Neologism or not actually officially defined. Might want to redirect to List of technology centers. — Sagotreespirit (^talk) 00:27, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As long as there is no agreement in the media and in society about what the "Silicon Valley of Europe" is, I see no need for the article. In addition, the List of technology centers is arranged according to continent and country. ZaaraTE (talk) 00:44, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Neology/catch-phrase so falls under WP:NOT (as in, Wikipedia is not a dictionary). There is no agreed "Silicon valley of Europe" and thus no subject for an encyclopedic article. Moreover many of the possible candidates aren't even called the "Silicon valley of Europe" but are instead better known by another moniker (e.g., Silicon Fen). Finally, as pointed out above, this duplicates content from List of technology centers. FOARP (talk) 17:08, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

PS - also nominate the following for deletion for the same/similar reasons:

Silicon Valley of Turkey - actual article is about a non-notable development that appears to have never happened.
Silicon Valley of China - same as Silicon Valley of Europe.
German Silicon Valley - same as Silicon Valley of Europe. FOARP (talk) 17:15, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
