Said to be the name for a region in
Otago, without significant coverage in reliable sources dedicated to the name itself.
Otago would be a proper redirect target, but there's nothing in this to salvage, so AFDing. —

Keep I am told by Southland-born and raised residents of North Otago that this is very much a region and not part of South Otago. Described by them as covering Tapanui ('flu) Kelso and Heriot.
See this. Can't provide more citations than suggesting looking up "West Otago" in Google which comes up with "About 48,400 results". This kind of thing is what Wikipedia is here for. (0.44 seconds)"

It could still probably be merged into
Otago and I already saw the Google hits for "West Otago school", "West Otago Theatrical Society", etc, before I AFD'd this (because this AFD wasn't based strictly on Google hits). Thus far, you've presented the most compelling argument.—

Redirect' or Move to Otago - unless we intend to split the Regions in New Zealand into north, south, east, and west, which seems pointless.

Thanks Gutness. Looking at the list though Central Otago Mid Canterbury, Thames Valley, and possibly the Hibisduc Coast do not seem to merit their own articles under
WP:GEO and
WP:GNG. My reasoning is that the Otago article could easily include the sub-areas without overloading the article; and Canterbury could include mid-Canterbury. If you look up North Canterbury it redirects you to Canterbury, although South Canterbury has its own article. A redirect would seem more appropriate here.
