Non-notable census area. Sourcing, there are only two, entirely to the primary Nomis/ONS. The arguments are set out in detail at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alfreton/South Normanton Built-up area and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Royal Leamington Spa Built-up area, both of which concluded in Delete. Note that this is one of eight BUAs by the same author that are at AfD. The others being Burnley Built-up area / Birkenhead Built-up area / Barnsley/Dearne Valley Built-up area / Lancaster/Morecambe Built-up area / Ipswich built-up area / Norwich built-up area / Accrington/Rossendale Built-up area.

Weak Delete - I dont think there are any sources outside of the census and no obvious merge target. The 1966 book conurbations of Great Britain has this to say about the area "In North Wales the coast towns from Prestatyn through Rhyl [then it mentions a load of other towns] are virtually fused one into another but they are excluded here as the process of conurban linkage is hardly complete" Eopsid (talk) 17:34, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As with all of the rest, rationales already given at length in the two prior AFD discussions given in the nomination applying just as equally here, this is a concept that has never escaped its creator in what is now 12 years. I have Wesley Dougill calling the area from Prestatyn through Rhyl to Llandudno a "a shoddy, unplanned and unsightly blight" in 1936 but that does not make a coherent concept for an encyclopaedia, or state anything factual, and certainly isn't this concept.

Delete, unless anyone cares to expand the list at List of urban areas in the United Kingdom to include smaller ones as far down the list as this one. PamD 12:24, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
