The issue of volume of citations can also be subject specific. An article about Sudan women's national football team, which is a Good Article, has 26 total citations. Topically, this makes a lot of sense. Sioma, an article about a town in Zambia, has 23 citations and is a Start. I would expect an article about a town to potentially have more sources. There more well known a topic is, the more page views, it seems a sliding scale for sources should be used if trying to assess relative quality. --
I just started to look into Zambia, seems to be a horrible mess. The subdivisions were changed in 2011 and again in 2013, this until yesterday was not reflected in the articles. There are very little sources available, I had to spend a lot of time yesterday understanding which districts now belong to which province. I also created a missing article on a province (first level of the administrative subdivision) - I thought all such articles were done by 2004. I will clean up at least all articles on Zambian subdivisions, but it can very well take several weeks. Welcome to the Global South.
