List of first-level administrative country subdivisions

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Basically, this article violates WP policy WP:UCN because it encompasses an impossibly broad collection of political subdivisions. Consider, what happens if you multiply the 200 or so countries in the world by their state or provinces by their counties or parish subdivisions, and then by their city or town subdivisions? What we get is an impossibly long long and un-encyclopedic list. – S. Rich (talk) 09:24, 20 August 2014 (UTC) 17:47, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
