 * Delete as WP:LISTCRUFT. Agree with nominator. Ajf773 (talk) 06:00, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete as WP:OR and obvious listcruft. The section headings "Largely unrecognized states" say it all. Chiswick Chap (talk) 06:37, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
 * This point at least is easily defensible. Have you not seen List of states with limited recognition?--Pharos (talk) 11:12, 31 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete as per above. MB 03:46, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
