WP:REDUNDANT Outdated listicle originally by long banished user. Better served by European Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics, although that needs updating, too.

Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2023 February 20. —^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 06:58, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I don't really see the problem (other than perhaps the name of the page, shouldn't it be a 'List of..'?). Seems to me it is fairly short, easily verifiable and potentially useful for navigation around WP. If it is outdated then I would think it could be easily updated. Origin with a banned user seems irrelevant in this case unless I'm missing something. JMWt (talk) 08:02, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete useless WP:CONTENTFORK that synths the various administrative divisions of these countries under a geographic (but not administrative) moniker. Unless the claim that "The administrative divisions of the Nordic countries are similar given the countries' shared culture and history" can be sourced and significantly beefed up this article does no good. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 10:28, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom and WP:CONTENTFORK. RadioactiveBoulevardier (talk) 05:11, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep: Meets WP:AOAL. Agree the name needs to be changed, prefer "Outline of..." over list of because the order is topical and it could be easily expanded. // Timothy :: talk 08:10, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
