The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Redirect. This article has no sources whatsoever, and barely any content, it makes eminent sense to restore it to a redirect as it was previously unless and until a proper article with proper sourcing can be developed. Beeblebrox (talk) 06:42, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's simply the Census Bureau's name for the Seattle metro area. ∼∼∼∼ Eric0928^Talk 21:30, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of primary statistical areas of the United States. Praemonitus (talk) 23:06, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It seems emininently sensible for Wikipedia to define what this is. Redirecting to List of primary statistical areas of the United States doesn't make sense to me, because that is a list of all bluelinks linking out to articles about the statistical areas. Clicking on one of them randomly, i find that the Hartford-West Hartford one redirects to a section in a Greater Hartford article that gives detailed information about the statistical area. I would not object if someone wanted to create or develop a similar section in the Seattle metro area article, and redirect this to there, but they can do that without having an AFD. Or someone could develop this more. A 4.2 million population area is important. --do ncr am 23:44, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
