We have a stub or more for:

a) every contemporary head of state or head of government
b) every sitting UK, US, Australian or Canadian parliamentarian and
their constituencies
c) every past US senator
d) every member of the European Parliament (which surprises me)

We're slowly reaching at least basic completeness in some fields; a
lot of the missing-articles lists are beginning to top out. There's
still a long way to go, though.
