Talk:Djibouti City

message: We currently have Djibouti City and Djibouti (city), which between them share information on the city and the region. These need to be combined into either one overall article or rescoped into one for the city itself and one for the surrounding region. The redirect at Djibouti, Djibouti also needs to be considered.

Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.
*Oppose.  It seems that the citations given to support the nomination are all French and not English as is needed per WP:UE.  The (few) sources for the article use simply  "Djibouti".  —  AjaxSmack  01:28, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Survey

message: This is an odd oversight: according to the map of the city, there are a couple of French military bases, one American, & one Japanese military base in the city around the International airport, & a related article mentions a Chinese naval base in the area -- yet not one word about any of these. While security concerns do make it difficult to find information about these, & would probably make it difficult to keep this info in the article, still I'd expect at least some mention of these facilities being in Djibouti & maybe the year they were established. It's not as if no one living there is unaware of their existence. -- llywrch (talk) 18:09, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Foreign presence in Djibouti 

message: In many cases on Wikipedia, an entity whose capital city is the same name as the entity itself results in the page for the capital city being labeled as 'Place'+'City'. 
Notable examples are Luxembourg City, whose official name is just Luxembourg, but the suffix of 'City' was tacked on to disambiguate, and Quebec City, whose name is officially just Quebec, but the article name has been changed do differentiate. 
The same should be done for this article per Wikipedia:TITLECON consistency.  BhamBoi (talk) 20:45, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Requested move 28 October 2022 

message: Is there any reliable source for the districts of Djibouti City? The few sources I find differ.
The ones on https://maps.mapaction.org/dataset/4f18eedf-7a8b-437b-b2d3-28971adebc0d (no license :-( specified) are not the same names as on this page and differ as well in shape to the map here. The one I bought from tourist office (not free of course) might not show the official organisational names, but it is different again. Simohe (talk) 21:13, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The German wiki (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dschibuti_(Stadt)#Stadtgliederung) mentions the city consists of 3 "communes" which consist of total 6 "arrondissement". The districts ("quartier") are mentioned as part of the "arrondissement". Unfortunately all the sources are defect weblinks. Simohe (talk) 18:12, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

message: The article states, "Djibouti has a population of around 600,000 inhabitants, which counts for 54% of the country's population." Which is it? -- Ríco 22:18, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: What is the contradiction? Would it be clearer with something like "Djibouti (city) has a population ..." or "The city has a population ..."? Or does the number not match the one mentioned on the country's page? Simohe (talk) 18:19, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
