Canterbury-Bankstown

I posted this in the talk page of the article but I thought I'd post here too.

The biggest issue here is that regions are general terms and not specifically or officially defined. You asked a good question here. Where does it stop? That's exactly my point. People could create an endless number of Sydney regions based on usage by one guide or another. Where do we limit it? So maybe the region you have created here should be included as a separate region. However, many people also include the suburbs in this area in South-western Sydney, so you will be opening a big can of worms if you start changing all the suburb articles to your selected region. We've had edit wars between various wikipedia editors who argue whether a suburb should be included in the Hills District or Northern Suburbs regions. Since we already have a standard intro for all the Sydney suburbs in the Canterbury-Bankstown area pointing to South-western Sydney, can I suggest you don't change that? If you want to include another region in the intro, then you can tack it on the end. This is what has been done with suburbs of Southern Sydney that also fall into the St George District.
