There is quite a lot of countryside between Fukuoka and Kitakyushu. It is thus misleading to talk of a "Fukuoka-Kitakyushu" metropolitan area, and I think this article should be deleted. --Historian 06:56, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

But the two cities are increasingly becoming complementing each other's functionality. I would prefer adding "negative" descriptions to deleting it, following Wikipedia's "add than delete" policy. Soredewa 02:08, 25 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

As a resident of one of the cities I do not think anybody in either city actually uses the phrase. Both cities are in Fukuoka prefecture, but they are very different and about 50 kilometres apart.--Historian 06:56, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

Having a green belt, horticultural area or even a national park between two cities will not necessarily disqualify from forming a metropolitan area. Even overwhelming majority's view can be subjective. Many businesses handle these two cities with a single branch office. Soredewa 02:22, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please give examples of businesses which handle the two cities with one office. I can't think of any, and I live here. Also "metropolis" means "a very large city" and Fukuoka-Kitakyushu is not one city. There are several cities and towns in between the two: Munakata, Onga, Fukutsu, etc. I have now started a Vfd. --Historian 07:29, July 27, 2005 (UTC)

If you read Japanese, http://gazone.morrie.biz/siryoo/data.html

at least some business and economics experts think / prospect such.

If there is no current reality, the perception is there, therefore is worth :entry. I could be a bit of futurist. Soredewa 02:34, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The example you give talks about Kanmon-Kitakyushu area, not Fukuoka-Kitakyushu. Sorry, it doesn't convince me. I don't know about fifty or 100 years from now, but at present the concept is meaningless. It makes much more sense to talk of the Kanmon area which combines Kitakyushu and Shimonoseki. --Historian 03:57, July 28, 2005 (UTC)

So-called Fukuoka-Kitakyushu Metropolitan Area is a campaign, not a metropolitan area. For instance, the commuters from Kitakyushu to Fukuoka or Fukuoka to Kitakyushu are both less than 1%. But Fukuoka-Kitakyushu have closer ties compared with Kitakyushu-Oita or Fukuoka-Kumamoto, because they are, quite simply, in the same prefecture.

If the article is necessary, it should be renamed as "Fukuhoku Net" or such. As a bureaucratic campaign, it parhaps worth mentioning. --Suika, July 28 2005.

Thank you. Please can you cast your vote on the Vfd page?--Historian 05:02, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
