Damot → Kingdom of Damot – There seems to be a precedence to name medieval Ethiopian kingdoms via the adjective - noun format. Also many kingdoms that existed during the same time period follow this naming format. Take for example the Zagwe dynasty. But my main reason for moving is for disambiguation purposes because the current title is confusing, There are many other locations called Damot which have nothing to do with its currently professed location at the Ethiopian rift. For example Damit Gale is much further west. Similarly there is a locality called "Damot" in the Wardhere zone in Ethiopia, much further east. There is also a sub-province with a similar name. As such, the term Damot is currently attributed to three ethnic groups as well as split between two sub-clans of one of those ethnic groups. TLDR; there are many places in Ethiopia called Damot. Furthmore, when looking at reliable sources such as An ethiopian journal, abc CLIO, Otto Harrassowitz etc. 79.67.81.203 (talk) 08:02, 8 August 2019 (UTC) --Relisted. – Ammarpad (talk) 07:04, 16 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Primary topic. We can use a disambiguation page and a hatnote to get people to other articles. Srnec (talk) 00:38, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

User:Socialwave597, why did you revert my edit stating the kingdom was Sidama? . Source dont state Sidamo it states Sidama see Aethiopica Magherbin (talk) 07:23, 6 March 2024 (UTC)


 * The word "Sidama" was used for all Omotic speaking ethnic groups in south western Ethiopia see The kingdom was not Sidama, but made up of Omotic speakers just like the related kingdoms of Ennerya, Kafa, Wolayta etc. It can be confusing at first but this shouldn't be surprising because remnants of Omotic speakers are still found around that region to this day. Whereas the traditional homeland of the Sidama people is a considerable distance away in Lake Awasa.  Socialwave597 (talk) 18:15, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
