Black Belgians → Afro-Belgians – More in line with all the other articles and the established naming convention, also the article is solely about African Belgians (as opposed to Black Belgians from the Americas for example) Abcmaxx (talk) 22:01, 26 November 2020 (UTC) —Relisting.

 * Comment. Is there evidence that this is the common name? Different countries use different terms. I remember an attempt in the distant past, for example, by American editors to mandate the term "African British" for the same reason you cite ("all the other articles and the established naming convention"). It had to be pointed out by British editors that Black British is actually the common term and just because "African American" is the common term in the US does not make the same construction standard or politically correct elsewhere. I'm not saying you're wrong that this is the common term in Belgium. I'd merely like to see some evidence. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:24, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment Is there any reason to belive the term 'Afro-Belgians' is at all used? blindlynx (talk) 17:49, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
