 * Comment When one article has existed since 2004 and the other since 2007, I find it hard to call either one a content fork. Jclemens (talk) 05:30, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as inferior near-duplicate of List of autonomous areas by country, per nom.--JayJasper (talk) 03:31, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Not a duplicate but complementary to the other article in content and organization. Not a content fork under any reasonable construct of rationales for content forks.  Sharing information where each presents the information in an entirely different manner does not a "content fork" make.  Notable material, hence Keep. Collect (talk) 15:03, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep I agree that it's not a duplicate, and after looking at List of autonomous areas by country and comparing the two, I'd say this one is better organized. It has the benefit of being a sortable table, so that one may organize it by country or by name of area.  The latter has a good deal of information, but it's the Wikipedia equivalent of the messy office with papers strewn all about.  Mandsford 19:19, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
