Objection to page move

[edit]

This page move should be reverted Gob Lofa. The common terminology to use is "Ethnic minorities" as not all people who are classified as such can be classified as "Immigrant communities", especially many of the second and third generation Chinese and Indians that live in Northern Ireland, and many may object to such teminology.

The standard manual of style on Wikipedia is for the article to be titled "Ethnic minorities in...". Just type "Ethnic minorities in" into the Wiki search bar and you will see just how many compared to only one article using "Immigrant communities", which obviously is this one.

There is no precedent or proper justification for this move. Also consider how the lede of the article still states "ethnic minorities" and nothing about "Immigrant communities". Mabuska (talk) 18:31, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't see any indigenous ethnic groups listed so I moved the article. Gob Lofa (talk) 12:32, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The article is in a bit of a poor state, but with some work it could easily cover a wider range of ethnic minorities. I support a return to the previous article name. Cordless Larry (talk) 20:10, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If the scope is broadened to include indigenous minorities, I've no problem with that. Gob Lofa (talk) 00:14, 29 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
