My original Keep comment ran, "How are these not dab pages? The OP says, "No one will get here". Yet, if I search for "Eastern", it's offered at the end. If I search for "Eastern Pro..." And that's when I realized that, no, in fact this is different. It links to the articles linked in Eastern, but is itself an orphan. This is long obsolete, as the rest of the dab infrastructure for these types of articles has evolved but it's stayed static. As creator of the articles in question, I say Delete. --

Read PTM. For example, nobody refers to eastern Thailand (or anything else I can think of off the top of my head) as simply Eastern. Maybe a college?

Merge back into the parent DABs and redirect as {{R from incomplete disambiguation}}. Since these mainly just link to other DAB pages, and none of the parent dab page (e.g.
Northern (disambiguation),
Eastern (disambiguation), etc.) are that long, there no length concern about merging them there. On the whole, these are valid dab pages since most of the entries meet
WP:PTM, though admittedly some entries should be in the "See also" and not in the main body. Overall though, it's easier for navigation to merge them back up to the parent dabs. ----
