 * User:E4024 put this message in my user talk page:- Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:08, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Hello, I am trying to propose Imbros and Tenedos for deletion as there are articles on each of those Turkish islands and therefore no need to have them together on a separate page. As I am not very able in tagging and other related procedures I am kindly requesting you to review whatever I may have done and correct where there might be a mistake, please. Thanks in advance and all the best. --E4024 (talk) 10:56, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep to preserve history, as Imbros and Tenedos were split from here. TimBentley (talk) 13:32, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep as a sort of forked redirect from the title - does no harm, could be useful, and the phrase seems quite commonly used, especially in historical sources. Pam  D  12:42, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment- Only two replies, with weak arguments, another reason to delete. --E4024 (talk) 10:37, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete or Redirect to e.g. List of Aegean Islands - as this is not a correctly formed DAB, and two entries can be covered by hatnotes anyhow. As there should be no incoming links, simply a redirect is ok too. Widefox ; talk 15:59, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Redirect per Widefox. We more or less need to keep this in some form to preserve its history, but I agree that this fails as a dab and shouldn't have incoming links. --BDD (talk) 22:41, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep as stub pointing to its two components. Not a dab page. -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:21, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment It currently has no incoming links from article space, but has a most impressive set of redirects from variant spellings, and/&, etc. I have added a couple of references illustrating uses of the term. Pam  D  13:32, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep as a brief description of the history of these two islands having been grouped together, but not as a disambiguation page, per JHunterJ. bd2412  T 15:51, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per JHunterJ and BD412, since these two islands form some sort of polity for joint consideration in some circumstances an article on those circumstances seems appropriate. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:26, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep as some kind of navigational aid. I'd prefer a dab page, but something short would work as well. Vcessayist (talk) 23:51, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
