Undivided Goalpara district is popularly known as Goalpara region, so this article is duplication of Undivided Goalpara district. भास्कर्bhagawati Speak 13:00, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

• Oppose: Goalpara region is a present-day geographical region, that is currently used in the literature ([1]). The use of "Goalpara region" in modern literature is the context of some common characteristic (culture, people, or endemic flora and fauna), without reference to a definite boundary. Undivided Goalpara district, OTOH, is a former administrative district of Assam established by the British that is characterized by a definite boundary and administration.

• Comment: Historically there is no political Goalpariya region but became so only after creation of said district. Those areas are part of ancient Kamrup. Scholars refers Undivided Goalpara district as Goalpara region, so everything from people to history can be discussed there. Undivided Goalpariya district is valid term and so called term Goalpariya region came into being only after creation of former. If you completly update Undivided Goalpara district and Golapariya region, we have almost identical copies.भास्कर्bhagawati Speak 13:54, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
