→South as a direction: agreed--how do we fix it?
==South as a direction==
==South as a direction==
'''South''' is a direction, you know... not a place or a political entity like [[The West]]. It is one of the cardinal points of the compass along with [[East]], [[West]] and [[North]] and should be counted with them. To be a place it needs the "The" in front of it . As it stands, with no "South" joining its siblings in Category: Navigation, it is a fine example of CP parochialism. [[User:AlanE|AlanE]] ([[User talk:AlanE|talk]]) 02:11, 4 November 2016 (EDT)

:After reading you comment, I blundered onto the page, thinking I could patch it up a bit or add a paragraph to deal with the problem. As you clearly recognized, that's not going to work for this--the entire thing is on the wrong topic. I'm guessing a move would be best (dump this page somewhere else, then make a page on the compass direction) but what do you think this page should be titled? "The South," "Southern United States," "South United States," or something else entirely? --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup><small>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</small></sup> 10:41, 4 November 2016 (EDT)
