Article is about a geographic term that does not appear to exist. Contrary to the lead sentence that states "Upstate Connecticut is a term commonly used to refer to Connecticut's rural northern counties," the use of this term appears to be limited to Wikipedia, a fictional movie, a few random statements on webpages (mostly non-RS).
In August 2009, I added the notability template to the article, with the note "I don't see evidence that this terminology is truly established by a reliable source." Subsequently, a map that was formerly in the article was removed with the edit summary "Map is not based on fact, rather personal opinion", and there has been some discussion on the talk page, but no one has supplied nontrivial sources to substantiate the use of the term. The term gets a lot of ghits, but most are links to the plot or reviews of the movie
The Haunting in Connecticut, which seems to be the source of this term.
It's high time to remove the article, before this term enters common usage because people believe the Wikipedia article.
