 * Keep (snowball). The Alas Islands are small but real, as a web search will easily prove; for example see here or search at the U.S. National Geospatial Intelligence Agency.  When I created the article in 2005, I included the latitude and longitude, which are easily verified.  The article claims that they are fictitious; this should be corrected. —Mark Dominus (talk) 14:24, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I reverted the article to a correct version. —Mark Dominus (talk) 14:35, 3 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Withdraw nomination, now that the real islands have been restored. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:46, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
