Is this mess really notable? You folks are the experts. Please either source it, or go to WP:AfD. Bearian (talk) 04:50, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Why does every article about any historical ethnic group seem to use the word "ethnonym" instead of name in places where the name is functioning solely as an ethnonym. Examples include

• Luwian language "The ethnonym Luwian comes from Luwiya" (entirely redundant)
• Basque_language#Names_of_the_language "Greek term Οὐάσκωνες (ouáskōnes), an ethnonym used by Strabo" (ok, that one could make sense)
• And I'm sure plenty more.

It feels pointlessly pedantic, and if not for the hyperlink would also be needlessly obtuse.

Just a driveby post, but I thought I'd bring it to your attention since the article Ethnonym is marked as high importance to this project. Besides, the name of the project kind of says it all. Arlen22 (talk) 02:34, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

:For foreign languages it is not at all redundant. How an average Randy from Boyse wold know that Luwian does not come from Luwi or Luwiyyeh, or else? --Altenmann >talk 07:07, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
