Delete - this article's intent/content already exists in Greater Vancouver/Lower Mainland, British Columbia Coast/Vancouver Island and British Columbia Interior/Northern British Columbia, which are the "top-level" BC regions. As a grouping, sans the BC patch of the Canadian Prairies in the Northeast (part of the Interior), the geographic grouping relative t o the Shield, St. Lawrence/Great Lakes basin, Maritimes etc is the Pacific Cordillera. This article's title/content also, yes, is composed of BC Tourism rebranding material/efforts e.g. "Kootenay Rockies"and "Coast Chilcotin Cariboo" which are not "real" regions, not by those names anyway; this page probably started by a Ministry of Tourism official/contractee by the look of such content. Fact of the matter is that the BC govt ministries ALL have different administrative/marketing regions - Forestry's is different from Environment/Parks, Energy/Mines/Resources different again, Tourism, Education, Aboriginal Affairs etc. They can all be mentioned in the course of other articles, and maybe redirects established; but they should not be the a priori hierarchical definitions, even if official; they are, especially the tourism regions - SPAM in nature as implicity advertising-oriented/created.Skookum1 (talk) 17:15, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
