I agree with all three split suggestions, assuming that you're planning to expand them to enough length to justify their stand-alone status. I think a 2-3 sentence summary should remain here in the overview article, however. Speaking more broadly, it'd be nice if this article was someday rewritten to include a continent-wide view of the issue rather than only a nation-by-nation. I don't have anywhere near the knowledge to do this for now, though. Thanks for your work on this!

I have removed the split tags since the split has not been carried out and the sections are not viable articles as they stand. If some one were to create the articles using new material then that would be a different matter.

I would advise developing the Morocco section here until it's 3-4 times its current length (say 350-500 words at a minimum), and only splitting it out then.

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
Dwanyewest, it's good to discuss it here. Hopefully we will get some other opinions. (But you might have a look at
wp:string... there's no call to go an extra level of indenting, it just means we run out of space twice as fast. Best not to fix it now IMO, see
WP:REDACT. Yes, there are a lot of guidelines, but hopefully most of them are commonsense.)

Please note that the two move discussions are now closed as not moved, with a recommendation that any further moves, splits or merges be discussed here first.

Ebonelm,
AngusWOOF, you supported one or both of the moves, any further comments? (Love the sig, Angus!)
Yes, you've made a real mess of this which we do need to clean up.
They can't be simply deleted because they have significant
edit history which we need to preserve. Yes, I know you don't understand this, obviously. I'm sorry if that's blunt.
My suggestion is still that we merge those new articles that you have created into this article, and then have a discussion here about reversing the previous merges.

It appears to me that
Andrewa's suggestion is the only only one left on the table. As far as I can tell there is comparatively little support for the status quo as it deviates from a WP naming convention. This seems to be
Dwanyewest's motivation for originally proposing the moves from "Sex trade in..." to "Prositution in...", but his proposals could not gain consensus. The subsequent idea of deleting the two "Sex trade in..." articles and reposting them under "Prostitution in..." titles does run contrary to the rules on edit history, and it also replicates the unsuccessful move proposals by a different route. Thus we are left with Andrewa's suggestion. Of course, this does not mean that there is no support for the existence of these as stand-alone articles, and once the articles have been merged into this page there is potential for discussing splitting them out again, as Andrewa has mentioned
elsewhere. I propose that we execute Andrewa's suggestion as a way of getting out of the current impasse.

Re-organization
I have extensively redone this page, taking into account above comments. It is now more systematic, and has been linked to all the related pages that were out there, and to the template.
I agree most of the offshoot pages are basically stubs. I favour leaving them there to encourage them to be developed further.
The template leads in many cases not to a prostitution page but to human trafficking, most of which are problem pages in their own right. This represents a problem which will need to be addressed --
