Yeah, why not? The only issue right now is that
there is not enough extent
Wikipedia text about the term "Eskimo" to move
from [[Inuit]] to [[Eskimo]].
When that changes then [[Eskimo]] can be changed
from a redirect to an
article. This will require, however, some degree
of future maintenance to
make sure references in other articles meaning to
link to an article about
the people are changed accordingly.
I disagree. In general, if we want to remain the idea that Wikipedia is not a dictionary, we should be having articles about 'subjects' rather than 'words', in my opinion.

[[Eskimo]] would be about the /use/ of the word and the controversy surrounding its use (not really about the word itself). Similar to our article [[fuck]].
