Abbott Island

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable uninhabited remote Antarctic island. Article has no references, and does not qualify under WP:GEOLAND or separately under WP:GNG. Does not appear to have received any non-trivial coverage in reliable independent sources (note that Abbott Island in Antarctica is different from Abbott Island in Australia). WP:EXISTence doesn't mean notability. KDS4444 (talk) 07:14, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete There are some geographic sources mentioning this but it is unclear to the exact location of this landform, my best guess is that it is used to refer to various islets between Brabant and Liege Island, all of which are pretty much rocks no bigger than maybe 40 cubic feet a piece. There are probably hundreds of thousands of these in the Palmer Archipelago, and it doesn't make sense to have an article on all of them. Here it is on | Google maps], if you want to try and make some sense of it. I originally thought it could be the large-ish island of about 4km sqaured a little south of Liege Island, but after further research this appears to be Davis Island (Palmer Archipelago) . Also, there are no sources for anything in this article and I think some or all of it may be a hoax.AlessandroTiandelli333 (talk) 08:40, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Redirect to List of Antarctic and subantarctic islands It is mentioned over there, so a redirect wouldn't hurt. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 04:55, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
