Economic regions of Canada

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The "economic regions of Canada" are not a notable thing in their own right — they are, rather, an internal Statistics Canada mechanism used solely for aggregating employment statistics for various Canadian markets. And the only sourcing that exists for this list, further, is a Statistics Canada web page which doesn't even actually define what any of the regions are, but just lists them and then gives a general boilerplate "For census subdivisions: See: StatsCan website. For localities: See: StatsCan website." description under each and every last one of them — which means even the sourcing isn't actually helping anything or anyone. In effect, that just makes this a pointless list of things that will never actually have separate articles of their own — but Wikipedia does not exist as a venue for publishing lists of non-notable things.

 * Delete per nom. This is just a Stats Canada classification that nobody else seems to use. There are scattered mentions of Canadian economic regions, but they're rather generic and have no connection to this list. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:44, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
