Talk:Mohawk

Primary topic? re Mohawk (disambiguation)

Looking over what's on here, I really have to wonder why "Mohawk people" needs the "people" disambiguation, since everything else on there is named for them, and "Mohawk" in English still primarily refers to the people (unless someone wants to maintain its primary meaning is the haircut...or the gas station chain in Canada?).

This query being made because of needed changes to the title of Category:Mohawk tribe which IMO should just be Category:Mohawk. The reasons for that are too complicated to go into here, and it's not like Mohawk people can't be the basis for that hierarchy..... is there any argument out there that the PRIMARYTOPIC of "Mohawk" is not the people?Skookum1 (talk) 03:42, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This would be resolved through filing a request at WP:Requested moves, seeking to move the disambiguation page to Mohawk (disambiguation), in order to either redirect this title to Mohawk, or to move Mohawk people here. That said, I don't think that such a proposal would succeed. The Mohawk language is also called "Mohawk", and is a subject distinct from the people (we generally treat people/language splits this way, see Swedish, Lithuanian, Tongan, etc.), and there are probably a great many people who are unaware of the origin of the hairstyle, or of some of the other place names on the page. bd2412 T 04:17, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
