Yes, you read the title correctly. I think it's fairly obvious that this fails all notability criteria, and would be of no use as a redirect even to List of political entities in the 3rd century. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 20:36, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Might give it a pass if it had some sort of sourcing. I really don't see the need. These lists seem to be chronological by year since... I'm not sure really. The years 221 and 223 anyway, based on the box at the bottom. Oaktree b (talk) 20:40, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It's redundant as per comment above, and the article doesn't make it clear what its inclusion criteria are. E.g. it lists "Saxons" as a sovereign state. What's that supposed to mean? Was there a single sovereign ruling over all Saxon people? Cortador (talk) 21:54, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - A clear NLIST fail. No sourcing, lots of OR, significant omissions and what exactly is special about 221? How are states defined? Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 12:43, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:LIST. This is random. Why no 311? Why not West Saxons and Northeastern Saxons? Bearian (talk) 17:21, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
