The phrase "North Asia" is not commonly used, and does not have a commonly accepted definition. (Web search shows a few uses with various conflicting ad hoc definitions.) The other regions (E,SE,S,Central,West Asia) have UN geoscheme definitions but this does not. JWB ( talk) 04:55, 10 January 2008 (UTC) reply
Where are you getting that definition of North Asia?
Search on "north asia" shows the term has wildly different definitions, many of which do not contain Siberia at all.
United Nations geoscheme does not include a North Asia.
The most accurate thing to say about "North Asia" would be that it does not have a generally accepted definition, and is only used when it is arbitrarily defined for convenience, from various incompatible viewpoints. -- JWB ( talk) 04:06, 11 January 2008 (UTC) reply
