You're right 1990'sguy, and I wasn't ignoring it. both suggestions are pretty good. I think South (region) a great candidate for a redirect, and perhaps South (American region), so if someone types "South" into the search box, that will show. However, the south doesn't mean the same in Australia or any other country as it does here in the US. The problem becomes, how do title a page on a colloquial term for global use? It sounds like from this discussion, "The South" is the favored option, so that's what I'll probably do unless someone else objects or intervenes. To help patch up the aftermath, a few redirects will be in order, including one from South (region). --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup><small>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</small></sup> 18:19, 5 November 2016 (EDT)
