This needs to be a disambiguation page. -- Zoe
Good pick-up, Zoe. But in this case we should clearly go with the primary meaning rule: words that descend from other words (i.e., that are named after them) go to a subsiduary title.
For example, the bomber aircraft called "Canberra" was named after the city, so the city entry is Canberra, while the aircraft becomes English Electric Canberra.
In this case, the primary meaning is the Ashanti people of Africa (at a wild guess there would be 20 or 40 million of them). A band that chooses to name itself after the people thus becomes Ashanti (singer) or something similar. It is offensive to take the position that 4 musicians (or 14 - whatever number) are more important than an entire nation with a proud history. Tannin 02:06 Apr 25, 2003 (UTC)
I agree. -- Zoe

Actually, Ashanti is only one person (just for the record) -- Kwekubo

What is the above doing on the article page? it makes me suspicious. - Xed 17:22, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
(I'm talking about the Ashanti page, not the Ashanti (singer) page. I can only access the singer talk page for some reason.. -- Xed 17:28, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Gay Icon Project
In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 20:01, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
