List of Latin names of islands

Wikipedia is not a translation service. It is one thing to discuss Latin names in the contexts of ancient cities and regions, it is another to list how the names of selected islands translate into Latin.

 * Delete - this is just scope creep on Wikipedia. Wiktionary is the appropriate wiki project for translations. -- Sirfurboy (talk) 07:50, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Per my comment at linked afd. We have interwiki links, the Latin Wikipedia, and Wiktionary if someone is looking for mere translations. Half of these don't even change the spelling and half are OR neo-Latin. Reywas92Talk 08:41, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
