This list has no effective inclusion criteria (and some entries that don't even seem to match what is already there), being a completely arbitrary grab bag of completely unrelated entities and situations. The title itself is inherently vague, with "region" able to mean whatever a reader/editor wants it to. I don't see how this could become an encyclopaedic topic. As it is it's entirely whatever an editor feels is appropriate, and any possible criteria from the existing title would be so expansive as to be utterly unworkable. It's a classic WP:Original Research type list, and it's also completely unsourced. CMD (talk) 01:39, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy delete Incredbily vague and unsourced, entirely OR. Very sad that this has lasted this long. Yes, we are aware that borders are largely artificial constructs that inherently divide regions but this fails to demonstrate any basis in reality of similarity.

• Delete - an original research piece with no sources whatsoever, that has no hope of meeting Wikipedia's standards. It seems to throw together multiple vaguely-related situations into one list without any clear reason as to why. Long overdue for the bit bucket. ƒirefly ( t · c ) 10:52, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:TNT and redirect to Partition (politics). (t · c) buidhe 05:01, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
