Is there a good reason for having removed southern France from this article ? How is it possible to think that a city like Marseille and an island like Corsica aren't part of Southern Europe while cities like Turin or Milan would be part of it ? If you put just a part of Turkey (Eastern Thrace !), I cannot understand why you could not put a part of France, at least the regions bordering the mediterranean sea (Corsica, Provence, Languedoc) -- Matieu Sokolovic ( talk) 08:23, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
According to Encyclopedia Britannica, Romania is listed under the Balkans article as a Balkan state. Would it be incorrect to place Romania within the parentheses following the words “Balkan Peninsula”? Moreover, in the introductory paragraph of this Southern Europe page, Romania isn’t listed at all, yet it is listed in the subdivisions section.

What is Encyclopedia Britannica and why should it be relevant? Less than 5% of Romania is Balkan, just the area under the Danube River known as Dobruja. This is not a reason to put Romania in southern Europe, because it's obviously Eastern Europe. Even the Balkans map don't include Romania as just a very small part under the Danube River is geographically Balkan, and even the Romanian part of Dobruja, which is SE Romania, is at the same latitude as Switzerland or Austria and I doubt anyone calls these countries southern Europe. Romania is Eastern Europe. -- 84.125.77.224 ( talk) 09:10, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
