* Verdict: False. Very very false. "The counts may be wrong" (Jimmy Wales 8 August 2014)
* Reason: Look it just is, OK?
* Real reason: At the time of writing there are 703 articlespages in the LOTR category according to Catscan with subcategories set to a depth of 7. On [[:Category:Sub-Saharan Africa]] the tool ''fails'' with <code>maximum number of objects exceeded</code> even with a depth of 4! With a depth of 3 there are 21,076 articles and 778 categories - i.e. more ''categories'' on SSA then ''articles'' on LOTR.
* Even more: If you exclude [[WP:redirect]]s the LOTR list reduces to 191, the SSA to 21,050, outnumbering the LOTR by more than 100.
* Commentry: KingCantona says it best at [http://www.rollonfriday.com/Discussion/MainDiscussion/tabid/79/Id/10382711/currentPage/0/Default.aspx Rollonfriday.com] "[[One does not simply walk into Mordor|One does not simply]] write an article about Sub-Saharan Africa".
