This article violates WP:NOR and WP:NOTOPINION and does not appear to be salvageable or recognized as a region appropriate for treatment on WP other than at most an amalgamation of already covered smaller regions. Hoppingalong (talk) 18:54, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Since the Encyclopaedia Britannica article titled "the North (region, United States)" seems to carry so much weight with some editors (with its focus on historical uses of the term), would one way to go be to do the following? Move the page to The North (United States) and then make it a diambiguation page noting that "The North" can be an anachranism referring to the Union (American Civil War) but can also possibly refer to one or more of the U.S. Census Bureau-designated Regions or the states making up those regions, other than and generally in comparison to the South.
