"Low German" isn't only used in the linguistic sense edit
Further evidence for why including a link to Northern Germany on the page is helpful. Google "Low German culture" (10,900 results); "Lower Germany" (147k results); "Low German provinces" (1k results); "Low German lands" (3.2k results). Indeed, we already have an example of a non-lingusitic use of the adjective. There is no reason to keep deleting the reference; otherwise people going to the page are going to think the term exclusively linguistic, which it clearly isn't.

- Google is not sufficient to establish this, see WP:Google. Also Lower and Low are not the same thing.—-Ermenrich (talk) 01:52, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
- It's a disambiguation page, do you really need a scholarly source? What kind of references are yous looking for? Here's the OED entry btw:
- 2. Of or relating to Germany exclusive of the highlands in the south; of or relating to West Germanic-speaking peoples (†or all Germanic-speaking peoples) not inhabiting the highlands in what is now the south of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
