Most of the text in this article seems to be about the Oromo in general, and is not specific to the Borana. I'm thinking that this should either be merged with Oromo, or move the more general text to Oromo, though the latter this would leave a pretty short article. (Another "merge to" target might be Gadaa; see Talk:Gadaa.) -- Gyrofrog (talk) 04:58, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

I have moved the text in question to Oromo. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 18:52, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
