Non-notable area, no significant coverage - defined only for census purposes, and WP:GEOLAND states such areas are not presumed to be notable. --Pontificalibus 17:47, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Similar articles exist for areas in the United States; at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Baton Rouge–Pierre Part combined statistical area the only argument for deletion is that it is no longer in use as a statistical area and other editors who participated opposed deletion. Many other articles exist for American statistical areas and some in the UK. If http://chawrec.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/BME-Mapping-Report-Complete.pdf is correct the Chester area is smaller than described in the article (which is why it is missing from List of urban areas in the United Kingdom); this needs correcting or a reference to say the definition has changed. It's a valid subject but the content isn't supported by the references. Peter James (talk) 21:54, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Chester. Comparison to the statistical area in the US is not apt, many US urban and metropolitan areas, even when not limited to city boundaries are covered within the city/county articles when reasonable, and are only separate when covering a larger combination area.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chester_Urban_Area, Changed the article and gotten an official ONS which as provided by Peter James identifies the article as a built up area. I have changed it around and provided ons sources. I think it should be fine. It is defiantly an official built up area as identifies in the 2011 census of Cheshire. Can someone please respond nothing has been done since my last reply — Preceding unsigned comment added by RailwayJG (talk • contribs) 10:36, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
