List of island countries by population density

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

List of X by Y article that we do not need. Completely unsourced. Created by sockpuppet of banned user as a place to get in edit fights. SchmuckyTheCat
 * Speedy Delete per nom.--JForget 01:55, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Useful comparitive geographic article.  Could easily be sourced with reference to standard political geographical texts (e.g. CIA world fact book), or, as User:Qaka pointed out in a now-deleted comment, references from the articles on the countries in question could be copied into the list.  Identity of original author is irrelevant. JulesH 08:07, 6 August 2007 (UTC) (updated JulesH 21:29, 6 August 2007 (UTC) to account for deleted comments)
 * Complete the list (many island countries are missing) and merge into Island country. Useful geographic information.--orlady 15:39, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete. Article was created in bad faith just to promote a political viewpoint. Statistically tables cannot be allowed to stay for long withour any appropriate referencing.--Huaiwei 16:38, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep, may very well have been created for the wrong reasons.... but that doesn't mean the article can't be kept and improved. Mathmo Talk 21:40, 7 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. I agree with Mathmo. This article can improve. Satomi Kataoka 23:20, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep but merge with the article nominated next. There is no need for separate lists for island nations and islands; one article will be enough, possibly with the addition of a separate column for status, where those that are nations can be identified.  Peterkingiron 23:32, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge right into list of island countries. When it's done it can replace the section which says "Alphabetical list of island countries" since it sorts alphabetically as well as by the other columns. Kappa 05:51, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
