Lists of country subdivisions

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This is a very short List of Lists page, consisting entirely of 4 list links, followed by a template that contains the same 4 list links. All links to this page are via the same template. Incestuous. Do we often have these navigation of navigation placeholder pages?

Also, the name of the page matches a previous AfD in 2011 that resulted in a redirect to the properly named page. So we could rename this page, but I'm not certain this page is worth saving. We could simply delete it, and remove the link to it from the template. Poof! William Allen Simpson (talk) 12:17, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

 * I don't know, it is rather short and vague, but it is still a good article for navigation sake. Weak Keep. Foxnpichu (talk) 13:29, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
 * No good for navigation. As I mentioned, it is only accessible from the template, and that already has the navigation links. Just a sort of anchor page.
 * Very well. I suppose I will change to Weak Delete. Foxnpichu (talk) 19:11, 26 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete. It doesn't do anything that Category:Lists of country subdivisions doesn't, and is far less complete. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:30, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Categories and Templates can't replace mainspace pages in term of helpfulness to an average reader.★Trekker (talk) 19:42, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: This is a See also section which has been made into an article. It doesn't meet LISTN or AOAL.   // Timothy ::  talk  09:38, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
