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

"Prior to today, a portion of this was known as Yoruba country"; so, you mean, until yesterday? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.200.7.72 (talk) 18:06, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
