*'''Delete''' Regions in the UK do not have capitals, as the article admits. Therefore, by it own admission, the article is pointless and OR of the worst kind. [[User:Emeraude|Emeraude]] ([[User talk:Emeraude|talk]]) 21:06, 5 October 2008 (UTC) |

*'''Delete.''' This article amounts to pure speculation on the part of the author. The first sentence of the article ''(There is no official capital of the Yorkshire and the Humber region of Great Britain)'' pretty much sums up the reason why there should not be an article on this topic. --<span style="background:#CC1010;color:#FFA0A0">''' Blanchardb''' </span>-<small><sup><span style="color:#A62428">[[User:Blanchardb|Me]]•[[User Talk:Blanchardb|MyEars]]•[[Special:Contributions/Blanchardb|MyMouth]]</span></sup></small>- timed 00:09, 6 October 2008 (UTC) |

**That sentence is verifiable.

Tegg and Son|date=1838}}, whose entry contains those very words in the first line. One can further source historical discussion of the capital of Yorkshire to sources such as {{cite book|title=The Edinburgh Review: Or Critical Journal| |
