User:Grutness/Geo-stub tallying

They call me The Count... because I love... to COUNT! Mwahahahahaha!

Geo-stub sorting tally

There are still a lot of countries which are grouped together under geo-stub names like "Central Asia" or "Caribbean". Some of these countries are getting close to the minimum 60-100 needed for separate stubs, but - unless there are associated WikiProjects, or their "group" is getting very large, there may be little need to splt them.

The following is a list of these undifferentiated countries arranged by the approximate current number of stubs (this, of course, is in constant flux). One note: "country" is a decidedly vague term - several of the entities listed are technically not regarded as countries by all meanings of the term (Ceuta and Melilla, the Spratly Islands, and South Georgia, for just three examples).

This list was prepared from the 15 regional categories, using information from the dates given. Those marked in bold have 50 or more stubs. Note that - as some stubs (e.g., articles about rivers, mountain ranges) may refer to more than one country - the numbers below will not necessarily add up to the number of articles in each regional stub category.
