I think the title Dagbon kingdom deserves its own article, an this article should concern as it is sections like the abridged history of dagbon among others.Dagbon people as I see it should relate to the people themselves, their culture and day-to-day ways of life. Compare Ashanti Empire and Ashanti people.
I intend moving most of this article to a new page 'Dagbon Kingdom' if I don't get any suggestions. Masssly ( talk) 18:04, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi Enock4Seth. what I'm suggesting is to commit a Dagbon kingdom page to a more detailed history of Dagbon by moving the Abridged history section there and expanding it. In so doing the Dagomba people page would be made available to contain the festivals, language, geography and basic way of life of the people and of course a summarized version of the abridged History of Dagbon.

Omo Obatalá:The contents of this section is a duplication of the main article
Notable Dagombas, maybe that section isn't needed in
Dagomba people after all?

I recently added a quotation needed tag to this statement because of the lack of verification from these sources. Ihikky, you referred to Dagbon as a country in the lead but none of the sources define Dagbon as such. Referencing a Wikipedia article as justification for using the word country goes against WP:CIRC. As editors, we can interpret sources in our own words, but we must stick in line with what the sources state. The word country is very vague especially when the sources used do not provide verification. In addition, we generally stick to the most common terms by sources for the subject topic per WP:Common Name. If you still believe the word country should be used in the lead as a definition of Dagbon irrespective of the sources used, then the body of the article must provide verification per MOS:LEAD. The statehood as Dagbon as a country is not well defined in the body of this article. I have added a quotation needed tag to the sources, so please provide a quotation of what you interpreted as Dagbon country in these sources. Kwesi Yema ( talk) 13:08, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
@ Acroterion, I have simply pointed out areas in the lead section that could not be verified in the body. I first changed the word country in the lead section as a definition of the Kingdom of Dabon because of how ambiguous the word is. This includes the fact that this lead section was unsourced. Per WP:LEADFOLLOWSBODY, I used the word chieftaincy instead of country because the of the Chieftaincy section in the body of the article as well as this sub section. Ihikkhy changed the word chieftaincy to "country" where he added sources that could not be verified when I read through. Per MOS:LEAD, the word country can be used irrespective of a source only if the body of the article provides a definition as such. However, this article does not do so. On top of that, WP:Common Name states that we use the most common terms of the subject matter as used by sources. Ihikkhy [ argues] that the word country should still be used because of the definition of the word on its Wikipedia page. But WP:CIRC says we should not cite Wikipedia. I added a quotation needed tag to the sources used for this statement to improve verification. I provided an explanation on the talk page in addition. Ihikkhy addressed this on my talk page, and I explained that he should add a quotation from the sources to justify the use of "country" in that statement since it cannot be verified both in sources and in the body. Unfortunately, he has taken this in bad faith. Acroterion, ever since your warning on reverts on another article, I have complied. I do not understand the call for sanctions when I have pointed out verification problems in the article. Kwesi Yema ( talk) 22:55, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
