Seems nonidiomatic. DTLHS (talk) 01:58, 30 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Keep: It's a real term used by the United Nations and even has its own dedicated Wikipedia article. Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 02:13, 30 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
Why should idiomacy be a factor with a geographical definition? DonnanZ (talk) 10:08, 30 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
While not terribly relevant in this case, there does have to be a line drawn somewhere, for instance we would probably not want "terms" like five mountains immediately north of Everest or Atlantic Ocean around 25°N 71°W. I don't think this entry is nearly to those extremes, but it does matter a bit. - TheDaveRoss 13:44, 10 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
