San Diego Bay Area

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The content of the article is largely unsourced and duplicative of existing articles. Moreover, the subject itself is not supported by reliable sources. A Google Books search for "san diego bay area" returns 80-85% results with "San Diego Bay area", with a lowercase "a", signifiying that the phrase does not refer to a defined geographical area. Even the results with "San Diego Bay Area" with the capital "A" give no definition of the term. Dohn joe (talk) 19:01, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete no clear definition for the area; WP:OR. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 19:02, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Unlike the San Francisco Bay Area (San Francisco and Oakland, some include San Jose); and the Tampa Bay Area (Tampa and St. Petersburg), where there are major cities in separate counties, this article definition limits this to something all within San Diego County.  I'm not sure how many articles we need to go with San Diego metropolitan area, San Diego, San Diego Bay, and San Diego County.  Mandsford 19:17, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete it's not an independent geographical area, like Mandsford said. It might be okay to Merge it into San Diego County, providing we can source the unsourced info with reliable sources.  D u s t i *poke* 19:26, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete I grew up in California and have never heard the expression. There is also no unique information in the article, as mentioned. However it is a wonderful area. Steve Dufour (talk) 20:24, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Merge With San Diego Bay article 08OceanBeach SD (talk) 10:02, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge with San Diego County article. Although the article has some useful content, in all the years since I have counted myself a resident of San Diego County (1984 with periods of absents) I have not heard or scene the usage of the term as described here. The content should be moved to the appropriate sections of aforementioned article. That is unless, this article is a sub-article, which it does not appear to be.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 10:33, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge to San Diego County, California.  Dough 48  72  04:54, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete This article was created in good faith by a fairly new editor who has been making a lot of valuable contributions here. However, this term "San Diego Bay Area" does not appear to be in general use, certainly not in the sense described in the article as including both San Diego and Mission bays, and not much to include the cities around San Diego Bay either. It's certainly not a common expression like North County or South Bay. Before it was nominated for deletion there was discussion at the article's talk page, which pretty much reached the same conclusion. I would argue against a redirect to San Diego Bay. This is an unlikely search term, and anyone typing in "San Diego Bay Area" will automatically be offered "San Diego Bay" as a link anyhow, so there's no point in a redirect IMO. --MelanieN (talk) 17:00, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
