Madina

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I was reading this talk page and found out that there is a suburb in Ghana named Madina. I know that Medina is also sometimes spelled Madina. However, when a user is searching for Madina, Ghana using the search term "Madina", he will be redirected to this page. Should we at least move Madina to a disambiguation page?
