Frostbelt-Sunbelt shift

Non-notable and as it current stands it is inaccurate. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 00:03, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - although the title of the article could be changed to something like Southward Migration within the United States, and Frostbelt-Sunbelt Shift could be a synonym identified in the first paragraph of the article. The text of the article definitely needs work but this is a good start. Surely if one researches the literature there would be some research on this that would form the basis for a good wikipedia article? - Richard Cavell (talk) 00:54, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. There seems to be no overall History of migration within the United States or similar type of article. There is some coverage beginning with Demographic_history_of_the_United_States but that is a much broader article. This is a major trend and this is one of the names by which demographers know it (albeit with variants such as "snowbelt" or "migration"), and it's at least as significant as Great Migration (African American) and successor migrations. Just needs more/better sources. --Dhartung | Talk 01:29, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep (Richard's rename proposal makes sense). Notable. Inaccuracies should be corrected. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 16:39, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * That map has to go. There is no evidence of an outward shift in California migration.  California's population is going up, not down.   Corvus cornix  talk  22:14, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment. If it is going to be kept it needs to metion use in other countries of which there are few.  Need to avoid systemic bias. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 04:09, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
