[edit] Cleanup
This is a fairly sensitive, but I would say quite real phenomenon, and deserving of an article. However, the page is really just a list of examples, and needs wikification, quite apart from a rewrite. -Kieran 21:20, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Major rewrite?
As far as I understand, "Africanization" is a bigger topic than just name changes. For instance Africanization of the civil services of newly independent African countries. As far as the name change issue goes, one could mention that in many cases place names were given European names under colonial rule, which is important context to understanding changes (or return) to African names. Altogether it seems this article needs a lot of work. --A12n 07:37, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
