History of the Polish Americans in Metro Detroit → History of Polish Americans in Metro Detroit – By WP:DEFINITE and WP:CONCISE, the use of "the" should be dropped from this title because it simply is not necessary to convey the topic of the article. Additionally, the use of the definite article in this case is clunky and should not be in use per WP:NATURALNESS. For now, we can disregard the "political correctness" argument that using the definite article to refer to ethnic groups in certain cases is "othering" and a social wrong. While I personally think this argument is compelling, the true test of whether referring to "Polish Americans" with "the" is acceptable can simply be conducted by looking at the wider media: In 2019, news articles mentioning "the Polish Americans" were a very small fraction (1.8%) of articles mentioning "Polish Americans". By WP:COMMONNAME, the title of the article should be changed to reflect this usage by the media. Mysterymanblue ( talk) 23:38, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
The title of this article is potentially impacted by the outcome of this Request for comment re: entries about ethnic groups in the United States. Page watchers are invited to participate in the ongoing discussion. Thanks! -- Another Believer ( Talk) 20:46, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
