It is proposed that this article be deleted because of the following concern:

Inaccurate to the extent this suggests that this is the only meaning; a "legal nullity" is anything that has apparent form but no substance or consequence in law, not just a coterminous government, and even this is just an obvious usage of "nullity" in a legal context.

If you can address this concern by improving, copyediting, sourcing, renaming, or merging the page, please edit this page and do so. You may remove this message if you improve the article or otherwise object to deletion for any reason. Although not required, you are encouraged to explain why you object to the deletion, either in your edit summary or on the talk page. If this template is removed, do not replace it.

This message has remained in place for seven days, so the article may be deleted without further notice.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article so that it is acceptable according to the deletion policy.

Administrators: delete

Any geographical or governmental unit which exists only in name, without any actual or theoretical power.

Exaples of this are Philadelphia County, a legal nullity because it is entirely coterminous with the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and New York County, which is similarly coterminous with New York City.
