'Triply landlocked'
This term - used in the lede - is wikilinked to Landlocked countries. But it is not explained there. I think it means that it is surrounded by statses which are themselves doubly landlocked. (Doubly landlocked meaning surrounded by states which are landlocked.)  But the term is not explained in either article. We should not have an obscure term in the lede which is not explained anywhere in Wikipedia. Boscaswell  talk  22:33, 3 August 2021 (UTC)


 * There now is a source cited (dead link, but archived here), which says "Nebraska is the only triple landlocked state – to get to an ocean, one must travel through three states." This claim is repeated in a video by Matt Parker. But it is manifestly false as is obvious from looking at a map. There are several other states (South and North Dakota among them) from which one cannot reach an ocean without going through three other states. If the words "or provinces" is added then maybe it is true: From North Dakota, for instance, you need only go through Manitoba to Hudson Bay which presumably counts as ocean. But that isn't the claim made by the cited source. Since "triply landlocked" seems not to be a commonly agreed upon term and the sources don't provide a definition by which the claim is true, it seems to me it should be removed.

 * Remove it. The concept of being landlocked isn't meaningfully applied to provinces or states within a given country. Meters (talk) 03:34, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I have moved this from the lead to the "Geography" section, and am not opposed to someone else removing it entirely. It is definitely trivia. Walt Yoder (talk) 16:25, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
 * The added "when counting U.S. states and Canadian provinces as separate political entities" clears up the confusion, but this is just contrived trivia. I've removed it. Meters (talk) 08:39, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
