there was never any good reason for those to be written at all; they are only statistical areas and relevant only in elections, not as geographic places; any information on those pages is just as easily included here.

AgainstCSDs deserve their own articles, and a few have unorganized areas in other provinces have been saved from deletion (and those are less notable than RDAs). --

Comment That's fine if they're titled "census subdivisions" but they're not; electoral areas are not "valid geographic objects" with any more purpose than head-counting and voting. It's one thing for StatsCan to use them as census areas; quite another to, say, start a category "people from Cariboo A, British Columbia" or (as has often happened) people write glowing travelogues and recreation guides to go with them. If they're important as census areas title them that. In British Columbia English, also, someone referring to them as electoral areas will not refer to them by the StatsCan name+letter format, but as "EA H" or "Electoral Area H".
