There's no such thing as the "Nelson Region". Tasman District and Nelson City are two distinct administrative entities. They are unitary authorities and as such are not part of a combined region. Some government agencies regard Nelson City as "The Nelson Region" (e.g., Statistics New Zealand, but they do not include the Tasman District as part of it. To try to group these two separate entities together is incorrect and misleading. The term is sometimes used, with a lower-case "R", to indicate a vague geographical area, but that would hardly form the basis of an article ( Tasman District covers that pretty well), but it is not one of the country's official administrative (capital R) Regions. Even the hatnote on the article admits as such with its comment For the current top-level subdivision of Nelson in New Zealand, see Nelson, New Zealand. If the city's the top level adminstrative subdivision, then, by definition, this article is about a non-existent place. Grutness... wha? 14:28, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
Your argument for deletion of this page does not stand for several reasons. Yes, "Nelson Region" is not a region in the same political sense as Canterbury, Otago or Taranaki. However, people outside of the Nelson / Tasman area rarely understand that local residents and many visitors still refer to the whole area as the "Nelson Region". This reference is more like Central, East, and North Otago or New England whereby the name pertains to a geographical rather than political region. Any claims that the "Nelson Region" page should be deleted would require the deletion of the Otago and New England pages on the same grounds. A quick search of Google identified numerous organisations that use the term "Nelson Region". These included: The Encyclopedia of New Zealand [1], The Nelson Mail [2], Nelson Regional Development Agency [3], The Nelson-Marlborough Institute of Technology [4], and Lonely Planet [5]. -- 125.236.176.24 ( talk) 21:05, 6 May 2017 (UTC)— 125.236.176.24 ( talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
