Guañape Islands

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unsourced, false content. Is it a joke? Xx236 (talk) 07:03, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * A glance at the Google Books search results linked above shows that this is not a hoax. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 07:53, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I mean that the content is completely wrong, the Islands exist and are described es:Islas Guañape.Xx236 (talk) 08:04, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Well its just a sentence and can be easily changed, an AFD is not necessary for that. ;) Dead Mary (talk)


 * Keep These islands exist really and are off the coast of Peru. There are even quite some reports about these island. For example on the BBC, another one, or the independent. There is as a documentation (?) about them here. The islands are clearly notable per WP:GEOLAND and even per WP:GNG (cause of all those ducmentaries) too. There are problably even more soures in Spanish, when looking at the wiki article at Spanish Wikipedia. Dead Mary (talk) 08:26, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

 * I will update the article it in a few mins. Dead Mary (talk) 08:45, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I updated the article. Its still a small stub but the content should be correct now and notability is indicated by the sources. I guess it needs a Spanish speaker to expand the article further. Dead Mary (talk) 09:37, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:5. Wikipedia also functions as a gazetteer. North America1000 14:30, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - No longer unsourced, not false content and not a joke. The version at time of AfD seems to be a poor translation. --Oakshade (talk) 03:42, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep per NA1000. Seems there's real potential for expansion based on the Spanish article's sources. A little WP:BEFORE would have gone a long way, here. Antepenultimate (talk) 05:15, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
