The result of the debate was rename

We typically use the simple direction in combination with the regions of Africa and Asia in the names of stub categories, Southern Africa exempted for obvious reasons. I don't care which is used as long as we're consistent, but switching the relevant categories to use the -ern forms will require renaming more cats. Caerwine Caer’s whines 23:46, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Given that the appropriate article is at West Africa, I'd go for that one. Grutness...wha?  05:23, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I'd favour going with the UN geoscheme sub-regions, for definitional clarity. i.e.:
 * Northern Africa
 * Western Africa
 * Middle Africa
 * Eastern Africa
 * Southern Africa
 * We started discussing switching over to such a scheme a while ago, but seemed to run out of steam. Alai 03:33, 3 April 2007 (UTC)


 * It was never implemented properly. We have very little material about North Africa, so I'm not sure if this region is even above 60 at all and Southern Africa is already in use for the material relating to the RSA. But yes, we should switch to the current UN regions, for both this material and the -geo stubs. The -geos shouldn't pose much of a problem since we now have -geo templates for almost all African nations. Valentinian T / C 09:18, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
