Index of Clipperton Island-related articles

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This is a list of extremely little use. It lists articles related to the remote Clipperton Island; however, one look at Category:Clipperton Island will show we only have two articles on Clipperton Island, and one of them is this one. There are no other directly relevant articles to link. Instead, this article links to such tangentially related topics as National Emblem of France, Western Hemisphere, Pacific Ocean and .fr. I understand this is meant to be one of a series of indexes (see Category:Indexes of articles by country) but in the case of Clipperton Island, we have so few articles on it there's entirely no need for it.

 * Alright, to be fair, it also links to the Clipperton Island category on Commons. But there are no useful links in this article that are not already in Clipperton Island. Robofish (talk) 00:02, 6 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - this weird padded list of links (Clipperton Island is linked a bunch of times through different piped names, same with France) should not be on the mainspace.--70.80.234.163 (talk) 01:34, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, without prejudice to re-creation in the future - a stripped-down list of links (that is, a list of links without paragraphical article prose) may be useful, but this "index" doesn't have enough meat to qualify even as a stub. There doesn't appear to be enough coverage on this topic to warrant an index at this time. So, I suggest we delete it, without prejudice to building a new one if and when there is enough coverage to warrant it.  The Transhumanist 09:57, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - An index article serves as a navigation aid to readers to find articles all related to a specific topic. This index is just a bizarre collection of vaguely related links that have been padded out to give the appearance of substance. -- Whpq (talk) 14:36, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment why are indices in articlespace instead of book or portalspace? 184.144.163.181 (talk) 05:11, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete There is no need or justification for this index. The subject is so straightforward and so limited, not even a DAB page would be justified. --MelanieN (talk) 03:32, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
