[edit] SanSan
Defunct, inaccurate term only used once in a book from 1961. Google shows one mention that isn't a Wiki mirror. Delete. fethers 05:07, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Non-notable neologism. -Will Beback ·:· 05:18, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete and add the paragraph of the article explaining the term's non-notability and inaccuracy, into the related articles like Jean Gottman, Megalopolis (city type), BosWash, to discourage resurrection. --JWB 05:55, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- Weak Keep Aside from Gottman, I remember both of those place names from Mack Reynolds novels of the 60s-70s. Don't know if that's sufficient enough, but it's more than one reference, anyway. -- LaughingVulcan 03:15, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. It is a human geography term. If not kept, save as a redirect to BosWash, at least, and add a sentence per JWB's suggestion. —ScouterSig 19:59, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
- Keep I have read about this megalopolis in my secondary school geography textbook, hence it must have a certain degree of notability. (I can't remember its ISBN number though)--Kylohk 16:48, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- Strong Keep I live in San Francisco. This phrase is used a lot by people (or at least the people I know) who live between San Jose and San Francisco, it has parallels in names like Baltiwash or those other conglomerate names, and labels a distinct human geographic phenomenon with no other decription: the continuous urbanized landscape extending down the penninsula and into Silicon Valley.

- That's kind of interesting, and quite different from the original usage (in this article) for San Francisco to San Diego! Hey, if you include San Mateo, would it be SanSanSan? And how about San Rafael? --JWB 19:47, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
