 * Keep. The fact that a page has been vandalized is no reason to delete it. That would be like tearing down one's house because a passing stranger threw trash on the lawn. Anyway, the southern colonies among the Thirteen Colonies are recognized as a distinct topic of interest by scholars. See for evidence. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:39, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment I fixed the nom to take out the vandalism part, and added something I forgot about merging it into the Thirteen Colonies article. In my opinion, I feel like having a short article on the 13 colonies, then larger articles about each of the sections, is not the best way to do it. I feel that we should either make each colony have its own individual page and find more information, or include them all in one page. It seems overboard to make this many pages with only links to others (13 colonies page linking to the page on southern, etc.). gwickwire &#124; Leave a message 23:42, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - As a notable topic. As with the Middle Colonies, this distinct grouping has coverage in reliable sources.  See, , and  as a small set of examples. -- Whpq (talk) 16:19, 3 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Withdrawn. I see the points of the persons commenting on this and the AfD for Middle Colonies. Therefore, I am withdrawing both nominations.
