Original research list that doesn't satisfy WP:NLIST I am also nominating the the related North, East, and West articles.

 * Keep There do not seem to be any sources cited for the co-ordinate locations in any of the articles. However, I think the article itself should not be deleted. The concept of the extreme latitudes and longitudes of a country or region is definitely a notable subject, and the concept of compiling and comparing different extreme points in a list should also therefore be notable. Are not some of these locations/points only notable because they are the extreme points of that location? Are you going to delete Extreme points of Africa and other articles at the same time?

 * My argument applies exactly to that one, so yes? Traumnovelle (talk) 19:38, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Leaning keep all. I agree with Spiralwidget that extremes of latitude and longitude are notable, and therefore listworthy. BD2412  T 17:03, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
 * comment Assuming that the sourcing can be coughed up, this could just as well exist as a single article with the four extreme points of each country, sortable by each column (NESW). It would not surprise me to learn that there is already a list of countries which contains the information, or for that matter a list of countries by some geographical property to which these data could be added (e.g. a list ranked by area).

 * Extreme points are a topic covered by some sources, if only in a fun trivia way. Agree with above though that four sortable columns in a single table is likely a better format. List of countries by extreme points, like Extreme points of the European Union/Extreme points of the Commonwealth of Nations only hopefully more notable. CMD (talk) 07:41, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
