Religion in Chad

@Groznia My bad, the survey isn't even 8 years old and from 2015 but rather 26 years old being from the period 1996-1997, according to the title in the citation. That is decades old, and thus heavily outdated. A projection from a reliable source would be more relevant and accurate in that case.

If you still believe a comprehensive source would be better, I recommend using the latest 2009 census data, which is also used for the ethnicity section of the country infobox. Unionsa1 (talk) 05:29, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, my bad too. I didn't realize the cited source was based on 1996-97 estimate, though as far as I remember those estimates as valid and are based on 2015 DHS community survey. That citation must have been lost during the subsequent edits and needs some digging up to be found. Regarding the use of 2009 census data, I am not sure about that since it's too old and a lot could change during that time period. However, as a middle ground I recommend using 2020 Pew estimate.[1] Groznia (talk) 06:50, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

No worries, any reliable 2020 estimate (including the one by the Pew Research Center) would work. I believe Chad will be releasing the results of its 2021 census data relatively soon, and that can be used to eventually replace the projections in the country infobox.

There is a picture legend on the English page saying "Criquets grillés ou frits" in French. As a French Canadian, I know in English it should be written "Fried or Grilled Grasshoppers" instead. Gabmeg24 (talk) 22:15, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

• Chad → Chad (country)
• Chad (disambiguation) → Chad
• Jordan → Jordan (country)
• Jordan (disambiguation) → Jordan

– These titles could refer to country or the name such as Chad (name) and Jordan (name). There doesn't appear to be a primary topic here. Interstellarity (talk) 00:49, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose I would say any current country's common English name trumps any other use barring very unusual circumstances (Georgia and Macedonia being two cases and English speakers outside the US might disagree on the first and think Georgia (country) should be Georgia). In these particular cases the first thing that comes to mind with Chad or Jordan are the respective countries. I can't think of anything that comes close with Chad the country and with Jordan only the Jordan River. Erp (talk) 02:47, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose: Thoroughly disagree. The names of these countries are overwhelming primary topics for their names, and there are huge consistency arguments to also consider here. WP:AINTBROKE. Iskandar323 (talk) 06:50, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
• Weak support I agree there isn't a clear primary topic. Crouch, Swale (talk) 07:09, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose: Chad and Jordan are by far most commonly used for the country. ¹⁴¹Pr {contribs} 07:25, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose. While I agree that the country isn't the first thing I think of when I hear the word "Chad", I think someone typing "Chad" into the Wikipedia search box is most likely to be looking for the country. I haven't bothered to look up the page view stats, but if a different article with the same title gets a similar number of views to the country article, then I'm open to changing my mind.

• Oppose Not common names for people Chidgk1 (talk) 08:19, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
• Strong oppose. Chad and Jeremy are the music group. And hanging chad has to do with paper bits; and anything else is the country, which is primary. (edit conflict) Mathglot (talk) 08:23, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

  Although a symptom of WP:RECENTISM with a downward trend, there is also Chad (slang). There's currently only a 3:1 pageview ratio between the country and the slang term (114,00 monthly versus 35,000 monthly). —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 17:44, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

• Strong oppose. Makeandtoss (talk) 08:30, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose clearly the countries are the primary topics—blindlynx 14:02, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose moves. The countries are the primary topics. (Same goes for Turkey.) O.N.R. ^(talk) 19:23, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Strong oppose and SNOWCLOSE - The countries are undoubtedly primary by long-term significance, at the very least. The hatnotes should resolve confusion. estar8806 (talk) ★ 20:30, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
