There is no such region. Sughd Region of Tajikistan is divided into districts. On occasion, some districts can be referred to a group of southern districts (and not necessarily the same ones), but this is not a subdivision in any sense. Ymblanter (talk) 08:21, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Ayni, Kuhistoni Mastchoh and Panjakent are the southern districts of Sughd and belong to the Zarafshon sub-basin, the other ones – Devashtich (Gonchi) and Shahriston – are more centrally located in the region and belong to Syrdaryo basin.^[1] Southern districts of Sughd (Zeravshan Valley): Ayni (Aini) District, Kuhistoni Mastchoh District and Panjakent District ( Sughd_Region#Districts) Shevonsilva (talk) 13:09, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This is not an official division. Anybody can pick up a group of districts and call them southern.--Ymblanter (talk) 13:04, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your response. It is never mentioned in article as a political division or a region with finite boundaries. These may be commonly used partitions and have more weights to geographical divisions. Shevonsilva (talk) 13:09, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No, it is not a commonly used particion. It is a partition used in a book you happen to have access while stamping your microstubs. We had similar discussions before, and I strongly advised you to only write about subjects you know what you are talking about. This is clearly not such a subject.--Ymblanter (talk) 13:14, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, it is a subject we know. I will reply soon. Shevonsilva (talk) 15:05, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The southern part of the province is the east-west valley of the upper Zarafshan River. North, over the Turkestan Range, is the Ferghana Valley. (Sughd Region) If we are going to delete the article, please remove or modify the content of the Sughd Region to make it more consistent, and, if we want to keep it, please leave it as it is. Anyway, I do not really like to argue with people. best wishes. Shevonsilva (talk) 17:19, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for cross checking the references with articles and improved my awareness of the articles a bit long ago. 17:29, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
Delete as per nom. The existence of a noun phrase somewhere in a book simply is not enough to justify a permastub. Imaginatorium (talk) 16:02, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not an actual area. Reywas92^Talk 19:17, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Completely pointless stub that does not even say what this consists of. It is one short sentence that says (paraphrasing) that Sughd has a southern part. Well, duh, so does anywhere. SpinningSpark 12:02, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. That some combination of words appear in a document somewhere does not make that an actual thing that we can write an article about. Reyk _YO! 13:13, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
