This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

They still have to decide. It just varies.
They could depict regions as contested.
They could. Or they could use the UN consensus.
But they don't.
