[edit] Move to Urbanite

Most pages on Wikipedia are in the singular form (e.g. Yuppie, not Yuppies, and Chav, not Chavs). I suggest that we move Urbanites to Urbanite. I would have just been bold and done this myself, but since Urbanite has a history, I can't move it. What do you think, any comments? Thanks, delldot | talk 05:12, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Citations

Why is this article so Anglocentric? We use the term in Canada for basically the same purpose. Unregistered User Kie, 19 February 2007.

This is probably one of the few popular cases where the term has been defined rigorously. For example, Google Scholar shows almost all academic use of the term is in French [1]. Unfortunately, because all the research is private, no citations exist - presumably the research was summarized in some issue of the Metro itself but an archive search doesn't turn anything up?
