I don't know whether this is an article or a list, but nevertheless it is a poorly organised mess of synthesis and original research. The term "sovereign state" does not even have a meaning for most of the periods this timeline purports to cover. Nice colours, though. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 13:23, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is a great idea for a graph of some sort, if it had some solid sources. But it will never be a good idea for a wikitext table. I count 100 columns and 40++ rows, making it more appropriate for a wall than a browser. To quote Indiana Jones: "It belongs in a museum!" Wizmut (talk) 08:37, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Per nomination. While it may look cool, it doesn't seem appropriate due to it's poor structure. 🛧Midori No Sora♪🛪 ( ☁＝☁＝✈) 07:05, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
