[edit] Reverse the Redirect?

I propose that, rather than "Commonwealth Caribbean" redirecting to "Anglophone Caribbean", "Anglophone Caribbean" should redirect to "Commonwealth Caribbean". I say this because I find that Commonwealth Caribbean is far more common thatn Anglophone Caribbean. In fact, I've never heard the term on the TV or Radio (West Indian or not), and I've only just discovered from an Amazon search that it is used in some books. Does anyone have any reason for why Anglophone Caribbean should be given preference to Commonwealth Caribbean? ~ Hairouna 20:38, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

None whatsoever. I'm not sure about elsewhere, but I've never heard anyone in Dominica use the term "Anglophone Caribbean" --Steve Foerster 22:01, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
"Anglophone Caribbean" is a UN and other various high level NGO terminology. Various independent Caribbean states refer to themselves as that at the UN and in other fora instead of "Commonwealth Caribbean". CaribDigita 23:49, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
