No notability is claimed. Cerejota (talk) 11:40, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * See Articles for deletion/104th meridian east for prior discussion of meridians and parallels. Also note that claiming notability is merely a formula for judging whether a person or group should be discussed at AFD and not be subject to speedy deletion.  It is not a deletion rationale under Deletion policy, and does not even apply outside of the specific classes of articles listed at Criteria for speedy deletion.

 * Keep Appears on thousands of world atlases, which seems to indicate notability to me. JulesH (talk) 13:03, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep As creator of the article, I echo the above arguments for keeping, in particular the precedent of 104th meridian east which indicates that people want this sort of article in Wikipedia. Bazonka (talk) 14:36, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems fine to me, a typical Almanac table. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 15:40, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep We include information that can be gotten from maps just as verbal sources. This set of articles is appropriate for a comprehensive encyclopedia. There are many valid ways or organizing and systematizing information. Summarizing graphical information in words is a valid approach to articles, for many reasons, including universal access. this is good sourced material; I suggest that nominating so many at a time before seeing what consensus would be, may not have been the best course.
