The result was   delete. Per Knepflerle, this does not seem to actually exist as a defined administrative region, so OR does appear to apply. (And perhaps WP:V as well.) Shimeru (talk) 08:05, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

''Resources given in this article don't mention "Silesian metropolitan region" and are not describing anything similar apart from considering relations between Katowice and Kraków area (and don't name it "Silesian metropolitan region" or anything similar in polish language). The only reliable information included in this article is already included in other articles like Silesian metropolitan area, Metropolitan Association of Upper Silesia, Upper Silesian Industrial Region and Katowice urban area. This article clearly violates WP:NOR policy so my proposal is to delete this article.'' --83.242.88.168 (talk) 12:55, 19 May 2010 (UTC) Ron Ritzman (talk) 13:28, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete as original research. Sources that are cited do not support the definition proposed by this article. — Kpalion(talk) 14:21, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge to Silesian metropolitan area. There is no need for two separate articles. One can always mention this topic as an extension of the metropolitan area concept that already has an article. --Polaron | Talk 14:33, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, but only if there are reliable sources to support that mention. Otherwise, original research should be deleted, not merged into existing articles. — Kpalion(talk) 14:54, 19 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Merge Significant content, but duplication. Carrite (talk) 15:17, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep It makes no sense to integrate everything. In addition, the article will be (for some time) expanded. LUCPOL (talk) 17:02, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete: this is almost entirely a WP:OR synthesis of information. Expanding the article will not ameliorate matters as it's an unsound concept for an article altogether. The region as defined in the article doesn't correspond to any governmental or administrative region.  The main source used to "define" the region doesn't even use the term used as the title, and the area is "defined" as a convenient hypothetical construct for this one particular paper, which itself does not seem particularly notable.
