Line 18:

:Note that the "Puerto Rico" category currently has 91 members. There are 350 NRHPs listed in Puerto Rico, 182 of which have articles so far, and 108 of which are stubs, per [[wp:NRHPPROGRESS]] report as of today. So 168 new articles may be created for existing NRHPs, plus articles for new NRHP listings.

There remain 206 in the remaining, generic "NRHP stubs" category, most of which are from the U.S Virgin Islands, from Guam, from other Pacific territories, etc. Per [[wp:NRHPPROGRESS]], the total of stubs in these areas are 35 + 75 + 25 + 25 + 22 + 5 + 2 + 0 = 189. (So perhaps 17 in the generic category should be put into already existing categories. But the other explanation for discrepancy in numbers is that there are formerly listed NRHP places, e.g. demolished buildings, which properly have a NRHP-stub and are categorized in the NRHP system, but are not counted in the NRHPPROGRESS report, which covers just current listings.)

I propose:

;to cover all those on the Atlantic side of the U.S., i.e.(all of which are in the CaribbeanU.S. Virgin Islands, (besides those in Puerto Rico):

*[[:United States Virgin Islands Registered Historic Place stubs‎]], corresponding to the 87 NRHP-listed places, 44 of which have articles, 35 of which are stubs. It would be possible to further divide this into

**[[:Saint Croix, United States Virgin Islands Registered Historic Place stubs‎]] (40 NRHPs, 22 articles, 18 stubs)

Line 31:

;to cover all the rest, which are all in U.S. territories and other possessions in the Pacific:

*[[:Pacific OceanOceania Registered Historic Place stubs]], corresponding to the 238 (132+37+31+26+6+4+2) NRHPs, 199 (97+35+29+26+6+4+2) articles, 129 (75+25+22+5+2+0) stubs. (See below for detail by each of 7 possessions, and see [[wp:NRHPPROGRESS]].)

:I wondered if this couldshould be called "OceaniaPacific Ocean Registered Historic Place stubs" butinstead, definitionsthe definition of [[Oceania]] varyseems to fit. Oceania is defined to be vast, running from Australia and mightarguably notto include even as far east as Hawaii, so includes all of these. (The Hawaii NRHP ones are properly covered in [[:Category:Western National Register of Historic Places stubs]]. I think "Oceania" is clear, and will be understood to include all of these, without confusion about Hawaii.)

:It would be possible to further divide this into:

Line 42:

:*[[:Marshall Islands Registered Historic Places stubs]] 4 NRHPs, 4 articles, 2 stubs

:*[[:U.S. Minor Outlying Islands Registered Historic Places stubs]]2 NRHPs, 2 articles, 0 stubs

:but my proposal is to make just one for all these Pacific OceanOceania ones together. Note the number of stubs can grow from current 129 as new articles are created for the 60 current NRHPs that are currently redlinks and for new NRHP listings in the PacificOceania, which would include on Wake Island and other places where there are not yet any NRHPs.
