I don't quite understand. Fine, call it NWG and Scandinavian. It seems
you are merely renaming West Germanic NWG, but I think you mean
something else. Are you bracketing out OHG etc into its own group?

 

No, North-West Germanic INCLUDES North Germanic (Scandinavian) + all the "West Germanic" groups. In other words, all the documented Germanic languages except Gothic are NWG, and all the EXTANT Germanic languages derive from Proto-NWG.
