It's only a very short definition. Takabeg (talk) 04:46, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete There's no need for an article if it contains only such a very short definition. DARTH SIDIOUS 2 (Contact) 08:50, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Being a stub is not a valid reason for deletion. Jimmy Pitt   talk  14:58, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Fits Wikipedia's function as a gazetteer; the essay Notability (geography) says, "Defunct legally-recognized places are considered notable."--Arxiloxos (talk) 16:44, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per Arxiloxos. mkehrt (talk) 22:31, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per Pitt and Arxilocos. --Lambiam 07:34, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep as an obviously ridiculous nomination, bordering on the disruptive (if not over the border). I would suggest that anyone that doesn't realise that a province is an appropriate subject for an encyclopedia article should refrain from commenting at AfD until they have learnt what an encyclopedia is.

 * Keep Obviously notable as a province of a major historical power. No valid reason for deletion has been offered. Edward321 (talk) 18:35, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
