This article has been unsourced since 2009 and violates WP:NOTDICT. Looking for sources on this (in English, to be clear, although it is an English term) only turns up news stories that happen to use the term Urban Luzon, often in relation to television, and studies that just say "urban Luzon", presumably meaning the statement literally. Despite the nice map, even if this article were to be changed to actually comment on the area rather than define the term, that would be better put in the Mega Manila article or one of the many similar terms linked in the See Also part of the page.

"Urban Luzon" isn't exactly a place, just like electoral districts aren't places; it's more like a television market in the United States. Therefore, the article should be indeed about it as a television market, and not say, what landforms and tourist spots are in there. With that being said, singular television markets do not have articles, so I don't know how to proceed. Maybe a redirect to AGB Nielsen Philippines?

That sounds fine to me. Mrfoogles (talk) 15:43, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect Urban Luzon → AGB Nielsen Philippines. "Urban Luzon" is just an alternative term used by AGB Nielsen Philippines to refer to the Greater Manila Area, which also refers to the same area or provinces. Additionally, this article violated the WP:NOTDICTIONARY as it only pertains to the definition of this term without demonstrating its notability. AstrooKai (Talk) 16:21, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
