Northwestern Mexico

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Extension of the "List of regions of Mexico" AfD. These articles are unverifiable and the subdivisions appear to be completely made up by the author(s). For the exact same reasons I am also nominating the following articles:

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete.  I'm very happy to see this revived.  Thanks for doing it.  These eight articles constitute a political division of Mexico that does not reflect any actual such division in Mexican government.  The only "regions" in Mexico are small divisions in the D.F. and the equivalent of counties in Oaxaca.  This regional scheme appears to have been completely concocted by an editor.  It'll take some work to extract it from all the lists, categories and articles it has percolated down into.  I'm volunteering.  --Lockley (talk) 23:40, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

 * delete As the original instigator I was going to stay out things this time, but since it seems to be stalled, I will repeat what I found before. These "regions" were all created on the Spanish WP at the same time by a single user. They have the same lack of substantive references (mostly they link to a couple of tourism sites which, as far as I can tell, don't divide the country up this way), and they seem to have been unwarily copied from there to here. But I could find nobody but WP making this kind of division. Mangoe (talk) 10:11, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete as original research which fails verifiability due to a lack of reliable sources. Edison (talk) 19:39, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
