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 I see are from the U.S Virgin Islands, from Guam, from other Pacific territories, etc. Per [[wp:NRHPPROGRESS]], the total of stubs in these areas is 189 (35+75+25+25+22+5+2+0=189). (So perhaps 17 in the generic category should be put into already existing categories. But another 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. A further explanation is that separate articles are sometimes created for individual contributing buildings within NRHP-listed historic districts, and are not counted in NRHPPROGRESS report.)

I propose:

Line 31:

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

*[[:Oceania 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, 129154 (75+25+25+22+5+2+0) stubs. (See below for detail by each of 7 possessions, and see [[wp:NRHPPROGRESS]].)

:I wondered if this should be called "Pacific Ocean Registered Historic Place stubs" instead, but the definition of [[Oceania]] seems to fit well. Oceania is a generally understood term and is defined to be vast, running from Australia and arguably to 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 in this context, and will be understood to include all of these, without confusion about the U.S. state of Hawaii.)

Line 40:

:*[[:Federated States of Micronesia Registered Historic Places stubs]], corresponding to 26 NRHPs, 26 articles, 22 stubs.

:*[[:Palau Registered Historic Places stubs]], 6 NRHPs, 6 have articles, 5 are stubs.

:*[[: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 Oceania ones together. Note the number of stubs can grow from current 129154 as new articles are created for the 60 current NRHPs that are currently redlinks, for separation of contributing buildings from historic district articles, and for new NRHP listings in Oceania, which would include on [[Wake Island]] and other places where there are not yet any NRHPs.
