List of islands by population density

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

(1), creation by sockpuppet of banned user (2), entirely unsourced (someone added a non-reliable source to the external links, that is not a source) (3) sockpuppet created it as a battleground to engage old foes. (4) it's non-notable trivia, list of X by criteria Y. there are good X by Y articles, this isn't ever going to be one. SchmuckyTheCat

 * Keep. Population density of geographical regions is a strange definition of trivia.  Who created the article is irrelevant; if they are editing it disruptively, they should be blocked and/or banned.  As Qaka points out in a comment that has been repeatedly deleted from this discussion by User:SchmuckyTheCat, the information used on the list is well sourced in the articles on the respective islands, and the sources can simply be copied from there.  Article really needs expanding, as at the moment the selection of islands included is rather peculiar, but that's the only hard-to-solve problem I see with it. JulesH 17:06, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete Article was created in bad faith just to promote a political viewpoint. Contents are also practically unsourced except for the first entry, the same source of which does not provide information on the other entries. A list of items by population density must preferably come from one source, because population figures form multiple sources can be taken via wildly different timeframes, and can differ from source to source depending on whether it is based on a census, or mere estimation.--Huaiwei 17:08, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

 * It appears like List of Canadian islands by population. It is also linked from List of islands by population. Keep. Satomi Kataoka 23:16, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The difference is that Canadian islands is a manageable set, unlike "every island in the world". Kappa 00:44, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep but merge - see my comments for precdeing item. Peterkingiron 23:34, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, unless someone actually solves the problem of criteria for inclusion this is indiscriminate information. I have the feeling any such criteria will be redundant with other similar lists, like list of island countries. Kappa 00:44, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
