List of islands by name

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This request also applies to all 26 linked pages. The reasom is simple: Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. There're more than 10000 article about islands in English Wikipedia. GZWDer (talk) 17:18, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep – These articles fully qualify per WP:NOTDUP relative to Category:Islands and subcategories therein. They are also functional navigational aids per WP:LISTPURP. The lists are not indiscriminate because virtually all of the links are blue-linked to valid Wikipedia articles. The few that are redlinked can be verified with sources. Also, the lists are quite easily maintainable, as evidenced by their neat and organized state at this time. See WP:NOEFFORT regarding articles that are not being continuously worked on. Also, this copy/paste nomination states that there are 26 articles nominated (diff), but only List of islands by name has the AfD template on it. North America1000 18:45, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
 * This list probably has similar problem as List of places by name: It is far from complete. It does have red links, but there're no reference to support their notablity.--GZWDer (talk) 19:23, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep per the arguments above. I don't see any justification for removing a page like this only for the encyclopedia to be less convenient for the readers. edtiorEهեইдအီးËეεઈדוארई電子ಇអ៊ី전자ഇī😎 21:14, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
