The result of the proposal was: Moved to alternative suggestion List of countries and territories in the Americas. The current title's use of Pan-American (meaning embracing the whole continent) is not precisely correct, while the alternative suggestion is also less ambiguous than the original title.

List of Pan-American countries and territories → List of American countries and territories — This is the original title of the page, a list of all the countries in the American continent. A user is changing every single article related to America to "Pan-America" pushing a POV. Alex Covarrubias ( Talk? ) 19:12, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Merge List of Pan-American countries by population into List of Pan-American countries and territories

I suggest that List of Pan-American countries by population be merged into List of Pan-American countries and territories because a single sortable table is all that is necessary. The "ranking" in the other page makes no sense, since the figures are different for different countries. However, if merged here, a sortable table can be made to sort by population, or name, or if it's sovereign or a dependency, or if it's in the Carribean, Central America, North America, South America. 76.66.197.30 ( talk) 04:23, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
There has been an extensive debate over at Talk:List of European countries and territories about what should and should not be included in the list because of the title. Most editors there support moving the page to either List of sovereign states and dependent territories in Europe or List of European sovereign states and territories. If the European list is moved it is likely this list will be moved as well in the next few days unless there is opposition to such a move here. It would help to avoid confusion and disputes if the all of these lists (countries and territories by continents) have the same title. Saying sovereign state rather than country is a more precise term and is in line with the fact List of countries redirects to the list of sovereign states article.
If you have thoughts on the title please raise them here or ideally join the debate at Talk:List of European countries and territories. Thanks BritishWatcher ( talk) 11:08, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
The article states "America is mostly located in the western hemisphere, although some of the north-west islands enter the eastern hemisphere."
Which islands? The Eastern Hemisphere is the land right of the Greenwich Meridian, the 0 degrees line of longitude that passes through Greenwich, London. What part of the Americas is right of England? McLerristarr | Mclay1 04:40, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
