Category:People of the Philippines

Voting results:

"Filipino people" (1): VivaEmilyDavies

"People of the Philippines" (1): Kbdank71

No consensus. Default is to keep.

Move to Category:Filipino people - not only would this be consistent with the vast majority of nationalities (see Category:People by nationality), this category has a subcategory for "Filipino Americans", indicating that it is actually used for Filipino people in a wider sense than simply citizens or inhabitants of the Philippines. --VivaEmilyDavies 03:31, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

See discussion at #Category:People of Foo and Category:People from Foo below.

Agreed, makes sense to keep discussion there, but separate votes up here perhaps? This is slightly different in that it clearly has "Filipino Americans" as a subcat, indicating to me that it ought to be ambiguous between nationality and country.--VivaEmilyDavies 17:01, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. The naming conventions recommend using nouns instead of adjectives. -Kbdank71 13:40, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Comment: Please read the Wikipedia:Naming conventions (adjectives) you quoted. "The naming conventions for adjectives is a naming convention for how to create Wikipedia pages about adjectives" so "At the current time, elegant redirects to elegance, democratic redirects to democracy, and adjectival redirects to adjective". That's about redirects of articles, in the article space, whose title is purely an adjective. The relevant policy would actually be Wikipedia:Naming conventions (country-specific topics) but that is still in "proposed" state. --VivaEmilyDavies 17:01, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
