Talk:Eastern Virginia

Regions

The subregions of Eastern Virginia were recently changed with this edit. New region pages weren't made though, and the existing subregion pages (Hampton Roads and Westmoreland County (Virginia)) were delinked and are currently orphaned. I could rollback the region changes but the old subregions were incomplete (large parts of the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula were not covered) so I think it would be good to migrate the old subregion pages to the new subregions.

My initial thoughts are:

• The Northern Neck and the Middle Peninsula only have one destination each right now. Given how little coverage we currently have, I'd prefer to combine them into one subregion. We could move the orphaned Westmoreland County (Virginia) to Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula to create the subregion page
• Split the existing Hampton Roads guide to create the Virginia Peninsula and South Hampton Roads guides. Virginia Peninsula would be a new page with relevant destinations and info copied from Hampton Roads. What is left on the Hampton Roads page would be moved to and become South Hampton Roads
• No changes to Eastern Shore (Virginia)

This would put two destinations in Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula, five in Virginia Peninsula and five in South Hampton Roads. It's possibly too many subregions for only 12 destinations, although the rivers chopping the region up and the urban/rural split seem to make it a distinguishable way to subdivide Eastern Virginia. Thoughts? -Shaundd (talk) 22:37, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

I feel like the splitting of Hampton roads is an unnatural regional breakdown. On the other hand, the 2 northern peninsulas should be combined into 1 region article, but the proposed name is too long. What about naming the region the Chesapeake Bay region? That name is used by the official tourism website for Virginia. JsfasdF252 (talk) 01:42, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
