It's only a very short definition. Takabeg (talk) 04:56, 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)
 * Delete per nom --Canyouhearmenow 14:04, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Being a stub is not a valid reason for deletion. Jimmy Pitt   talk  14:55, 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) 16:43, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per Pitt and Arxilocos. --Lambiam 07:34, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, obviously. A whole province not an appropriate subject for an encyclopedia article? And two editors wading in to support the nomination? I'm really starting to think that the lunatics have taken over the asylum. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:05, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Obviously notable as a province of a major historical power. No valid reason for deletion has been offered. Edward321 (talk) 18:33, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
