List of counties in Maine (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Article was promoted to FL in 2007 and seems to have been all but abandoned since.
- Begins with "this is a list", which has been discouraged in lists for ages.
- Multiple {{page needed}} issues throughout.
- Census.gov link is not formatted properly, and population data do not appear to have been updated for the 2020s.
- Is seven footnotes enough for a FL?

- Delist A lot of issues. There isn't even a date for the population numbers. Subjectively I think the FIPS code is not worth the space for the column and should be removed. Wording is overall poor (see the sentence: "...created was York County, created as..."). Unsourced columns (all the etymologies and origins), and missing a density column which would be very insightful. It would be a lot of work to get this up to standard.

- Delist per User:TenPoundHammer and User:Mattximus. This could be a very interesting list, but clearly needs a lot of work, as large parts of the table appear to be unsourced. The prose is also awkward and should go through a few rounds of editing. Bgsu98 (Talk) 21:55, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
