` October 2012 (UTC)  ::::::In the recent discussion on renaming the main page Côte d'Ivoire, a few people did suggest calling it ``the Ivory Coast``, but the majority view and decision was to move it to ``Ivory Coast``. The main point being discussed was of course whether to use the French or English words, and it's probably fair to say that most people missed or ignored the point on whether to include ``the``. Nevertheless, it's clear that ``The Ivory Coast`` is not predominant usage, otherwise they would have picked that name.  ::::::It's worth noting that there is a more similar case than the island nations mentioned above: The Gambia. There have been discussions on renaming that to Gambia, but none are either recent or decisively argued. –   16:12, 29`
