It's just a term - no reason to suggest why it should merit its own stand-alone article. Expansion of this would probably require synthesis violating WP:NOR. A merger could be appropriate if anyone can suggest a place. See the talk page for a minor critique of this term. There's no southern group article, and the two citations are inadequate for an encyclopedia article addressing the topic at hand.-h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 23:52, 27 August 2007 (UTC) h i s   s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 23:52, 27 August 2007 (UTC) 
 * Neutral Might be a bit of WP:NEO since the group is rather undefined even in the sources cited. However, if there are more recent EU politics sources that give it a more solid definition, I'd change to keep. Wl219 01:58, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless the sources mentioned above are found.  The BBC article does not mention this term at all and the pdf file gives a 1 line passing mention, which is not enough for notability Corpx 04:49, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. It also includes false information, as Italy is a southern European country with a high GDP.-h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 20:47, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete The EU Referendum blog has been writing about the EU for a few years in painful detail, and their site gives not hits to the term. If anyone would know, they would. MarkBul 02:13, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete - It's WP:NEO the term has acording to the provided sources only been used by a BBC article. This does not make this a legitimate term to describe the EU-states mentioned. What it comes down to is the list mentions nearly half the current member states of the EU.  1 redrun  Talk 11:28, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
