Requested move 5 April 2015

The request to rename this article to Yorubaland has been carried out.

If the page title has consensus, be sure to close this discussion using {{subst:RM top|'''page moved'''.}} and {{subst:RM bottom}} and remove the {{Requested move/dated|…}} tag, or replace it with the {{subst:Requested move/end|…}} tag.

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]
