Requested move 5 April 2015[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: To be moved. Note: move requires admin assistance, which I will request. (non-admin closure) — Amakuru (talk) 15:48, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yorùbáland → Yorubaland – per WP:Use English. Yoruba (and consequently Yorubaland) is written without diacritics in English, and throughout most of the English Wikipedia—including this very article~~—with Yoruba religion as a notable exception (and unclear local consensus)~~.

(I considered doing this as a technical request, but figured this is an opportunity for the community to discuss whether Yorùbá should be standard. I say no diacritics on that.) 174.141.182.82 (talk) 09:08, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support. "Yoruba" with no diacritics is standard in English. See here and here. The initializer (talk) 10:31, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support unless strong English sourcing can be found against it. Red Slash 19:57, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support and for other instances too. No significant usage in academic material either.—Brigade Piron (talk) 08:52, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
