There are (or may may be) many Yaa Naas with the same name, but there can be only one Yaa Naa Bukali II. Also, Yaa Naa Bukali II already has may redirects to it, and is well established on Wikidata as well. -Masssly (talk) 20:30, 2 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
Hello @Masssly, thank you for starting this new article on the new Overlord of Dagbon, Yaa Naa Abubakari Mahama II. Please note that no where in the news is it stated that the new Overlord of Dagbon is called "Bukali II." The new Overlord may be known by some people as'Bukali II' but that's not his official name and as such I suggest this page should rather be redirected to point to the wikipedia page with his official name, Yaa_Naa_Abubakari_Mahama.Better still, you can collapse this new article which is not the correct name of the new Overlord and build on old article which is his correct identity.
Thank you

You make a good point, but Wikipedia has clear naming conventions that allows for easy identification of people. It is Yakubu II, not Yaa Naa Yakubu Andani II. It is Elizabeth II, not Queen Elizabeth Alexandra Mary II, it is John Dramani Mahama not President John Dramani Mahama, etc. Please take your time to abreast yourself with these subtleties. A redirect to a page you created isn't to downplay the work you put into starting that article. We're all here to build an Encyclopedia, together.
