Southern Caribbean

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Almost completely WP:UNSOURCED since creation, WP:OR. The only two sources do not contain the phrase "Southern Caribbean". On the Internet, it seems to be mainly used by cruise ship industry promotions. No WP:RS properly or consistently define the phrase, and apart from "South Caribbean" being a term in plate tectonics, nobody seems to be regarding this as a distinct region with its own separate identity/history/culture/music etc. other than the sum of its parts. Similar situation with Caribbean South America, just a lot more unsourced text. Formally proposing deletion after rejected WP:PROD. NLeeuw (talk) 18:38, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete: Ungh, of these unsourced articles that's too wordy to be hokum, but without sourcing, we can't prove anything. The phrase is used, , but I don't see it being anything other than a geographical descriptor. Oaktree b (talk) 19:45, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete It's easy to pick a region and then subdivide it into subregions by compass direction, but that doesn't mean that subregion is a distinct or notable entity about which you can say things as a whole. Everything in every section can be either also be applied to countries elsewhere in the Caribbean (they drink rum!) or is just a jumble of facts about specific countries that don't apply to the subregion overall. I'm not even sure how Saint Lucia was picked to be in this but not Martinique, because everything here is made-up. Reywas92Talk 20:37, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
