List of busiest port regions

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Page subject not referenced in any of the references. Original research. Fob.schools (talk) 07:57, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
 * To add, I have never seen a list of port regions, so it is very difficult to pick out the busiest port regions. None of the links to the 'port regions' in the article links to an article about a 'port region'. They link to a variety of articles about geographical, political and cultural areas, but none seem to discuss the ports of the region. It's just a piece of WP:LISTCRUFT.

 * comment Weird rollup of List of busiest ports by cargo tonnage, which to some degree is already looking at regions anyway. Mangoe (talk) 19:19, 31 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete as OR. According to the book Ports in Proximity: Competition and Coordination among Adjacent Seaports, "Geographers have defined various types of regions except the port region. ... Overall, the port region seems to be a rather descriptive term with no real content or operational explanative power, recalling other unidentified real objects (Brunet 1997) such as medium-sized cities."
