Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of country subdivisions by population
It looks like I'm going to be in the minority here, but I find the nominator's  rationale deeply convincing. As appears to be uncontested, ''no reliable sources'' have ever discussed the populations of these subdivisions as a set. (The references only cite randomly plucked statistics from individual countries, and my searching finds nothing.) That means that, under NLIST, the article has to go, regardless of any OR issues. I hope the closer recognizes that the notability argument here has gone essentially unrebutted
