Draft:10 largest countries in the world


Already exists at List of countries and dependencies by area. No useful content to merge. CoolSkittle (talk) 01:45, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete dup of existing page Legacypac (talk) 18:31, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete - It isn't a duplicate of the list of countries, and it does have distinctive content, but is not labeled correctly. It is a list of countries in the world in approximately 1980.  Notice that the top entry is not the Russian Federation but the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and the area is the correct area of the USSR, not of present-day Russia or the RSFSR.  It might be useful if we had lists of countries by area with years.  It is valid after the decolonization of Africa and before the breakup of the Soviet Union.  Just by itself, it isn't useful, and there is no merge target.  Robert McClenon (talk) 01:47, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
 * So List of countries and dependencies in area in 1980? How is that a valid topic under WP:NLIST? Legacypac (talk) 03:31, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
 * It probably isn't, so delete. I was just pointing out that it isn't a duplicate of anything we have.  Robert McClenon (talk) 06:47, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
