Deletion of Central German Metropolitan Region

Comment: Reading the nominator's rationale, it is fairly clear that their  did not include reading the German Wikipedia article or looking for German sources - a distinct omission when considering a German topic. My German is fairly rudimentary, but even so I can understand the Geschichte (History) section of the German article well enough to understand that the nominator's complaints about contradictions and the topic not being well-defined instead represent a situation where a nationally-supported regional development initiative has partly collapsed, with four of the eleven participating cities pulling out and the remaining seven recently relaunching it in a slightly different form - and the article here has only been roughly and incompletely updated. I would, in fact, strongly recommend, at least as a temporary expedient, the insertion in the article here of a translation of the History section of the German Wikipedia article (complete with references) - unfortunately, an attempt to do so myself quickly convinced me that the task is beyond my linguistic abilities. However, what I hope I can do is to replace the current out of date map here with the currently accurate one in the German article. So far as sources go, searching under the German name for the region - {{find sources|Metropolregion Mitteldeutschland}} - produces far more sources that the two GBooks found in the nominator's search, some of which certainly seem reliable, to the extent that my German allows me to judge them
