== Anna's view on the term "Chandigarh Capital Region" == 

 ===Suggested plan=== 
 *Chandigarh could have a section called something like "Surrounding areas" that starts: "...The city is located within overlapping regions referred to as Chandigarh Capital Region, Chandigarh district, and Chandigarh Tricity. Chandigarh district is officially recognized, whereas .... are terms that loosely encompass..." and then add content specific to that entire geographical area. 

 *Chandigarh district could stand alone, as it is recognized by the government, but would preferrably be mentioned in the surrounding areas section, and briefly in the geography section with "....The city is located within Chandigarh district..." to help identify where the city is situated.  

 *Chandigarh Tricity should go because gets few google hits and is not recognized. 

 *The list of related/child articles containing "...Chandigarh Capital Region..." should simply be moved to the same name without ..."Capital Region...", where possible. Others are already merge candidates. 

 ===My rationale=== 
 I checked some of the links. Chandigarh Capital Region is referred to, but not defined geographically. Nor is the region the subject of the sources. That means it doesn't pass WP:GNG for starters. When it is defined geographically the same way by a number of sources, (preferrably the government of India), and is the main subject of those sources, fine. If Chandigarh Capital Region remains, it will draw vague edits, and give rise to vague child articles, as the term itself is vague. 

 A reference supporting the existence of the region in the lead is conspicuously absent. Google image maps show nothing. 

 The "Surrounding areas" section is convenient because then, when mentioning a landmark for example, one doesn't need to specify what area it's in. It is then only necessary to specify its proximity to the city. 

 Although it is a bit awkward to have sections that encompass the subject, I think it is necessary. Otherwise, there will be confusion and lots of overlap. The result would be conflicting information, unconfirmable information, duplicate, and non-centralized information. Chandigarh still has plenty of room. These vague, conflicting, and ambiguous terms deserve to be covered in the article. There they can be, over time, better defined. Having them all on one page, and in one section, will help editors compare definitions between them. 

 Sorry for the long post.
