Central Kentucky[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No proof that these are clearly defined regions; no reliable sources supporting the use of such terms. "Central Kentucky" has been an unsourced microstub since 2009, and "Northern Kentucky" has been tagged for sources since 2007. "Southeast Kentucky" has no inbound links at all. Compare Eastern Kentucky Coalfield, which does have sources proving the use of the term, and to which Eastern Kentucky is a redirect.

Delete South Central and Southeast, Keep Northern and Western The former two are more vague regions with less sourcing, but Northern has plenty of sources to be found as a part of the Cincinnati metro, and Western Kentucky is just as easily definable.

@Mrschimpf: I see no sources using "northern" or "Western" reliably. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 00:07, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Western and Northern, delete the others- Western Kentucky and Northern Kentucky are well-established regions. The others are not. Smartyllama (talk) 22:06, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Smartyllama: Where is the proof that they are "well established"? I found no sources. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 00:14, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- "Western Kentucky" and "Northern Kentucky" each have over 5 million Google results. The terms are well used, on universities, airports, highways, and more. Smartyllama (talk) 01:55, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Both Northern Kentucky University and Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport are plausible targets for a redirect, so at least a disambiguation page should remain. Power~enwiki (talk) 18:49, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep Northern Kentucky. Western Kentucky can either remain as a disambiguation page or redirect to Western Kentucky University. Delete the other three. Power~enwiki (talk) 18:47, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I have struck Northern and Western from this list because they seem to be plausible. I am continuing support of the rest. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 06:27, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and draftify on request and remove the extra AfDs, where the bundling is reducing the specific attention that is appropriate. This article needs sourcing, but AfD is not cleanup, and in its current state the article should not be on Wikipedia. For deletion policy, this would be WP:DEL7 with WP:IAR.
