Requested move 22 February 2015

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Moved. No actual opposition to the proposal, and some support with valid reasoning. (non-admin closure) — Amakuru (talk) 10:18, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Anchor babies in Hong Kong → Birth tourism in Hong Kong – "Anchor babies" should not be used here. The term "anchor baby" is not a generic, neutral English expression; rather, it is a politically charged term used specifically in the context of the US immigration controversy, and its use in a non-US, non-English-speaking context as if it were a neutral generic term is inappropriate. — Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 23:03, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What about usage in Hong Kong? Americans are notably squeamish about using terms that are perfectly acceptable in other parts of the world and this is not Ameropedia. (The Anchor Baby film from Nigeria belies the claim of worldwide fear of the term.) I've seen the term used some even by the SCMP and the likes although usually in scare quotes (and, despite what you may have heard, many speak English in Hong Kong). Having said that, the proposed title (birth tourism in Hong Kong) or another more precise and common term like maternity tourism in Hong Kong more precisely describes the article's contents (which are not about the babies but the process). Therefore, support a move per WP:PRECISION. — AjaxSmack 02:12, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If anyone can provide sources showing the term "anchor baby" being used in Hong Kong's English-language media to describe Hong Kong's birth tourism situation, I would definitely like such sources to be included here. Even if such sources do exist, though, I would still prefer to have the article renamed unless the article were to end up being refocussed as a discussion of the term "anchor baby" itself. — Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 05:23, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Hong Kong is an English-speaking locality, so it is an English-speaking context. -- 70.51.200.101 (talk) 06:15, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
