Romance-speaking Africa

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Terms like 'Francophone Africa' or 'Lusophone Africa' are widely used by many reliable sources, but the entire concept behind "Latin Africa" seems to be original research. "Romance-speaking Africa" returns exactly 49 results on Google, mostly from wikipedia mirrors, and Latin Africa is only ever used to mean the ancient Roman-ruled north Africa. The use of the term to refer to contemporary African countries where a Romance language is official seems to be a creation of this article. eh bien mon prince (talk) 21:57, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep, but possibly rename. The concept of 'Latin Africa' may not be anywhere near as widely established as that of Latin America, but given the fact that a United States of Latin Africa was apparently at one time seriously proposed, it does seem to be an idea deserving of an article.

 * If the only usage refers to one historical proposal, it might be better to simply redirect the article to United States of Latin Africa.--eh bien mon prince (talk) 02:10, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete, it is a neologism, or maybe redirect, to United States of Latin Africa Spumuq (talq) 14:02, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
