The result of the debate was kind of a consensus to delete, but on the other hand there are suggestions here to redirect this to Tri-Cities, Virginia. I have looked at that article and the heading there says "also known as ... the Appomattox Basin". I am calling this a redirect there. Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:09, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Appomattox Basin
This region is part of the Richmond-Petersburg region (Richmond VA MSA) which already has an article. The Tri-Cities, Virginia article has significantly more information and covers the same geographic area. MPS 18:33, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete per nom MPS 18:33, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete this article is totally rendundant and less informative than the other articles about the area. Vaoverland 22:13, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

- How about we change it to a redirect to Tri-Cities, Virginia? Vaoverland 04:27, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
- This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 14:19, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete per the fact that I trust Vaoverland's opinions on issues relating to the geography of Virginia. Youngamerican 19:06, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
- Keep or merge/redirect, valid topic that should be discussed in Wikipedia. Christopher Parham (talk) 22:52, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
- The "Appomatox Basin" article is intended to be a geographic area, not a geological feature. Like Manhattan Island or the Outer Banks of North carolina, the Appomatox Basin is a description of a region that is essentially identical to the Tri-Cities, Virginia area. If you want to talk about slope the river basin etc, this information can be contained in Appomattox River. Reconsider? MPS 00:11, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

- Delete - the encycl;opaedic content of the article is so much smaller than the surrounding furniture (including the regional template) as to be ridiculous. I believe Vaoverland is well versed on this area's coverage in WP and so rather than vote merge, I support delete. - Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 14:07, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
