Talk:Douala

message: I would like to move this page. But before I do, I'd like to hear others' opinions on the topic and put it to a vote. What's at issue is the fact that "Duala" refers to four different things: the largest city in Cameroon, the Duala people, the language spoken by that people, and a group of related Bantu languages. Adding to the confusion is the fact that any of these may be written as either "Duala" or "Douala". So how do we sort this out?
A little background information: Most English-language sources tend to use "Duala" for the ethnic group and the languages; they reserve "Douala" for the city. French-language sources tend to use "Douala" for all of these.
Please vote for one of the options below. If you don't like any that are there, please add a new voting option.
===Make Duala a disambiguation page, and move the article about the city to Douala.===

A knowledgeable person needs to change the markup so that it displays as a video, and add a caption. The statue depicted is La Nouvelle Liberté.--Quisqualis (talk) 23:55, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
