I just read through the discussion and its interesting for me so far. Many support the idea of changing to San people.

Well, I think it doesn't _really_ matter whether its 'San people' or 'bushmen'. Though the name 'bushman' might sound completely inappropriate ( or even perhaps insulting), I think content on the page is what really needs to be improved.

Personally, I've never known them to be San people (until today) and I'm sure many people ( perhaps over 70% of the world ) know such people as bushmen.

Currently, the article 'San people' redirects to 'Bushmen' which I see it to be same. (Changing the title will just make the redirection inverse)

If the word 'bushmen' its inappropriate, then I guess it shouldn't be mentioned even in the article, even if the title is changed to 'San people'

Hi, this is my first mailing to this list so I hope it's appropriate.

I have proposed a move from the "Bushmen" Wikipedia article title to "San people". If you have not already done so, please participate in the move discussion so we can reach a consensus.

The last discussion took place almost two years ago with little participation despite numerous complaints posted on the article talk page. I spent some time researching the facts and improving the nomenclature section of the article so that people could make a more informed decision.
