The result of the move request was: moved. There is a consensus in this discussion that the bold move to " Zamfara" should be reverted to restore the status quo. Furthermore, the sources provided by participants in this RM make it clear that the most common way to refer to this entity is as " Zamfara State". The editor who carried out the bold move has not provided any sources to back up his or her actions, and nor has the only other opposer. Given this situation, it makes sense to restore the status quo, as above, and per WP:TITLECHANGES. If editors believe that they can provide a source-backed case for a move to Zamfara, I encourage them to open a new RM. ( non-admin closure) RGloucester — ☎ 04:22, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Zamfara State – This page was moved without discussion by
user:Jamie Tubers on 25 September 2015 from the normal name, "
Zamfara State". In Nigeria, state names are almost invariably given as "XYZ State". Other than newspaper headlines, the word "Zamfara" alone is rarely used to refer to the state. A search for zamfara in Google News gives the following article text fragments on the first page of results:
A search for zamfara in Google Books gives the following on the first page:
The bold move of the article on this major topic should be undone, followed by a formal move request if appropriate. However, it is clear from the above searches that the state name is almost always given in the form "Zamfara State", as is the case with all other Nigerian states. This may be because the states are recent creations, named after existing terms associated with the area. Zamfara is named after an old independent state, as are Bornu, Kano, Sokoto etc., while others like Delta, Plateau or Cross River are named after geographical features. Whatever the reason, "XYZ State" is the way state names are almost always written in Nigeria. Aymatth2 ( talk) 15:21, 11 May 2016 (UTC) --Relisted. Steel1943 ( talk) 22:43, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

History Of Zamfara State Emirates
German: Adamaua: French: Adamaoua) is a traditional state located in Fombina, an area which now roughly corresponds to arcas of Adamawa State and Taraba state in Nigeria. and previously also in the three northern provinces of Cameroon (Far North. North, and Adamawa), including minor Parts of Western Chad and the Central African Republic. It was founded by Modibo Adama, a commander of Sheikh Usman dan Fodio, the man who began the Fulani jihad in 1809. The capital was moved several times until it settled in Yola, Nigeria on the banks of the Benue River in Nigeria around 1841. At the time of Adama's dealh his realm encompassed parts of modern Nigeria and much of north Cameroon. It was technically part of the Fulani Empire, and it had to pay a tribute to the leaders in Sokoto And the Supreme Emir Is Sarkin Zamfara Anka.

these figures of "a population of 9,278,873 according to the 2006 census" are at odds with the other sources giving the 2006 census population as 3,278,873. a discrepancy of 6 million. Similarly the "Estimate (2011) 9,838,160" and 9,278,873[1] for 2021 census. What census in 2021?
