 * Symbol question.svg Article is new enough, long enough and there are no copyvios. Hooks are cited to reliable sources, but I'll have to AGF as they're Indonesian. I like ALT1 the best. My only quibble is - if "Doom" is the common term for the island, should the article not be Doom (island) instead? See Template:Did you know nominations/Trump Street for a similar problem (if you can wade through the other chaff there) Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  09:29, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I think it's most commonly called "Pulau Doom"/"Doom Island", I just left it out in the hook for the resulting effect. And didn't the original hook in that nom end up being the chosen hook? Juxlos (talk) 10:09, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg It did (after a lot of drama and silliness). And thinking aloud, I can see myself saying something like "Why don't we go for a drive to Mersea today, have lunch at the Oyster Shack and watch the boat race?" So I'll AGF.
