It appears that at least a chunk of this article has been copied verbatim from Haida Art. I'll remove the two paragraphs obviously copied and stick a copyright violation template on. Pfly (talk) 02:15, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I didn't remove any text, not realizing the copyright violation template would be so...powerful. So I left the article as it was when I came across it today. A further point of confusion here is that this is tagged a disambiguation page. The main page seems to be Haida people. Pfly (talk) 03:33, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You're right, there already is an article. Aside from the book, I found copyvios from http://www.historylink.org/index.cfm?DisplayPage=output.cfm&File_Id=5171, http://www.historylink.org/index.cfm?DisplayPage=output.cfm&File_Id=5100, http://www.ani-kutani.com/nativeamericanfacts/alaskaallotmentact.htm, etc. Historylink is CC-licensed but non-commercial.--NortyNort (Holla) 12:45, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Haida → Haida (disambiguation) – Please see Talk:Haida people#Requested move and centralize discussion there. Skookum1 (talk) 07:25, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There was a discussion once on whether the ethnicity should have precedence for the name, and it was decided it shouldn't. That could be revisited. But it really should be one discussion on the principle, not thousands of separate discussions at every ethnicity in the world over whether it should be at "X", "Xs", or "X people". — kwami (talk) 12:57, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • That issue is not directly germane to this rename. The disambiguation pages at "X" can be moved to "X (disambiguation)" on primary topic concerns. That is not the same as whether the ethnic groups should move from "X people" to "X". "X" can redirect to "X people", "X" needn't be a disambiguation page, instead "X people" can have a hatnote indicating {{redirect|Haida}}
      "Haida" redirects here. For other uses, see Haida (disambiguation).

view stats per PRIMARYTOPIC

[edit]

I did not have the time, due to RM issues elsewhere, to get back here with view stats before it was (IMO) prematurely closed, in a close where invalid/specious votes were given credence, which they should not have been.

Per the specious claims in the oppose votes that other items on this page, including things that aren't even named the same (Novy Bor, Hainan University), here are view stats for all titles on the page, ranked in order of hits:

  • This underscores the invalidity of In Ictu Oculi's "oppose" vote, which said "Oppose as Haida dab shows many meanings, including that Haida is the old German name for Nový Bor." (as if the name in German were relevant to English usage, never mind the stats), and also of either gullibility to specious/unfounded oppose votes or laziness or lack of intellectual depth on the part of the editor who decided to close this "not moved".
  • The PRIMARYTOPIC is clear, the original title of the people article was "Haida".....this bad-call RM result will be overturned, somehow, as others of this same kind. Don't point me at Move Review, that further procedure shouldn't be necessary and given the failure of this procedure to address the facts I don't see why trusting procedure any further is of any use at all (never mind how I get treated in such places).
  • No doubt this will be claimed to be an "outburst" but I'm getting tired of obstruction and the lack of real thought in "procedure" and the knee-jerk counter-votes like were made here (without any substance behind them). This should just be admin-moved; the stats are clear, as is the reality of the use of "Haida" by itself in English.Skookum1 (talk) 07:41, 12 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

In the popular podcast "TANIS" the Haida (and a ton of fictionalized information about them) are heavily featured. Not sure if this would be a good addition to this page or not. Tanis has a wiki page - http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Tanis_(podcast) and so is notable, but their depictions of the Haida although being highly plot relevant were completely historically inaccurate. Just wanted to mention it. Azotochtli (talk) 17:45, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
