Shippis, Shipis?

[edit]

Someone (IP: 202.91.85.197) keeps adding unreferenced information about a group called Shippis or Shipis. I cannot find any information anywhere else about them. For this reason I am removing all references to them from this article. If, however, this seems unjustified perhaps they could start a new article on the Shippis (with some references, please!) and make links to and from the article on Gaddis? Let's keep this page focussed on its title subject - Gaddis. John Hill (talk) 15:20, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

– I don't see a primary topic between this ethnic group, the other ethnic group with the same name, their language, and the other (themselves probably more obscure) topics listed on the dab page. I don't have an opinion on whether Gaddis is better than Gaddi people: there was an objection to the first term in a 2009 move, but the form appears to be common, and it's used by the article's sources as well as by the article itself. – Uanfala (talk) 18:14, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ok, thanks for the link. Zindor (talk) 17:56, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It should be a good idea to create the disambiguation page for this. People generally searching for Gaddi would require information for both, the people and their language. To avoid missing either of them, this should help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nik9hil (talkcontribs) 06:14, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Usernamekiran: the s of Gaddis is a plural marker (as in Germans), not part of the name. So you can have sentences like "The Gaddis are a tribe", but not ones like "The Gaddis people" (where a singular is needed). – Uanfala (talk) 19:20, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Uanfala: too late. But the module can do that, I will shortly post at BRFA, kindly see my upcoming comment there. —usernamekiran (talk) 19:24, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
