If the relevant power rankings are called the "Tristate Power Rankings", and there's no competing name, this title is fine (perhaps with "area" lowercase).

Right. Unless you want to call it NY/NJ/PA like that. [[User:RoyboyX|<font color="red">'''Roy'''</font><font color="gray">'''boy'''</font><font color="darkred">'''X'''</font>]] [[User talk:RoyboyX|''<span style="color:brown;">'''Talk'''</span>'']] 18:16, 28 August 2013 (EDT)
:I am not saying that this article has to be moved. I'm not sure what this article should be called. I think "Tristate Area" is most appropriate, but I've seen people call it New York/New Jersey/Pennsylvania, as well as New York/New Jersey. I would like some input on what it should be called, particularly from competitive players.

Personally I would say that the name "Tristate Area" is the better name for the page. But I do have to agree that there are more Tristate areas other than NY/NJ/PA so the name "Tristate Area" may not be as specific enough as it could mean any three states that happens to connect to each other so competitive players might have a point of naming the area NY/NJ/PA instead.

How's this? We call it "Tristate area (NY/NJ/PA)" to show both names and in case there are other tristate areas we can distinguish.

If there are multiple tristate areas, this page should just be a disambiguation, with separate articles for the other areas. Unless the separate articles are too short (which I'm unsure about), I don't see any problems with this.

As long as it covers PA, the article's name should be "Tristate Area", that is what it's called, not "NY/NJ/PA", and "NY/NJ" does not cover PA.
