OR essay. Google gives no hits whatsoever, not citations in the article, and I've never heard this phrase before. Just a neologism.

  • Hello I made the article actually because I noticed that there was little to no information at all quarters of the earth and actually no accepted academic term even for it. A quick search into what one should call a quarter of a sphere I think literally comes up with more cases of people asking questions than answers. I put it up under the name Northeastern Quartersphere with the intention having a few other possible names people might conjure when thinking of that region link to it as well, and agree that that term alone qualifies as OR and does not exist anywhere else.

Despite a paucity of material on it, I still think the region with those boundaries is significant, but I do concede that any term used to describe the area would be in little and that maybe the concept itself is rare. The best term would probably be "Northern Eastern Hemisphere" or "Easter Northern Hemisphere". All things considered (including Wikipedia's Policy), it might be best just to touch on this in a reduced or modified fashion on either the Northern Hemisphere or Eastern Hemisphere articles as a side note. Your thoughts?Nanib (talk) 21:55, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if this makes this worth saving as an independent article under one of those names or not? The top one, Sub-Saharan Africa: an environmental history - Page 76, of them was something talking about Jared Diamond's reasoning for communication lagging in Sub-Saharan Africa as opposed to the "northern Eastern Hemisphere", for what that is worth.Nanib (talk) 01:38, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • One Question before it is deleted though for
    WP:OR, does anyone think it would be reasonable and appropriate under Wikipedia Policy to add anything about the Northern portion of the Eastern Hemisphere or Eastern portion of the Northern Hemisphere to the respective articles or even creating an article on the Northern Eastern Hemisphere, or do you think it would be best just to let this issue rest for now, only to be touched on if and when it does become more common a concept in terms of "notability"? Regarding the second part of the first part of that question, I'm asking because I don't know if has been established yet that the idea of a Northern Eastern Hemisphere or its equivalent itself notable enough for inclusion in the encyclopedia here, or if it is not. If it is not then its not and I don't take any issue with it.Nanib (talk) 01:24, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply
