Talk:Black Belt (region of Alabama)

message: The articles Alabama Black Belt and Black Belt (region of Alabama) cover an identical topic and should be merged. I suggest Alabama Black belt is the less developed of the two and should be replaced with a redirect once the merge is complete.--Chris Jefferies 22:53, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. Alabama Black Belt was only created on May 2, 2007. It seems to be about both the black belt described on this page as well as Black Belt (U.S. region). Both of these articles are older and more in-depth. Both could use work to be sure, but having a third article is not helpful. I could see three articles if one was on the large racially-based region, one was on the economic/political region of Alabama, and one was specially on the geologic soil-based (physiographic) region that includes parts of Mississippi as well as Alabama. If someone wanted to tackle such a thing that would be wonderful. I'm not up to the task at the moment. Otherwise, yea, if there is anything useful and new on Alabama Black Belt, it ought to be moved to one of the two existing pages, I think. Pfly 01:10, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I’m just wondering who considers Lamar County part of the Black Belt. I don’t see a citation for it. The article concedes that Lamar doesn’t fit geographically. It doesn’t fit demographically, either. It’s “rural,” but so are a lot of places. 
No one would call Bibb County part of the Black Belt, even though it’s also rural and borders Black Belt counties. Sartysnopes (talk) 06:16, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
