Kilwa → Kilwa (disambiguation) – The dominant use of the term "Kilwa" is to refer to "Kilwa Kisiwani", the famous Medieval island city, capital of a city-state and commercial empire that dominated the length of the East African coast for centuries (now a world heritage site). Most sources (esp. historical) call it simply "Kilwa", very few sources use the full modern term "Kilwa Kiwisani". The other disambguated terms are either derivative/connected to Kilwa Kisiwani (e.g. Kilwa Sultanate, the state which had its capital at Kilwa, or modern Kilwa district) or are modern places of relatively low importance. So propose to rename current "Kilwa" to "Kilwa (disambiguation)" and redirect "Kilwa" to "Kilwa Kisiwani" (with a link to the disambiguation page at the top).
