Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of provinces and states in North America
as a poorly-defined list that is inferior to lists contained in the articles Provinces and territories of Canada, Political divisions of Mexico, and U.S. state. The list identifies its scope as including ''provinces'' and ''states'', yet it includes the three territories of Canada, the Mexico City#Federal District|Distrito Federal, and the District of Columbia. The "|useful" argument is simply not convincing since anyone with the ability to find this list could just as easily search for and find the others
