Reliable sources in France do not use these North American-style neologisms, which is why none of the other articles about immigrant groups in France (e.g. Mauritians in France, Malagasy people in France) use this xxx-French title format. (For that matter, nor do the vast majority of articles about these ethnic groups in other countries, like Cape Verdeans in Senegal, Romanians in Italy, Italians in Germany.) If you Google these existing titles you just get a bunch of cases where the two country names randomly appear next to each other for some reason unrelated to migration (e.g. "Romanian-French dictionary") or where it's talking about dual citizens who might be living in either country; the real test is when you try to use these titles as adjectives (e.g. "Togolese French students", "Italian French migrants") you get zero results. Also these titles are confusing because they might refer to, e.g. French people living in Italy instead (like British Pakistanis, Burmese Indians, etc.). 61.18.190.206 (talk) 05:31, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. These titles are highly ambiguous. Until I completely read the nomination, I sincerely thought the article was to be about the French language as spoken in Togo (first), then French people in Togo. —  AjaxSmack  21:44, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
