Well, NO, I think we should keep Youngstown-Warren-Bordman, OH Metropolitan Area because it is the "official" name created by the US Census Bureau and Steel Valley is only a nickname for the area. So if you want to talk FACTS -- I think we should keep the metropolitan area title instead of the "Steel Valley" or keep both seperate. Jordanrschroeder 23:06, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

NO, I don't think these two articles should be merged because Columbiana and Lawrence counties are not part of the 3 county metropolitan area (according to US Census Bureau) of Youngstown, Ohio. If they were, the population would be over 1,000,000 (real pop. is only around 700,000) and would rate one of the top metropolitan areas. It is only sixth or seventh metropolitan area in the state, with Youngstown only being the eighth largest city in the state of Ohio. I do not think these two articles should be merged.

I agree. There is absolutely no reason to merge. They are two different things. I honestly don't even see the need for the Youngstown-Warren-Boardman, OH-PA Metropolitan Area article. The information is completely taken from a few other articles and is entirely redundant. I actually think we should delete the new article. --Daysleeper47 13:09, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
