I noticed that this article has a misleading article title and is a duplicate of another title "Akan names". The various ethnic groups in Ghana have a completely different system so the Akan system cannot possibly speak for all. The title should have been "Akan names" but since another article with the same title exist I suggest a merge the two articles or deletion of this one.

I completed the nomination. The material is essentially identical as
Akan names, with this article having an extra unsourced section on "personality types" for the different names, so I don't think a merge would be useful; also not sure about a redirect given that there are other groups/languages in Ghana (as far as I can tell), but I do support getting rid of this somehow. 6an6sh6 23:42, 4 March 2014 (UTC)reply
Comment Hi, If so why not we restructure this article as the name implies: Ghanaian names to cover all the naming based in Ghana as stated by
Masssly rather than deleting. Also you can notice clearly at the bottom this article it shares a common template {{Names in world cultures}}. Which includes Akan names as well. The best thing to do in my view here is to keep the title and make the article represent what it should as in Ghanaian names; there by representing all the ethnic groups even if they have individual articles.

Uh,
Zimbabwean names doesn't have a single source, so I'm going to tag it as such... Anyways, I guess an expansion in scope would work here as well. But what should we do with the current content? Because
Akan names of course would still exist. 6an6sh6 20:02, 5 March 2014 (UTC)reply

Until someone adds info on other peoples/languages, redirect to
Akan names, tag as {{R with possibilities}}. Some details could be also be merged there. –
