Apologies for my typo in the n-grams check Jim. 
I think Robin's suggestion works well because it retains the ateji information but makes it clear that アジア is the most common form, and as he said, this would be in line with other similar 
entries.

Marcus commented in a fork: "Usually we keep them in the main entries. (them = rare/old ateji forms)"
-----
I don't think we need あじあ. アジア is the surface form in all the refs. We don't have hirgana forms on アメリカ, イギリス, etc.

Daijr, wisdom

https://ja.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/アジア
  Comments:
Daijr has the headword as アジア, with a note at the very end of the entry saying 亜細亜とも書く.
There’s no entry for 亜細亜 in wisdom.
The JP wiki page for アジア makes no mention of 亜細亜. 
Should we make アジア the primary headword/reading here? If not, maybe we could do so in a separate entry?

I think the "adj-no" should stay.
