The districts ("quartier") are mentioned as part of the "arrondissement". Unfortunately all the sources are defect weblinks.

	[[:Djibouti (city)]] → {{no redirect\|Djibouti City}} – This has been proposed before, with not much discussion previously. From what I can tell, it is common for the city to be called either "Djibouti" or "Djibouti City" in English. (We currently use "(city)" to disambiguate the article name from the country, which shares the same name and is at [[Djibouti]].) It is difficult to conduct searches to determine ''which'' is more common, since the majority of the hits that result from "Djibouti" alone are going to be for the country.

(We currently use "(city)" to disambiguate the article name from the country, which shares the same name and is at [[Djibouti]].) It is difficult to conduct searches to determine ''which'' is more common, since the majority of the hits that result from "Djibouti" alone are going to be for the country. But I get 330,000+ for a Wikipedia-less search of [//www.google.com/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=IOftV4mRFqvr8Aer_YDABA&gws_rd=cr&fg=1#safe=strict&q=%22Djibouti+City%22+-wikipedia "Djibouti City"], with around 3000 in google books, 800 in google news, and 300 in google scholar – so the proposed form is not uncommon. I think using "Djibouti City" would be a more natural form and in line with articles in similar situations, such as [[Luxembourg City]].

	**I would prefer the current parenthetical version over [[Djibouti city]]. The uncapitalized version is basically the same form of adding a non-proper noun disambiguation word in parentheses, and the usual way on WP of doing that seems to me to be adding a word in parentheses, not just tacking on an extra common noun word without parentheses.
