Rock Hill, South Carolina Area

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

While this describes an actual location, it's a big mass of synthesis. I can find no evidence that this is a recognized region, except for a single document from the Rock Hill city website that appears to restrict this region to a portion of York County, South Carolina — no sources appear to exist for the existence of a three-county sub-metropolitan area. Because the very idea that such a sub-metropolitan area exists appears to be made up by one or more Wikipedia editors, it's not a valid article topic; yes, these counties are part of a metropolitan area, but it's the Charlotte metropolitan area, and US metropolitan areas can't have metropolitan areas within them. Please consider this document, which contains official definitions for metropolitan areas in the USA; you'll see that Chester and Lancaster counties aren't in any metropolitan area, while York County is included in the Charlotte metropolitan area. Finally, please know that I considered merging to the Charlotte metro article, but this isn't a good choice, simply because the data included in this article are a mix of Charlotte metro and non-Charlotte metro information.

 * Look at this map of metropolitan areas throughout the USA; you'll see that the southern border of the Charlotte metro area is the northern border of Chester and Lancaster counties. Finally, if you have trouble finding these counties — click the links for maps of Chester, Lancaster, and York counties.  Nyttend (talk) 12:18, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete Violates WP:OR; it's not an official metropolitan area, and there's no sign than anyone aside from the author considers it significant, especially since it's unreferenced. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 20:32, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete It doesn't offer anything other than a localized area of roads and locations, partitioned from the Charlotte Metro Area or copied from the cities and counties listed on page. --WashuOtaku (talk) 04:18, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
