Talk:Chitlin' Circuit

message: The Chitlin' Circuit is also used to describe blues and soul/blues artists who play mostly at small clubs in African-American neighborhoods. The term is still being used today.
Borscht Belt is not related.... no reason to include a link to it
Anyone care to tell me how the expression "chitlin' circuit" and the term Borsht Belt could possibly have anything to do with each other from an etymological standpoint, as the article author suggests? Could someone provide a bona-fide, scholarly-researched explanation as to the connection between the  two phrases where one was somehow an expansion on the other? If not, please remove the line making this assumption, or better phrase the sentence so as to not make broad, presumptuous boasting about things that are not real. 99.32.160.175 (talk) 05:10, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Borscht belt is another ethnic performance circuit. There is no other in the U.S. as important as it and Chitlin' Circuit. But who is imitating whom? The Chitlin' Circuit antedates the Borscht Belt. But when did it start to be _called_ Chitlin' Circuit?  deisenbe (talk) 15:20, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

message: I've always heard that while the bulk of the circuit was in the south, it was really everywhere. For instance, the Regal Theater in Chicago is often described as part of the circuit.

thread_title:  Chitlin Circuit only South and East? 

message: I have reread WP Style on capitalization and I still think that it should be capitalized. See:
* Borscht Belt
* Bible Belt
* Bible Belt (disambiguation)
* Corn Belt
* Cotton Belt
* Black Belt
* Numerous other examples at List of belt regions of the United States.
Note the following examples of usage (these came up first after Wikipedia in a search on DuckDuckGo):
* "Learn about the Chitlin' Circuit and Southern Soul music at SouthernSoulRnB.com." http://www.southernsoulrnb.com/what_is_chitlin_circuit.cfm
* "Pittsburgh was one of those towns on the Chitlin' Circut". http://www.soul-patrol.com/soul/chitlin.htm
* "The Royal Peacock in Atlanta was one of the more famous venues on the Chitlin' Circuit." http://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2014/02/16/275313723/the-origin-and-hot-stank-of-the-chitlin-circuit
* "DEPT. OF DISPUTATION about the Chitlin Circuit, a black theatre circuit" http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1997/02/03/the-chitlin-circuit  (The New Yorker is one of the magazines which is most careful about details such as this.)

replies: text:  Keith Shadwick, the author of the source used in the Jimi Hendrix article, uses "chitlin' circuit". However, I'll go along with the consensus, so change as you see fit. —Ojorojo (talk) 14:34, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: While the Ngram shows that sources are trending towards making this a proper name, the sources are still rather mixed, which is why I changed the  redirect tag to . We should only use  on redirects where sources overwhelmingly favor one single form of capitalization. It's reasonable, in my opinion, to use the form used by the cited source. The move to the proper name was boldly done after the above RM discussion didn't find a consensus for that. – wbm1058 (talk) 14:50, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
