In the official website of CAF, this competition is called African women Championship. What would we do? Should the title of this article be changed? or can we leave it as it is? -- Ohtani tanya ( talk) 11:51, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
The result of the move request was no move. Consensus does not support a page move at this time. PeterSymonds ( talk) 09:53, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
CAF Women's Championship → African Women Championship — In the official website of CAF, this competition is called "African Women Championship"; it seems that the name "CAF women's championship" is inappropriate. -- Ohtani tanya ( talk) 06:25, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
First, as for the competitions administered by AFC, CONCACAF, OFC and UEFA, the names of confederations are surely included. However, as for the competitions administered by CAF and CONMEBOL, the names of confederations aren't always included: please look Africa Cup of Nations, African Championship of Nations, African Cup Winners' Cup and so on; Copa América, Sudamericano Femenino and so on.
Second, the search results of "African Women's Championship" with google are about 9,580,000 hits, while those of "CAF Women's Championship" are about 103,000 (moreover, quite a few results come from the data of Wikipedia). The current title could be the result of article-creater's WP:NOR.
New candidate: in some websites, the name CAF African Women's Championship is used. I think this name is good, because it does not require "( )." -- Ohtani tanya ( talk) 10:41, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

– CAF has changed the name since after the 2014 edition. They want it to be exactly the same as the men's event (Africa Cup of Nations), except that it should be preceded by "Women" and they now promote it with WAFCON, not AWCON as before. While I can't deny that the previous wording sound better for English readers, we should stick to official names, especially when is it about 6 years old. HandsomeBoy ( talk) 09:19, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Seems like caf and fifa etc credit Nigeria with 9 titles so far. See https://www.fifa.com/tournaments/womens/womensworldcup/france2019/news/nigeria-hold-their-nerve-caf-womens-africa-cup-of-nations or https://www.cafonline.com/totalenergies-womens-africa-cup-of-nations/news/a-to-z-of-women-s-afcon-2022 Also https://www.cafonline.com/competitions/caf-competitions/ cites: The Women’s Africa Cup of Nations was established by CAF in 1998. So I think the 1991 and 1995 editions can be mentioned here and in the table. But the situation needs mentioning in the history section and then adjusting the stats should be done. Any thoughts? - Koppapa ( talk) 16:55, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
