like swimming or the similar concern raised at the RM recently at tiger parenting. -- Netoholic @ 12:19, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
• Support per Netoholic, mostly. "Swim" in the sense of "take a swim" and "whitelist" in the sense of "he's on the whitelist" are both nouns, but "whitelisting" and "swimming" are gerund forms and thus conform to our rules. As Netoholic says, the encyclopedia topic here is the practice of making the list. Dekimasuよ! 01:29, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

Blacklisted

Extended content
The following is a closed discussion. Please do not modify it.
Old title: I trust my sources of information. Written by scholars, academics and students of history. I'm being silenced and the references that I've used are being blacklisted and forcibly removed. Can someone help me and reverse this? There's a hidden agenda, they're trying to split hair here. Edited MJL 03:15, 4 June 2020 (UTC) The Tigre community and I are trying to tell the general history of the Tigre people, written and told by Tigres themselves. However, astonishing set of claims on the Tigre people page. Set of ideology, a mixture of just cherry-picked quotes facts and figures self serving, selective, a farrago of distortions, misrepresentations, misinterpretations, putting forward these sweeping opinions. I'm following the trail of evidence on the Tigre people's religion, traditions and accustoms, using trusted sources from academics and using reliable citations. They are falsifying the history, using eloquent language to change peoples thoughts, trying to cause confusion on the reality. The Tigre people are defenceless people like many communities in Eritrea. I tried showing the melting pot that has existed in Eritrea over the centuries because of its very strategic location on the Red Sea which made it significant in anciet times using BBC sites and video clips as referencing but got deleted by marauding group supporting the current Eritrean government known internationally for his poor human rights record in Eritrea and across the region, which I don't need to say, everyone knows. Wikipedia should be calling these user accounts for accountability and to use referencing and citation. The Tigre people and other communities have illustrious history unknown to some due to the users inaccurate opinion of things. They need to stop combining everyone into one ideology which is not right anyway. They're saying because we're saying we are Eritrean that this is what we want, which is not true. There are other perspectives not just theirs. They're trying to split hair here. The Tigre, Bilen, Saho, Afar, Beja and Rashida pages are being distorted. We reference our reports, they dont. We trust our sources of information. The reality is the users are supporting a well known and understood regime that don't accept Muslim Eritreans despite making 50% of the population. Isais Awferki's hand picked by the Ethiopians and is not a true representation of the public. Muslims and Christian Eritreans get along its just the government. Please dont give them platform to impose their opinion of things. There is a real solitary amongst all Eritreans and the international community. Both Christian and Muslims know enough to reject this bluff. Christians are also being persecuted. Please stop the users (Awferki's allies) from imposing this dishonest, offensive ideology. They have an amnesiac streak when it comes to acknowledging the immigrant blood in their veins. Due to the strategic position of the country, many ancient civilisations came and mixed with the pre-existing population. Period.

Move?

I'm not sure about the above-described move from Whitelist to Whitelisting. Looking at the content, the opposite subject is Blacklist (computing), not Blacklisting. GregorB (talk) 17:37, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

"Inclusive?"

The article mentions changing the term in favour of something "more inclusive" but fails to explain why it's a problematic term in the first place. Wikipedia is not a place for activitism...
