The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
As this was a French colony, French will be the lingua franca, so that the French name will be the official one. The question is whether the name should be translated into English. I suspect the common English name is (and always has been) Ivory Coast.

Your proposed name was the same as the current one, but it sounds like you wanted a move to Ivory Coast, so I've changed it accordingly. Trout me if I'm wrong. --

Support. It wasn't until the death throes of the
Houphouët-Boigny regime in the mid 1980s that the attempt to impose the (pseudo-)French name on English speakers was first proclaimed. So, for a majority of the period in question, the state was only referred to as "Ivory Coast" in English. (And the French name hasn't exactly been a hit since.) Therefore, the
GdaĆsk vote doesn't really apply here. â

I'm carrying out a procedural close, as the article was moved by
àŒ. This borders on disruptive behavior, but with no stated opposition to the move, this seems more reasonable than calling an admin in to reverse it until discussion closes on Friday. --

Wow, wow, wow. You guys won't believe this that I had NOT looked at this page BEFORE I renamed the article. Since the result of the RM on the talk page of
Ivory Coast was to moved, so I checked every other articles that still used "CĂŽte d'Ivoire" and moved to "Ivory Coast". I didn't expect that there was a separated RM for this article. àŒ (

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
Oppose - The notion that the main student organization in the country, with plenty of academic sources available as references, the sole legal student organization in country for over 30 years and effectively the school of the political elite would not be sufficiently notable for a stand-alone article is a clear-cut case of systematic bias. --

"Distribution by the latter's members [i.e. USEECI] of a tract couched in terms hardly favorable to the Government and MEECI , led the Ivory Coast authorities to forbid a meeting of the USEECI Provisional Central Committee in the last week of March. A â protest meeting â , followed by a well - suported strike , took place at the University ; the Government's response was to decide to close the University ."[2]
Barring that first source, the majority of those seem to be single-line or very short references to the USEECI in the context of the 1970s era student movement in Ivory Coast, especially in the context of it being in conflict with the regime-friendly MEECI. I'm not saying they're unreliable, but they're not enough SIGCOV to justify a separate article. It makes no sense to have separate articles about the two organizations when the entire student movement could be covered in a single article that provides context to both. â

I'd say the refs provided above give good indication of notability of USEECI. SIGCOV cannot be applied in mechanical way (here considering that the organization peaked in early 1970s, pre www), there is clearly affirmation of notability to warrant separate article. --
