The result was   Redirect. This article has no sources whatsoever, and barely any content, it makes eminent sense to restore it to a redirect as it was previously unless and until a proper article with proper sourcing can be developed. Beeblebrox (talk) 06:42, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Redirect to List of primary statistical areas of the United States. Praemonitus (talk) 23:06, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. It seems emininently sensible for Wikipedia to define what this is.  Redirecting to List of primary statistical areas of the United States doesn't make sense to me, because that is a list of all bluelinks linking out to articles about the statistical areas.  Clicking on one of them randomly, i find that the Hartford-West Hartford one redirects to a section in a Greater Hartford article that gives detailed information about the statistical area.  I would not object if someone wanted to create or develop a similar section in the Seattle metro area article, and redirect this to there, but they can do that without having an AFD.  Or someone could develop this more.  A 4.2 million population area is important. -- do  ncr  am  23:44, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
