Western Southeast Asia

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

"WESEA" is a non-notable neologism used by some small militant outfits. I don't support a redirect to Northeast India, since the Google Books search results indicate that in the mainstream sources, the term "Western Southeast Asia" is used to describe parts of the ASEAN region, not parts of India. utcursch | talk 17:54, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
 * The article has only one reference that actually mentions "WESEA", and even that reference does not support the assertion that this term refers to Seven Sister States + Bhutan + parts of Bengal.
 * Much of the content is mostly copy-paste from Northeast India, Seven Sister States or related articles.
 * The map and the sections like "Political Divisions", "Demographics" etc. simply state the facts/date for Northeast India region.
 * While there are a lot of Google hits and book mentions for the term WESEA, these are about the regions in Southeast Asia (Myanmar/Thailand), not the region described in this article.

 * Delete term is little used for east Bengal etc., i.e. it lacks notability under WP:GNG for this meaning, and is quite ambiguous. --Bejnar (talk) 23:17, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
