This article (or list) appears to be a synthesis of many sources. Each reference is for that specific province. Whether they are "short-lived" depends on our interpretation, and "short-lived provinces" in general is not a concept specifically discussed in the sources as far as I can see.

Delete the minds of those who create such articles continue to baffle. "Short-lived"??? What next, "Ottoman provinces with more than three vowels in their name"? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 23:11, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete since there is no clear selection criteria for the list members, and "short-lived" is ambiguous and subjective (WP:SELCRIT). ("More than three vowels in their name" criterion would be better in this regard; LOL.) --Kammerer55 (talk) 02:58, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Extremely problematic article that has no definable criteria. Let'srun (talk) 22:21, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
