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 split 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).

Current/future proposals

Currently being split (see User:Grutness/Ongoing geo-stub splits):

• none

Current proposals:

Upcoming proposals:

• Barbados-geo-stub
• UAE-geo-stub

The full list

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.

(* Kosovo geo-stubs should be kept here to avoid the edit warring which occurred when they were listed with Serbia-geo-stubs. However, they seem to come and go at the whim of various factional editors. The whole thing is a load of Balkans if you ask me)
