Talk:North Asia

NPOV

This article badly needs some NPOV and a more moderate tone (go easy on the bold text!). Could the original author(s) clarify/provide specific examples? For instance, what "western media" are you talking about? Also, do avoid labelling and generalising: for instance "Americans/Westerners make such mistakes..."

Remove Russian-centric pov on this article. It should only provide simple overview on geographic, history, and related matters. Durianlover1 (talk) 03:58, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

at present it just says that North Asia is essentially identical with Siberia. We don't need an article for that, it should just be merged into Siberia. 130.60.142.65 06:41, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

I concur; this article need not exist, as the term is little-used (if at all). Merge with Siberia. Adso de Fimnu 05:48, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Search on "north asia" shows the term has wildly different definitions, many of which do not contain Siberia at all.

United Nations geoscheme does not include a North Asia.

The most accurate thing to say about "North Asia" would be that it does not have a generally accepted definition, and is only used when it is arbitrarily defined for convenience, from various incompatible viewpoints. --JWB (talk) 14:03, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Area

Does anyone know the area for North Asia? The area listed for Siberia on its own page seems to be for a smaller definition of Siberia than the entire North Asia. GranChi (talk) 20:30, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Map

Can anyone make a light green fringe for parts of North Asia beyond the dark green boundaries, such as Northern Kazakhstan and Mongolia, and parts of the Urals (a third shade if need be) for historical/alt definitions to the one present --stretching further West.

Mongolia

I think, like, a couple of other countries should be included as North Asia, or at least just Mongolia Unknown... (talk) 00:40, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Most sources and atlases include Mongolia in East Asia, very few sources include the country in Central Asia. I haven't seen a single source or atlas which includes Mongolia in North Asia. Other than Siberia, Northern Kazakhstan (which includes North Kazakhstan, Akmola, Kostanay, and Pavlodar regions) is the only area which could be considered a part of North Asia.

Asian Russia is not North Asia or Siberia

Asian Russia shouldn't be redirected to North Asia (Siberia). Even though Siberia forms the bulk of Asian Russia, it does not equal to Asian Russia.

Asian Russia consists of three parts:

1. Russian Siberia (located east of the Ural Mountains watershed and the Ural River) in North Asia.

2. Sochi and some small pockets of land along the north-eastern Georgia–Russia border (located south of the Greater Caucasus Mountains watershed) in Western Asia.

3. Southern Orenburg Oblast (located south of the Ural River) in Central Asia. 110.145.30.41 (talk) 11:15, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
