I only found one town of 100,000 in Namibia, and Wikipedia has an article on
a library in it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windhoek_Public_Library

As far as I'm concerned my local library is in the top 10,000 articles.  If
you want to even things out, try adding articles, not deleting my top
10,000.
